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.

Food, room, and care - excellent.
Contact from outside to the required floor could be better - but with the new receptionist (very nice on the phone) this has improved.
A member of staff in particular on Cedar has been very informative as my friend is at end-of-life.

Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
My father was transferred to Ashbrook after a long stay in hospital. After initial concerns I spoke with management who took notice and acted immediately. This gave me more peace of mind and my father seemed more content. I have found staff on the Beech Unit to be kind, courteous, and compassionate.
A pleasant, friendly welcome helped me to accept the situation of my elderly father. Daily activities are entertaining and fun which is wonderful to see and greatly appreciated.

Mum transferred here from hospital. The treatment she has sustained there is appalling, in the process of moving mum as soon as possible. Been reported to safeguarding.

Thank you for your review and I am sorry that your experience was not a positive one. We work transparently with the safeguarding team and endeavour to learn from any omissions we make.

Review from Jane S (Daughter of Resident) published on 10 August 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
Please do not let your loved one be discharged by the hospital to Ashbrook Nursing Home, Cedar Level 2 ward. Sadly for a non-dementia patient, this ward is totally inappropriate. A catalogue of errors, including giving the wrong medication have occurred in just 36 hours. Safeguarding was raised and
a CQC investigation is underway.
You have a voice! You need to be that voice for your loved one when they are in need.
Don't let the hospital tell you it has to be Ashbrook - we didn't realise that - look up NHS approved discharge homes and tell the hospital you prefer whichever one it is ..... discuss it with them, don't just accept. We didn't know and so regret the upset and stress our Mum has been through.
We're moving her ourselves, at our own cost, to somewhere which we hope is safe, secure, and above all caring of their residents.
Good luck, it's a minefield!

Thank you for your review and I am sorry that your experience has not been good at Ashbrook. We welcome any investigation by CQC and the safeguarding team.

Overall I am happy with the care home and staff who look after Mum. If there is an issue, it gets rectified. Cleaning staff are also very friendly to residents. Not so sure about laundry - clothes are washed at high temperatures, therefore shrinking. I have to buy clothes regularly.

Sadly our Mum was only in residence for around 6 weeks after suffering a stroke in January. However, the staff we encountered were extremely caring and helpful. They really seemed to have her best interests at heart, as if she was one of their own family. They really tried their best to encourage Mum,
but she had sadly given up the fight.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.395)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.395) 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 48 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 44 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 4.395 for Ashbrook Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (308 Excellents x 5) + (182 Goods x 4) + (57 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Poors x 2) + (6 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 559 Ratings = 4.395
  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 44 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 44 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.
