The Review Score of 9.9 (maximum of 10) for Ascot House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 44 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Ascot House in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5 out of 5 from 25 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 4.871 for Ascot House is calculated as follows: ( (461 Excellents x 5) + (62 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 526 Ratings = 4.871
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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Ascot House is based on 25 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4
Target of 8 positive Reviews (40 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 25 Reviews ÷ 8 Target Reached = 1
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
Ascot House has a Review Score of 9.9 (9.871) from 44 Reviews

Mum moved into Ascot House at the beginning of 2018 and I have been extremely happy with the standard of care and support that she received. She recently celebrated her 90th birthday and the manager and all the staff made it a day to remember for all that attended.

My mum has been in Ascot House for nearly 2 years. If it was not for the love and care they give mum she wouldn't have been here now. They insisted that a doctor would come and see mum. Mum had an infection and was really poorly. They really look after them.

My mother went into the care home because she wasn't safe to be alone with all the falls she was having. All the staff and manager at the care home has been very helpful, they have done everything they can to help my mum. Now she is able to live on her own again. I and my family are very happy with the care home. They have all been fantastic. We are very very grateful we couldn't have asked for any more from the care home they have done their very best.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Elizabeth S (Daughter of Resident) on Tuesday 8 August 2017. Relates to July 2017.
My mother has been in three care homes and I was happy with all of them. I would say Ascot House has been 'outstanding'. My mother has settled well and stopped wondering. The managers and staff are very well trained and have a profound understanding of her dementia. I have been able to stop worrying about her and give my attention to other members of my family and work. I would thoroughly recommend Ascot House.

I would just like to thank the management and all the staff at Ascot House for looking after my dad for the last two years and two months. He enjoyed living there and the care they gave him was excellent and they couldn't have looked after him any better. From the cook to the cleaner, the laundry staff, carers and management. I would definitely recommend Ascot House to anyone to look after their loved ones. A big thank you again.

I came roughly for 6 months for rehabilitation and until suitable sheltered accommodation was available. I am now moving to independent living after being supported and encouraged by staff, outside agencies and family. I found the staff supportive and through this I was able to live a full and active life as physical needs allowed and how I chose.

I initially came for a couple of weeks for respite but felt comfortable and safe and part of an extended family. I had all my needs met in a way I chose. I stayed for almost four months and now returning home. If I need support again, I will most definitely return if they have a bed vacancy.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Ann C (Daughter of Resident) on Friday 13 January 2017. Relates to January 2017.
My Dad has been a resident at Ascot House for the past 7 months. All the staff have treated my Dad very caringly and have adapted to his ways, treating him as an individual and with dignity. They have made sure he is safe and secure as in the early days we were worried he would go out and get lost. I have had several meals at Ascot House with my Dad so I know the meals are well prepared and of good quality. Cleaning and laundry are done to a high standard and carpets are shampooed on a regular basis. My Dad likes to spend most of his time in his room watching TV, so the staff do regular checks on him and take him cups of tea and biscuits. The Manager and the deputy Manage have been very approachable and have responded positively to any suggestions to help Dad to settle in. My Dad has a lovely room and believes he is in his own flat and he is very content. I cannot thank the manager and all the staff enough for all they have done to support my Dad.

After living independently mum, aged 100 suffered a fall after decreased mobility. Mum entered Ascot House for emergency respite care and is still there. Of course, she was upset for the first day or two but after a few days of excellent care, she is now very settled. All the staff are very friendly and caring. Mum likes that they make time to pop and have a chat. It also gives me peace of mind that mum is being well looked after and is in safe hands.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Susan W (Daughter of Resident) on Thursday 5 January 2017. Relates to December 2016.
My Mum who is 94 has been a resident for almost 3 years. Before going into care I researched several homes in my area and Ascot House being a small, more intimate home, I knew she would be comfortable and happy there. The manager and staff are efficient and caring and they make the home as much as a home from home as possible. There are so many activities and trips out as can be arranged which helps to stimulate the residents. The staff spend time talking on a one to one basis to those who may be distressed due to memory problems. I personally cannot praise their overall care enough.

Since my Mum had to be put into care in May of this year, I have not seen her so happy for the last 3 years, the staff love her to bits as she has developed a comical personality. I don't think I would have seen this side to my Mum if she hadn't gone to Ascot House. They keep us in the loop and make us so welcome when myself and my Dad go to spend time with her. The staff are absolutely brilliant with every aspect of caring for my Mum and I would highly recommend.

I am very satisfied with my mother's care in Ascot House. She has been a resident for 3 years and is happy and feels safe. She is treated as an individual, for example, every morning she chooses her own clothes and jewellery to wear. You always worry when you can't be there all the time but I can honestly say I have never heard a carer be rude or impatient with a resident. When a resident is confused or disinterested they deal with the situation in a caring and dignified manner. On the rare occasion, I have had an issue with an aspect of my mother's care, it is dealt wit promptly. There is openness and inclusion of residents and relatives in the decision about care. Based on mine and my mother's experience I have no hesitation in recommending Ascot House to others.

My experience with Ascot House has been fantastic. I can go and see my wife anytime I want. The manager has a good relationship with her staff who are just brilliant with the residents. Some of the staff are quite young but take it all in their stride letting the residents carry on taking their time.

My husband is at Ascot House and I am very happy with the care he gets. Nothing is too much trouble for them and they find time to talk to him even though he has dementia and he doesn't say a lot.

On my visit first on the list of other homes found to be friendly, welcoming, caring team of professional carers managed by a lady who is dedicated to her job. All the staff give residents 110% including genuine affection to all, after a positive viewing, in my opinion, I would not have found anywhere better, therefore did not view any other homes. Mum just had a two-week stay visits daily by my father and I. As you would expect we were worried but been not have been mum loved the place.
This home needs to be re-categorised to Ascot Hotel a big big thank you, to the management and staff.

When we visit dad the home is always clean, warm and welcoming. The staff display an obvious love of their work and nothing is any trouble. The care given to dad is second to none, his welfare is obviously the number one priority. The management is a wonderful person with precisely the right attitude and methods and this rubs off on the staff. We are confident that dad could not be in a better place, the care he receives is absolutely first class and much appreciated by dad and all of us. Well done!

I find Ascot House a lovely place. The staff are all very kind and friendly. My dad is very happy there and well looked after. The food is lovely and my dad looks forward to his meals.
All rooms are clean and spacious. My dad's health has improved since staying there. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Annette L (Wife of Resident) on Thursday 10 November 2016. Relates to July 2016.
After being diagnosed with dementia in 2009 my husband had day care, respite care followed by full residency at Ascot House. My husband passed away in August 2016 but all the time he spent at Ascot House was very rewarding. He was always treated with respect, even though his behaviour could sometimes be challenging. The standard of care was always excellent, family, friends always made welcome whenever we visited, never were we made to feel in the way. The events and entertainment always enjoyable. What could have been a very traumatic time was made a little easier by the wonderful staff. Thank you Ascot House care home you really do care.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Wendy C (Daughter of Resident) on Wednesday 28 September 2016. Relates to September 2016.
My mother, 92, has dementia, is registered blind and deaf. Despite these disabilities, the staff at Ascot House manage to help her achieve a good deal of independence and when personal care is given, it is with dignity and respect. Since being in the home she has been happy and settled. When I visit she looks calm, clean and tidy and well fed. She enjoys the social activities although she can only participate in a limited way. It was a difficult decision to admit my mother to a care home but it has enhanced both my mother's life and mine, as I no longer need to worry about her safety and loneliness.

This is the third home I have placed my mum in because of different things I've not been happy with. My mum has been at Ascot House for 4 years in September and I am very happy with the care she is given, no one else could give her the care that Ascot House gives. The staff are very pleasant and nothing is any trouble, you only have to ask. The management do a very good job at running the home. I could not ask for a better place for my mum.
