I'm really happy with the care from the care staff team at Ashfields for my beloved mother. They are a caring and dedicated team who worked tremendously hard to look after my mum. All their hard work is very much appreciated.

Review from Diana P (Daughter of Resident) published on 22 March 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I would recommend Ashfields to anyone. The home has a stable workforce whose staff are warm, friendly, and professional. The high standards set by the manager are reflected in the excellent level of care that I have witnessed first hand, from the frontline carers to the kitchen staff, cleaning & laundry
staff and maintenance staff. My mother has lived here for a number of years, and I am kept well informed of any changes in her health and wellbeing. This gives great peace of mind and makes visits all the more enjoyable.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Ashfields is really a fabulous residential home, the staff are amazing, they are caring, and hardworking, and they put the residents first, my mother came to stay at Ashfields last October at the age of 97, my mother can be 'difficult' and the staff are gentle and patient with her, they look after her
in the best possible way, and that gives me total peace of mind, the home is warm and clean and there is always tea and biscuits at the ready. When I grow old I would be very happy to spend my golden years at Ashfields care home, Macclesfield.

Current Review Score: 8.4 (8.381)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.4 (8.381) out of 10 for Ashfields is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.4 out of 5 from 2 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 5.000 for Ashfields is calculated as follows: ( (24 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 24 Ratings = 5
  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 3.381 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Ashfields is based on 2 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 = 3.125
    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 39 registered maximum number of service users is 7.8. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 7.8 = 0.256
  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.
