I am so please I moved my dad into Ashbourne Lodge Care Home as I can see he is well cared for. His bedroom is always clean and tidy and very happy with activities as he enjoys his outings on the mini-bus.

Staff were understanding of my needs as the daughter and of my mother's needs. The staff treated mum with respect and tenderness, clearly aware of her needs and habits. Very grateful for the care they are taking of my mum.

I visited this home today looking for a safe and secure home for my mam. I've looked at a few homes but this one seemed very nice a lovely, homely place to be when we visited. We were taken upstairs where a lovely, friendly member of staff was decorating and explained it all about scenery for the dementia
which we found very interesting, what a lovely thing to do for people with dementia. This is the home we would want to look after my mam.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff organised a fabulous 90th garden party for my mother and the queen. They were very attentive to all the residents, making sure they were all able to participate and enjoy the day. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. They included me in all the arrangements which resulted in the creation
of many happy memories for my mam, myself and her family and friends.

Review from Garth R (Son-in-law of Resident) published on 21 March 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother-in-law has settled in well at the care home after a few initial problems, which were to be expected. She has a good relationship with the staff and some of the residents, that she associates with. The fact that she has lived in the Sunderland area for most of her life a positive fact in her
being comfortable in her new surroundings. The home is also fairly close to her family who are able to pay her regular visits and speak to the staff regularly on concerns that they have.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I am happy in the home. I am looked after well and get on well with the staff. I enjoy the meals provided. Often I have health problems, they are quickly dealt with. I enjoy the entertainment provided during the week but would like more trips out.
Reply from HC-One, Careline Team at Ashbourne Lodge Care Home
The home has a Mini Bus which is used on a weekly basis to ensure all residents have a varied choice of outings, our Residents also have a say in what times and where to go.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I chose this care home for my mother for its light airy appearance. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and the nurses available to talk to and down to earth. My mum is well looked after and has settled really well. She enjoys the food and they made her a lovely cake for her 90th Birthday. The
activities are excellent and although she suffers with her memory she loves to join in. Occasionally she ends up in the wrong trousers or top so it would be nice if other residents relatives named their clothes.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.994)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.994) 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 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.994 for Ashbourne Lodge Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (179 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 180 Ratings = 4.994
  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 15 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 15 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.
