Dad transferred her from another care home last November. I was initially very concerned about him leaving his other care home. I needn't have worried, Dad is treated with such kindness, respect and dignity here at Barchester Ashby House Care Home. He is extremely settled and happy here and the staff
cannot do enough for him. He enjoys the food choices, activities and likes his room (when he can find it!) It is such peace of mind for me to see him contented and making new connections with staff and other residents.

My husband has been in Barchester Ashby House Care Home for a year now. He has been very well looked after by the lovely staff who are always extremely helpful and pleasant, this includes carers, cleaners, reception, office and activities organisers, also nurses and management.
I feel this was the

My husband came into Barchester Ashby House Care Home end of October 2018, he was transferred from another home. He came on six weeks end of life care, he is still with us. He is well looked after always kept clean and he is well fed. The staff are always there if needed and very helpful. My husband
spends time asleep very rarely out of bed. Overall he is well looked after I could not ask for more.

I would like to thank all the staff at Barchester Ashby House Care Home for the fantastic care and support they gave to my nan and my family when she stayed with you following her operation. My nan was very poorly, but she kept saying how kind and lovely all the staff were and they looked after her
until she felt strong enough to come home. We chose Ashby House because my mother-in-law stayed there a couple of years ago, and my nan
is so happy they had space when we needed them in an emergency. Nan will definitely choose to stay again.
The homemade cakes and biscuits are unmatched!

It is dramatic for both resident and partner. A total upheaval. You have to rely on the carers doing what they are supposed to. Forms are filled in, but do they truly represent what is happening. The residents are bored out of their minds - there is not enough interaction with the residents. The residents
are the most important part of daily life, not the forms. Care is good but there needs to be more individual attention. 'Alright dear' is not enough. I visit every day but what about all the other people. Without the residents there is no care home and no job for you. One day we will all get there.

Our sincere thanks to the wonderful staff at Ashby House. I am so pleased that we were able to get Mum into this home.
Whilst the care staff are exceptionally busy, Mum was treated with kindness, care and dignity.
The nursing staff worked collaboratively with our family to keep Mum pain-free and
gave us clear information and advice. In Mum's final days, they gave Mum and our family exceptional care. They kept us fully informed on what was happening and the likely outcomes.
Yesterday, when Mum passed away, they made sure our family had the time needed to say goodbye to Mum and handled the official duties of death efficiently and with the deepest compassion.
The home is very clean. The service user's rooms are well cared for. Food is plentiful. The lounge areas are beautifully decorated. There are activities for those who can participate. Mum enjoyed the coronation meal.
Thank you seems inadequate somehow, but it is genuinely and sincerely given.

Ashby House Care Home, our experience with having our mum here was excellent. The staff is very friendly and caring, this was her home away from home and it was a pleasure having her here. We could always come in and see that she was cared for and happy to be here. She always said she was well fed,
she was well looked after until the very end. The staff and manager have been very supportive, we feel like we are a part of the Barchester family. Well done, thanks a lot. Excellent.

Nursing care. My mother-in-law chose the care home in July 2021. On her visit, she thought the home "was superb". Soon after her admission, the problems started to show, e.g. no hot water since July 21 (she gets washed with cold water to date). Her call bell is continuously out of her reach and staff
have "no idea why" (so how is one supposed to call for help?). The table with her drink is left out of her reach, leaving her dehydrated, shouting her lungs off to attract the attention of staff. Unexplained bruising, property damage, etc. Yet, we're being assured by the manager and regional director that the call bell is "always left within her reach" and staff is "trained".


Despite concerns raised with the staff, management and authorities, there was no improvement in care.


I can't see how anybody can leave a 5-star review for a care home with no running hot water for personal care and staff that admits they "don't have the time" for the resident. At the moment it's dangerous and unsafe. I'd give 0* if available.

My mother has been a resident at Ashby House Care Home for over a year now, and has always been so very well cared for and loved by all of the staff. Her wishes have always been taken into account. I am regularly contacted about everything that happens in the home and they keep me informed about her
wellbeing. Although I cannot visit often staff help me to maintain contacts with mum via skype, which I am so grateful for. Every time I was able to speak to her she was happy and spoke positively about the staff and the activities she'd taken part in, never forgetting to mention delicious cakes which the kitchen bakes. Thank you very much for everything you do.

Mum was admitted to Ashby House after being diagnosed with a terminal illness and we were no longer able to care for her at home. I can honestly say this care home is outstanding. She receives excellent care. The staff work as a team and do everything they can to support my mum. Management is excellent,
very approachable and communicates all the important information on the day. I spoke to my sister who confirmed that we as a family could not find a better place for our mum. Thank you so much!

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.632)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.632) out of 10 for Barchester Ashby House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.632 for Barchester Ashby House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (245 Excellents x 5) + (92 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 353 Ratings = 4.632

  • b) 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 Barchester Ashby House Care Home is based on 29 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 64 registered maximum number of service users is 12.8, which has been reached with 29 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

I love my work as a Nurse at Ashby House. I enjoy speaking with residents and helping them to feel as well as they can. I feel proud to be part of this team where everyone plays their part in making everyday life enjoyable for residents.

Job Title: Housekeeping Assistant

Joined: 2004

Hello, I'm Carol and I joined the Ashby House team in 2004 as a Housekeeping Assistant.


It is really important that I keep the home clean to keep it looking nice and minimise infection risks. It is also important that Ashby House is tidy, attractive and well organised so residents feel comfortable and relaxed.


I get to know every resident, to understand how they like their room, their clothes and their personal belongings to be arranged. I enjoy my morning chats, getting to know residents as I clean their rooms.
