Review from S D (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 4 March 2021 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Care home manager and team; I would like to say as a clinician myself I am fully aware of the litigation involved with safeguarding vulnerable adults. From my first meeting with the manager, under stressful family pressures, she put my and my family's minds at ease. Traditionally and statistically British
Indian/Asians do not admit family members to care homes due to fears of poor care. The manager and her team addressed our fears, comforted and reassured us like no one else in the industry has been able to. A gold standard care home. The team are angels and I can't thank them enough.

My mother-in-law was a resident at Ashbourne Lodge for three and a half years. Sadly she passed away at the end of November 20. In her time at the home, she always received excellent care. Also, the members of staff provided a genuine interest in her well-being throughout her stay and made sure she
was well looked after, with this in mind I would recommend Ashbourne Lodge to anybody who was looking for a care home for friends or family.

I am very pleased with the care I receive at Ashbourne Lodge. The staff and management work very hard to look after us and to keep us happy. Coronavirus lockdown has been a trial, we have had every attention and followed all the rules, hopefully it will soon end and we will all be back to normal. Best
wishes to the manager and all the lovely staff.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.995)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.995) out of 10 for Ashbourne Lodge Care Home 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 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 4.995 for Ashbourne Lodge Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (191 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 192 Ratings = 4.995
  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 Ashbourne Lodge Care Home is based on 16 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 16 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.
