It is reassuring to know that my mom is in the place where she is well looked after. The staff are amazing, welcoming and respectful. Mom is kept clean and she looks happy. One nurse is very friendly and reassuring and excellent. They also have some amazing care staff.

This is the second time my husband has been to Ashmead. He remembered the room from his last visit, also the staff who made him very welcome as they did me. I find the home very clean, the staff are always smiling, cheerful, which is lovely to see. I'm very grateful for the care, and the way they look
after my husband.

Review from Suzanne T (Wife of Resident) published on 28 January 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Unfortunately from May last year, I have had to have my husband placed in Ashmead Care Centre. As a retired nurse myself I found this very difficult as I was also a dementia nurse and believed I was more than capable of his care which proved not to be the case. After 5 years of caring for him at home,
it soon became obvious that the time had come to have him put into a care home, finally, I settled on Ashmead Putney I could never have believed these people who run this home could have been such amazing people. They show empathy for both residents and families, the home is beautifully clean, I have always felt welcomed, I could not have ever asked for more my husband is well cared for their meals are amazing in beautiful dining rooms. The staff are gentle and caring. I'm kept informed of all his care and any issues, they go out of their way to make it feel like home management acts on any issue immediately thank you so much you are amazing.

I would like to thank you for the loving care everyone at Ashmead showed my husband and us his family. There was always an open-door policy and we could come and go as our timetables allowed us. Grandchildren visited with great delight and Gracie our dog was also welcome. This was all a special bonus
for my husband. The staff were always friendly and committed and showed a deep empathy. Considering the challenges of their profession it is truly impressive.
Thank you for looking after my husband during a difficult part of his life.
Best wishes.

Overall experience is good. The staff are caring, friendly and responsive. It feels safe and warm for the residents. However, the rooms and common areas need to be updated, furniture wise and freshened up/decorated. There should be more attention to the healthier food, more vegetable variation. Management
is friendly and approachable.

Mum was at the home for 6 weeks of respite care, I was apprehensive when I first left her.
The place was very clean and the atmosphere calm but still I wondered about how the care would be, but I need not have worried. They took care of Mum kindly, could see she was clean and well taken care of.

My husband was transferred from hospital to Ashmead Care Centre for ongoing care following an allergic reaction to a prescribed drug.
The care received at Ashmead has been wonderful, the nurses, carers and all other staff are so friendly and very helpful. All staff have contributed to my husband's
recovery and I am pleased to say he is now well enough to come home.

Ashmead provides outstanding dementia care with nursing. The staff, regardless of their role within the home, went out of their way to show friendship, kindness and compassion to my dad - even the cleaning staff knew his name and greeted him. On my parent's 6th wedding anniversary, the staff made up
a training room with banners and balloons and served a family meal to us all. I will never forget the kindness shown to us. Thank you all.

Review from Alan B (Son of Resident) published on 6 October 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
My father was admitted to this place in May 2023 for end of life care.
We were met on May 5th by staff including the manager, who said 'we can turn people away for arriving at the wrong time' in full hearing of our terminally ill father who was lying on a stretcher in the entrance to the home.
What
kind of person would say such a thing? Even the ambulance crew were disgusted.
In the 7 weeks our father was there we had minimal contact with the manager. A wholly unsuitable and unfeeling person to be in such a position! Her Deputy was so much more humane and understanding.
She is management material, not the manager!
Best member of staff was a nurse!
On the day my father passed the manager didn't once come to us as a family, despite us sitting with our father from 8am until 4pm, to offer sympathy or condolences. Eight hours! What kind of person does that?
Utterly disgusted!

The service staff are all very commendable and especially two particular nurses. As for general staff, nurses and carers, nurses are mostly caring and friendly - unfortunately, a small few sulky agency are rude or bad understanding of English.
Male staff all good.
Housekeepers and cleaners are all
top-notch.
Front-of-house staff polite and polished.
One lady is nice, in pink, excellent and very kind.
Would recommend My main grip was good, very samey - much better in the hospital.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.372)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.372) out of 10 for Ashmead Care Centre is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 17 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 4.599 for Ashmead Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (157 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (19 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 207 Ratings = 4.599
  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 4.773 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Ashmead Care Centre is based on 17 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 110 registered maximum number of service users is 22. 17 Positive Reviews ÷ 22 = 0.773
  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.
