Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have been visiting my mother in law at Ashbrook Court for the past 10 years. There have been changes in that time but all for the better. It has always been spotlessly clean and the staff are all very caring and helpful. Visiting is never restricted to certain times and I visit at all different times
and on different days but whenever I’m there I feel welcome. My mother in law is always clean, comfortable and well looked after.

The care which we have received has been amazing. It can be quite frightening for both family members at the time, but the staff make it very easy and relax both members. You can call anytime, either visit or telephone and you always have very friendly staff. Thank you to everyone, you do the most amazing
job.

The staff are always helpful and polite. They are patient and kind when dealing with residents. The staff are always busy and sometimes I think they are short staffed. The home is clean with no unpleasant smells.
The residents enjoy the activities and I join in when visits concur.

From the very first interview, I was impressed with how this home was run. I never worry about my dad. I know he is looked after properly, his room is clean and tidy and I pop in at crazy times and have always been happy with his care.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My experience has been extremely positive so far. My mother is a quiet and shy person with a very gentle nature and the transition from hospital to the placement was incredibly difficult for her to process. However, the staff have been incredibly warm and supportive kind and engaging. Therefore, she
has settled well and it's clear that she is happy, hence our family are happy. A wonderful warm place.

I have visited regularly over the last 2 years and what a difference there has been in the last year. The home is clean and there are new places for residents to enjoy, there is a lovely atmosphere, staff smiling and laughing and the food is lovely. Nothing is too much trouble and when I had a question
the Manager took time to explain and give me information.

My mum has only been here a short while but the difference in her is amazing. In hospital, she was always lying down, since her arrival, she is sitting upright in a chair, dressed and able to hold a conversation. None of which she has been doing for several months.
She seems happy and already settled.

My father has recently moved to Ashbrook Court. All the staff we have met have been very approachable and readily available. They have always dealt with my father is a sensitive and caring manner. The home is generally a cheerful place although at times has been a little unsettled by unpredictable
behaviour from other residents, however, staff have been observed managing this appropriately.

Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
Was good until the new manager came along. Clothes going missing super regular at times my dad had no briefs on, dirty stained brief left in the bedside drawer, dirty clothes left on the floor. I spoke to the manager who totally disregarded my concerns, sarcastic remarks and tried to hang up the phone
on me. I can't keep buying clothes she replied, social does not me. Rude and nothing to do with his clothes going missing. And my dad pays for his own clothes I buy them, went care home same day to take briefs the manager saw me on entrance gave me a dirty look. Other family members were also making complaints went up to see my dad. I was speaking to another member of staff about my concern the manager appears and calls the staff member away from me. Staff try but the manager doesn't support them. Weekly trips but only 2 in 1 yr. Bad bad management worst I've seen. The staff say they are sick of how things are some say they're leaving some say they need support from families to challenge management I'm now trying to get my dad moved.

My mum moved into Ashbrook Court Care Home in October 2017. She was extremely agitated and unhappy. She is now settled and jolly.
This must be because the staff have worked extremely hard to ensure this happens. I am confident that if I am concerned about anything the management will sort it quickly.

Review from Syra (Daughter of Resident) published on 30 January 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum was referred to Ashbrook Court Care Home for nursing care. I was impressed with the room, its cleanliness and the standard of care provided by Ashbrook. As I visited my mum quite a bit in her short time there I could see the care and attention she received was of a high standard, with the staff
showing real compassion and professionalism. This was such a weight and off my mind, as my mum was very ill and sadly passed away - but the team at Ashbrook worked to make sure she was comfortable at all times and ensured her dignity in her final days.


I would like to thank the team who provided my mum and me with incredible support at this difficult time.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.570)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.570) out of 10 for Ashbrook Court Care Home 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 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.570 for Ashbrook Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (171 Excellents x 5) + (73 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (8 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 258 Ratings = 4.57
  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 Court Care Home is based on 21 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 21 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.
