Really fun afternoon at the Community Day on Sunday 3rd July at Ash Court. A lot of hard work was put into preparing for the event but those who were working on Sunday went above and beyond to ensure that all the residents and family members including children had a great time. Lovely to see so many
smiling faces. Extra praise must go to the person who organised the day - and of course, to the two who stole the show! Thanks to everyone involved in organising the event - look forward to the next one. You are all stars.

I had Christmas lunch with my Dad at Ash Court and just wanted to say an extra “thank you” to the staff who were working that day. You all went out of your way to make it a really special afternoon for us and at 95 who knows how many more there will be? We had lunch in the conservatory so it was very
light and airy, with lovely cloths on the table and silver crackers for Dad and me to pull. The food was great including a nut roast for veggie me (even though I hadn’t said before) and loads of potatoes and veg followed by trifle - gorgeous. It was a day to remember so thank you to the staff who put the music on for us, the staff who did the cooking, and last but not least, thank you particularly to the staff who served the food with a smile! See you soon.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My Great Aunt has recently died having spent two years at Ash Court. She was generally happy and the family always found the home to be clean and helpful. However, the whole experience was totally ruined in September when my aunt was starting to go downhill. At 94 we expected that but what we didn't
expect was that her wedding ring would go missing whilst she was sleeping. We searched her room high and low and reported it to the management but to no avail. We also reported the incident to the police but we recognise that they have limited options. We have no answer as to what happened to the ring. The reply we got from the management was 'these things happen'. What is that supposed to mean? A cousin asked one member of staff about the ring and her strange reply was 'I wasn't in at the weekend'. No one mentioned the weekend. Whilst things mysteriously disappear in this home I would suggest it is not fit to care for anyone vulnerable or confused.
Reply from Julie Caygill, Hospital Liaison Team Administrator at Ash Court Care Home

Mum has been here for just over a year and is settled. The staff are amazing. Sometimes staff shortages put pressure on staff and don't have the time to chat to residents or take time with them - I feel for the staff. I understand this is a difficult situation and I can't praise the staff enough.

Mum has been a resident since December 2018. She has settled in well. Home is bright, well maintained and welcoming. Staff are very caring and understanding of people's needs. The family are welcomed and kept up to date regarding Mum. Friendly atmosphere. Rooms are tastefully decorated and we have been
able to move personal items in. Open door policy with the manager. Would recommend Ash Court.

Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
Thank you for trying to look after my mother during her stay, however, I was wholly disappointed with the care. The staff could benefit from more training in dementia, the crisis of the manager leaving had a great impact on my mother. I live away so care needs to be making sure my mother did not spend
all day in bed, hand washing, getting clean clothes daily, all of these were difficult. My mother enjoyed the food, she enjoyed the garden and you did keep her safe from escaping! But her two-month stay could not end soon enough. Being constructive, training in patience and conflict resolution would help some staff, one or two staff members were excellent. Attention to detail is important, my mother lost items, a strong level of leadership from a good manager may change the ethos to a higher level of care. My mother is now described as amenable, happy and sociable, taking part in activities, in her new care home, not at all 'challenging or aggressive' as you described. I hope your home improves in the near future and wish you well.
Reply from Clare Sheehan, Careline Advisor at Ash Court Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to make a review about the time your Mother was in residence at the care home and for your kind comments about the catering and the gardens. It is with great regret that we were unable to meet the needs of your Mother and your expectations of the care she should receive during her stay with us. We now have a new Home Manager in post and have reviewed your concerns and will be making the required changes to training our staff in dealing with specific behaviours that challenge. We are pleased to hear that your Mother is settled in her new home.

I hadn't seen my very 'old' friend for a very long time as we live so far apart.
I was quite worried about her.
However, she seems very happy and content living in Ash Court.
I was greeted with warmth and made to feel most welcome.

When Mum came into this home, it was another owner but has since been taken over by the new owner. She has noticed a lot of changes, that she does not like.
Staff are overworked and underpaid for what they have to do. Residents are here who should be in a nursing home not residential.
Food has deteriorated
and is served late, my family bring in meals for me. Activities have improved as they employed an activities coordinator.
Reply from Clare Sheehan, Care Advisor at Ash Court Care Home

Thank you for your review, we appreciate all feedback as this helps us improve our service where required. Our meeting regarding your concerns was most helpful and I believe you are happy with the actions agreed and you now understand the reasons for the changes implemented to ensure we continue to provide the level care you have always been able to expect. We also talked about the Residents/relatives meeting held within the home which gives you a chance to be involved in the running of the home and I reminded you of the “have your say” boards which always serve as a useful tool to gain regular feedback.

I have lived here for four and a half years. I feel safe and comfortable. The staff are very good at their roles of caring for me. They understand my needs and my sense of humour.
We have a new chap for activities who is full of plans for the future, at present he is a breath of fresh air!
The majority
of care staff are fabulous.

I came to Ash Court Care Home in February 2016. I came straight from hospital. I was very apprehensive as this was my first care home. However, I found myself feeling quite at home very quickly. The staff were all very caring and kind. The room I have is bright and with many of my own treasures around
me. I am very happy here. The cleanliness of the home is excellent and the entertainment is both mentally and physically stimulating.

My 91-year-old mum has recently moved into Ash Court and I can't praise the staff enough at all levels for the care and attention they have shown to mum. It is quite a move especially at mums age. We have been kept fully informed of everything to do with mums welfare, and she has been included in decision
making herself, keeping her respect and dignity. The facilities are excellent and mum has settled in very quickly, mainly due to the caring staff. Everyone is extremely friendly and nothing is too much trouble at all. There is always someone on hand to take an interest and answer queries. It is a difficult time for relatives when an elderly parent has to move but we have no concerns at all. The Management and staff are a credit to Ash Court and go more than the extra mile. We will be more than happy to recommend Ash Court to everyone.

My mum has been a resident at Ash Court for a year and a half now. Mum chooses to stay in her own room and enjoys her own company, television and time reading. All the staff are very friendly and take time to talk and are always ready to meet all her needs. Mum feels safe, secure and is grateful and
happy to be part of the Ash Court family.

The Deputy Care Home Manager was able to give me much more information than I’d been able to glean from other sources. Being new to ‘care’ I found it a minefield, rather frightening when it came to cost and what help is available, the Deputy Manager re-assured me.


I was shown around Ash Court Care

Home by a lady and her ‘caring’ staff and felt in my mind that my Aunt could make it her home. She is 94 and sadly needs help now. I feel that at Ash Court she is in a caring environment.


My thoughts on ‘care’ are that it takes a special kind of person to do this job. I also think ‘caring’ staff are undervalued. One day we will all be old and in need of a little, maybe a lot of help!

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.363)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.363) out of 10 for Ash Court Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 8 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.611 for Ash Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (81 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 108 Ratings = 4.611
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.752 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Ash Court Care Home is based on 8 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 3.8
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 42 registered maximum number of service users is 8.4. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 8.4 = 0.952
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
