I visit my sister regularly and am kept informed by the staff by phone if necessary. She is hard of hearing and confused but well looked after and with a good appetite. During the 3 years of her stay many improvements have been made to the home, especially with regard to entertainment, activities and
decorating. I am confident that she is safe and warm.

This is a lovely small care home and just what we were looking for, for mum. The staff really genuinely care for the clients and everyone is treated with dignity. The food always smells great and I often wish I was staying for dinner.
The only negative is the property and grounds could benefit from
the owners spending a little more money on them.
We would not fail to recommend this home to friends and family.

My Mother-in-Law was a resident of Ash Cottage and we would like to say a big thank you to all the staff who looked after her. They care about the residents in the home and spend time talking to them, making them feel like they still matter. It was for that reason we picked Ash Cottage. In the time
my Mother-in-Law was there she was treated with kindness which to us was very important.
The staff are always on hand to talk to if you have any concerns and will always take time to explain anything you want to know. Thanks again to everyone at the home for looking after my Mother-in-Law so well in the time she spent there.

My Grandmother moved here a few months ago after she had become very unwell. It was a very worrying time but the staff were very kind and patient and helped her to settle in. They took the time to reassure my Grandmother as well as myself and I felt confident leaving her in their care. I visited her
a couple of months after her arrival and could see such a big improvement in her overall physical and mental health. She had even formed a strong bond with a couple of the staff members which was lovely to see. The residents are provided with hot, home-cooked familiar meals each day as well as regular cups of tea, which is a real home comfort.
I am happy with how my Grandmother has settled in and feel reassured that she is well looked after.

The staff are very caring and friendly making all the residents feel at home. The food is tasty and just like my Mum is used to eating at home. In the 6 weeks that my Mother has been a resident, she has made a remarkable turnaround in her health and general well-being. For someone who we did not think
would ever settle in a home, she has settled brilliantly. She has been prompted to be more sociable and has responded beyond my wildest hopes. The décor and building are being refurbished. I can not recommend this home enough for the way it has helped my mother.

My mother stays regularly at Ash Cottage for respite, ranging from weekends to two weeks holiday stays. She always receives excellent care and is very happy there. Mum has been in many homes for respite stays over the last four years and Ash Cottage is simply the best. The staff are caring and very
attentive and always do everything they can to help. Meals are excellent and making mum something different to everyone else is never too much trouble. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Current Review Score: 7.6 (7.625)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 7.6 (7.625) out of 10 for Ash Cottage is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.2 out of 5 from 1 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.417 for Ash Cottage is calculated as follows: ( (5 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 4.417

  • b) 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 3.208 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Ash Cottage is based on 1 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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 = 3

    • ii) 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 24 registered maximum number of service users is 4.8. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 4.8 = 0.208

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
