b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 7 positive Reviews in the last 12 months.
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating of all Reviews over all time. For each review the Care Home / service is rated Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor or Very Poor on a number of areas eg Staff, Management etc. The Care Home receives points for each rating as follows: Excellent = 5. Good = 4. Satisfactory = 3. Poor = 2. Very Poor = 1. These points are added up and then divided by the total number of completed ratings to generate the average rating.
The Average Rating of 4.524 for Ashton Court is calculated as follows: ( (50 Excellents x 5) + (29 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 84 Ratings = 4.524
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this Care Home to friends and family if they needed similar care or treatment?'
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
4 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews, 3 points for the first Positive Review and then 0.25 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews.
1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.
If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. The calculation is the same as above, except the points are divided by 2.
The 4.897 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Ashton Court is based on 7 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4
Target of 7.8 positive Reviews (39 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 7 Reviews ÷ 7.8 Target = 0.897
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

Suffering from dementia, my mother was admitted to Ashton Court in 2011. During her stay, she received excellent care and was treated with dignity at all times. The staff were kind and caring and the management approachable.
The home was bright, clean and comfortable and entertainment provided on a regular basis. I was always offered a drink and often stayed with mum for tea as she was unable to go out in later years. The staff worked so hard to ensure the residents were happy and comfortable. My mum passed away recently, aged 95 and I received the utmost support from the staff.

The bed is an air bed and it's noisy and the wife can't sleep on it.
I have asked for help to feed the wife but all you get is she can feed herself.

My husband and I are pleased with the care and assistance his mother receives at Ashton Court. The staff are friendly and cheerful and have given much special attention, especially recently when it was a birthday celebration. We are made to feel welcome whenever we go and can see that residents are happy and well looked after. The main rooms have been newly decorated to a high standard.
