The carers all amazing! Our mum only spent ten days at Ashview but the way we and she were treated was second to none! in her final hours. They were so helpful, kind and loving. They helped us with everything and really made us feel at ease. We would like to thank them all at Ashview from the bottom
of our hearts.

It is so difficult when you realise that it is just impossible for one of your parents to continue living at home but Ashview Nursing Home really softened the blow. The staff are so lovely and the management team are really good and give you confidence that the best care is being given. I cannot praise
all of the team at Ashview Nursing Home highly enough. The food is very good and my mother's room very homely. Thank you so much all of you, we really appreciate everything you have done for my mother.

My Husband has lived at Ashview for some time and if you are looking for a good Residential/Respite home then I would urge you to consider this one. There is a lovely atmosphere the food is good and the carers are professional and above all caring, all led by the excellent hands on Manager. My husband
is happy, comfortable and genuinely cared for. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ashview.

Having to leave a loved one in the care of strangers can be a worrying and stressful time but I have been very pleasantly surprised by the welcome and care shown by the staff at Ashview. My mother has dementia and has been living at Ashview for a few weeks now. The staff have shown how important it
is treat each resident as an individual and to cater for those individual needs and I've enjoyed how some of the staff have struck up a relationship with mum already. There was a party when I was visiting once (complete with pub singer!) and the positive effect it had on the residents was wonderful to watch. The rest of the family have also been very impressed by Ashview so far and we feel a sense of relief that mum is in good hands.

I have nothing but praise for Ashview nursing home,and all the staff.
The manager, and another member of staff went to a lot of effort to accommodate my wife and Ion our short term stay, and all the staff are cheerful and willing to help at all times, day and night.


The food and accommodation is

very good, and there is a large garden area.
I would have no hesitation to returning in the future.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.912)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.912) out of 10 for Ashview Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.912 for Ashview Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (125 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 136 Ratings = 4.912

  • 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 Ashview Nursing Home is based on 12 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 32 registered maximum number of service users is 6.4, which has been reached with 12 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.
