Review from Tracey S (Daughter of Resident) published on 20 April 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
Not a good home for your loved ones. In my opinion, they lack the skilled carers for critical care and the care plan put in place by the hospital for my father was not followed correctly. Unfortunately, my father died within 10 days following admission. He was left in his chair for 6 hours without being
position changed, visualised or continence needs not always met. There was no intervention from the SALT team as requested. Unit 2 is highly understaffed. On arriving the day he died, I found him unsupported in the bed and in a very unkempt state shivering in urine. I had to alert them to urgently tend to him. He died 4 hours later. They showed no empathy. We are all thoroughly disgusted and heartbroken. His death came 2 days before his 60th wedding anniversary. Do not allow this to happen to your family members.

The staff at the care home are very caring. The receptionist is excellent at her job. It's a shame that covid happened and the residents had to endure being separated from their loved ones.

My experience of the home has been excellent. The staff are attentive and caring, always happy to be around to help and support my elderly father. During covid-19 times they have been very understanding and helpful to the family to enable access when possible. Very pleased with the home in every aspect.

My father was discharged from hospital and into Ashbrook on 4th November. He has been made to feel comfortable and has been allocated a pleasant room. All staff that I have encountered have been friendly, helpful, and professional. I have always been able to get answers to my questions and staff have
time to listen.

When my wife was fast tracked to Ashbrook from the hospital we were told it would only for a few weeks before she died. Three years later that time came. I put it down to the care my wife received while at the home. I also appreciated the care I received from the staff when visiting my wife every day.
I would like to thank all the staff on Beech Floor.

My mum was placed in Ashbrook after a spell in the hospital. I couldn't have picked a nicer home myself. All the staff are very kind and thoughtful; nothing is too much trouble. When visiting Mum, I always feel very welcome. Mum's wellbeing has increased immensely; she's made some nice friends and is
enjoying life.

Review from J K (Nephew of Resident) published on 15 July 2021 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Due to Covid-19, my visits to Ashbrook stopped on 5 March 2020 (except three garden and one pod visit, not inside the unit). My aunt has been moved to a new room on a different floor, where after a Covid test and wearing PPE, I have been escorted directly to and from her room, for my May and June visit.
I have not viewed the rest of the unit since March 2020 and for example, have never seen the lounge on this floor. I am therefore unable to give any meaningful appraisal of the unit at this time. As a guide, I have completed the boxes, which relates to the period between March 2020 - the value for money options has not been completed as I ain't involved or have any knowledge of funding my aunt's care.

I arrived at the nursing home at the appointed time and the receptionist was waiting for us. She was polite and helpful. We were taken up to where my brother's room was. The room was clean, bright, well maintained. All the staff were friendly and appeared caring, the staff knew we had travelled a long
distance and instantly offered us refreshments. My brother was brought to his room from the lounge, and the staff were obviously looking after him and keeping him happy - all in all I am very impressed with his care.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I have only visited a few times but on the occasions I have, my grandparent has been dealt with care and compassion. However, the biggest positive I have witnessed is the time and effort the staff put into looking after my other grandparent who comes to visit every day. I cannot thank the staff enough
for all they do to look after both the physical wellbeing of my resident grandparent and the emotional wellbeing of my non-resident grandparent.

My mother was dying when she was fast-tracked to the home and over two years later she is still with us! Of course, no home is going to score 100% but from my own experience, I have been happy with my mother's care.

The home has done everything that they can to keep residents safe during the pandemic. They have tried hard when possible to let family in to see residents but have also followed the guidance to the letter too. It has been a hard decision for them to make I am sure, but families have been kept up to
date with Facebook videos and Facetime calls. Thank you for all you are doing.

My dad was with the care home for 3 weeks. He was very well looked after and the staff very caring and understanding. They looked after him until the end.
Much praise indeed. A very good care home, would recommend.

They were very caring and considerate of his and our needs. He was living on Beech Unit and the care he received was excellent as was his room. When he was close to the end they allowed us to spend precious time with him and were amazing. When he passed it was a great comfort to know he wasn’t alone
and the people there cared about him. Thank you.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My sister was sent to the Ashbrook nursing home straight from the hospital. It was the 1st time anyone from our family had needed to go into a home so we were a bit dubious. But when we saw the home and staff to say we were pleased wouldn't do it justice. The home is spotless and very well maintained,
and the staff, right from the cleaners to the nursing staff are very caring and patient with residents and families! No matter what time we called or visited they were always ready to help and give words of comfort. And they treated the patients as though they were their own family, no one can ask more from someone than that. My whole family would like to give our thanks blessings for all the staff at Ashbrook Nursing Home.

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.
