Ashbrook Nursing Home was clean, professional and knowledgeable. I found the staff very helpful and friendly. All staff that I spoke to were kind and informative, especially when my uncle passed away and helped to make it a non-stressful experience. Many thanks to the team for allowing him to pass with
dignity.

Review from Sue J (Daughter of Resident) published on 2 February 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Mum passed away last week. I am so so grateful to Sister and her staff on Cedar Unit. My Mum was well looked after. Always looked neat and tidy and happy, despite her dementia. All nurses and carers were friendly, caring and considerate. Mum only went to the care home in November and we were reluctant
to put her in as you hear terrible stories of care homes. My brothers had done an amazing job of looking after her before that but it became too much for them. If we had known how good Ashbrook was going to be we would have been happy for her to go in earlier. I cannot thank the staff enough for all that you did to make my Mum's last days comfortable and all the support you gave to me and my family.

Review from Justin C (Son of Resident) published on 17 January 2023 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Absolutely brilliant home for my father. The staff are amazing and so are the many activities that are offered. He is prone to getting UTIs and we have had to report that he has been unwell on three separate occasions, instead of his 1:1 carer noticing this. We have asked the duty nurse that a litmus
test on his urine is done weekly to find if any infections have been found so that treatment can be given before the infection gets too bad. Communication from Ashbrooks can be improved (ie: changes to medication). We would like to have regular carers who know my father to provide 1:1 care, rather than new staff or bank staff. Overall we are very happy with the care given to him and the support given to us, his family. Thank you for everything you do at Ashbrooks.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After leaving hospital (under the Discharge to Assess framework), my husband has been at Ashbrook about three weeks at the time of writing this review. We have visited almost every day. Ashbrook is a modern care home, and so far seems clean, secure and well-managed. The management have been helpful
when I had questions about his care. I appreciate that the staff have been kind in caring for my husband, even though his dementia and delirium mean he vigorously resists the personal care he needs.

I am very pleased to see my husband so settled in the home. He says it is like being in a hotel. He is happy that his social needs are being met. The staff are polite and caring. The food seems to be of good quality and the rooms are regularly cleaned. There are plenty of activities.

Fantastic, clean, friendly care home! I think it's brilliant animals welcome as communal pets. Staff do well attending to needs of residents. Maybe at meal times the residents need some form of clothing protection for dropped foods.

When mum first came in both my brother and I were well imnpressed. Since then we couldn't ask for better care. Both nurses and carers are first class. If tere is ever a problem this is sorted out immediately. There is only one thing Mum is missing the most and that is chips. She loved her fish and chips.

I would totally recommend this care home to friends etc. Staff work very hard. Management listens to your opinions and views. Nurses are very good - I have had a few unhappy situations with one particular nurse but have informed management. Extremely clean - cleaners are excellent.

It is a difficult situation when an elderly parent needs additional care. Thank god we found Ashbrook and Cedar Unit in particular. The staff and management have helped us through this difficult period. My mother is now very happy, comfortable and extremely well cared for. A huge thank you to the fabulous
team on the Cedar Unit.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.419)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.419) out of 10 for Ashbrook Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 59 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 56 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 4.419 for Ashbrook Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (386 Excellents x 5) + (233 Goods x 4) + (61 Satisfactorys x 3) + (8 Poors x 2) + (6 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 694 Ratings = 4.419
  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 Ashbrook Nursing Home is based on 56 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 70 registered maximum number of service users is 14, which has been reached with 56 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.
