Our mam went into the care home in August and she is really happy there (despite not wanting to leave her bungalow) The staff are absolutely lovely to her, her clothes are washed and ironed every day, the meals are cooked on the premises and mam says she enjoys them all. There seems to be some activity
going on every day, we have had Elvis and Al Johnson entertaining the residents. I would wholeheartedly recommend this care home to anyone.

Reply from Vicki Jones, Care home manager at Ashlea Mews Care Home

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

My Mother has been a resident in Ashlea Mews for almost five years. From the very first day, the staff welcomed her and made her comfortable and kept us, the family informed on how she was settling in. Over the last five years we have built up a wonderful relationship with the staff and this has had
a positive impact on my Mam. They know when she's feeling low, unwell or just needs a little chat or hug to perk her up. We have witnessed how the staff treat the rest of the residents and I can say they treat them like they would their own family. The staff give more than 100% of their time. They regularly turn up on their own time and help out at Summer fetes, open days and resident parties. They work extremely hard and sometimes in very difficult circumstances, having to deal with Dementia, or when a resident passes away. The Manager and staff are always approachable and deal with any concerns immediately. We as a family always recommend the home to other people, and so far we have had two friends who have had parents living in Ashlea Mews, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them in the future.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.758)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.758) out of 10 for Ashlea Mews Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.758 for Ashlea Mews Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (138 Excellents x 5) + (37 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 178 Ratings = 4.758

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Ashlea Mews Care Home is based on 15 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 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 15 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.
