The home is an excellent place for my father-in-law. The staff are very attentive to his needs and wants. The surroundings are very homely and comfortable. The food is of a high standard and plenty of it. The home is kept to a high standard of cleanliness. The management is very understanding and responsive
to any requests we may have.

In my view, since my Mum moved into Ascot House there has been a vast improvement with a very positive response to my Mum's circumstances. Mum now has company with other residents but also excellent care 24 hours. The staff are all very friendly and helpful with nothing too much of a problem. Mum is
eating and receiving medication when needed, which wasn't always possible when living alone. I would recommend Ascot House as an excellent choice.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My dad had been a resident of Ascot House for over a year, Dad arrived at Ascot House with Dementia. This was a difficult time for myself and my family we were reassured all the way by the staff and soon could see that this was the best for Dad and the family, we took Dad out for days, we got quality
time to spend with Dad and when we left we knew he was safe, happy, well fed and cared for. Dad was a proud man and respectful of all the staff, he was treated with dignity and respect all the way, they really cared, I mean truly cared and nothing was too much trouble. The staff were there for us too we were involved in every stage of the dreadful progression of Alzheimer's, with help from the manager, assistant managers, carers and family all working together gave Dad and us, happy times and good memories. Dad enjoyed a sing-along and dance at the parties/entertainment that was provided. Sadly Dad passed away, we are grateful to all the staff who played a part in Dad's life at Ascot and for the privacy that was given. Thank you.

Review from Steve B (Next of Kin) published on 15 January 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
During my mother's stay at Ascot House the only word I can use is amazing - all the staff were very accommodating for my mum and the manageress was always understanding and obliging, she always went the extra mile, she gave the opinion it was more than a job, she treated my mum like she was her own
mum. I used to enjoy visiting my mum not only to see my mum but to see all the staff, so this has created a void in my routine. When I was looking for a care home for my mum, I rang on a Sunday night and out of five care homes, only one answered the phone and that one was Ascot House. My mum's final years were definitely good ones with the care she received from everyone at Ascot House.
Reply from Anil, Head Office at Ascot House

Thank you for your review. We'll pass on your kind words to the manager and her team. It's heartwarming to know how pleased you are with the care your mum received at Ascot House and that her final years were definitely good ones. It was a privilege to look after such a wonderful woman.

The manager and the staff at Ascot House went above and beyond to help us make memories with Dad and all of the family this Christmas.
We didn't think we would be able to celebrate with Dad this year as his condition has deteriorated, so we were no longer able to take him out of the home. We were able
to hold a party for Dad at Ascot House in the conservatory, which the staff made sure was decorated and Christmas music was playing. They arranged for a wonderful buffet which we all enjoyed.
Dad had a big smile on his face having a party with his Grandkids, children and his brother. We all had a wonderful time.
Thank you.

After such a bad experience with three care homes, we found a lovely home for my dad, which is Ascot House. We found everything we needed with the support, love and care given to my dad from the manager and staff. Can't thank them enough for all they have done.

To phone my mother-in-law who was staying for respite whilst we were over 5000 miles away, to hear her say she was having the best holiday ever at Ascot House was fabulous! My mother-in-law is already planning her next stay. We couldn't have asked for better care. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Ascot House took care of my mum in August and September of this year 2024.
I can tell you from my heart that although Mum could be very difficult, the staff cared for my mum in a caring and compassionate manner.
The staff at Ascot House are led by an amazing team! Thank you!

All the team at Ascot House have been amazing! My mum has been in the home for 3 days for the first time and the manager greeted her like one of the family. The manager has kept us informed at all times and supported us as a family throughout. As a family, we couldn't have wished for better care for
our mum.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My wife asked me to find somewhere safe for her after living in a riser chair in our kitchen with a commode due to mobility issues. I looked round a number of homes but decided on Ascot due to being impressed with the manager and staff and also it being easily reached. It is not a decision I regret.
I visit my wife virtually every day and I enjoy them as stress has gone, she is safe, well-fed, well looked after and we can sit and talk as the tension between us has gone. I have no complaints at all. Thank you.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.856)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.856) out of 10 for Ascot House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 31 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 31 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 4.856 for Ascot House is calculated as follows: ( (316 Excellents x 5) + (51 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 368 Ratings = 4.856
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Ascot House is based on 31 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 31 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
