Review from Gina B (Daughter of Resident) published on 23 December 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My Dad has been in the care of the wonderful staff at Ashley Gardens for 15 months, the staff got to know him and his ways very quickly. During this very difficult time of lockdown they have become one big family and have cared for my Dad and due to some very difficult family circumstances have supported
my Mum with unlimited patience, understanding and unconditional care. Nothing is too much trouble, the staff gave my Mum and Dad a social distancing 55th wedding anniversary dinner to remember. During the lockdown, the staff ensured that we were able to keep in touch with Dad by face time calls and they sent a lovely video of all the residents on Dad's suite. The manager has kept us informed of any covid related changes by zoom meetings and newsletters. I have been very happy with the care and support the staff have provided for both my Dad and our family. Thank you.
Reply from Jo Mazza, Manager at Ashley Gardens Care Centre

Thank you, Gina, for leaving such a lovely review of Ashley Gardens. It is a pleasure to care for Dad, and his sense of humour always keeps us smiling. I will share your lovely feedback with the team and look forward to some normality for our visiting in 2021.

Management and staff are committed to providing the best possible care in what has been the most challenging times. We have confidence that Mum's needs are now fully met, and she is well cared for. We can't wait to be able to visit properly, but until such time, the Care Home has done everything they
can to keep communication flowing. If there are any issues or concerns, you know they can be raised and will be responded to promptly and professionally. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
Reply from Jo Mazza, Manager at Ashley Gardens Care Centre

Thank you so much, Dawn, for taking the time to leave Ashley Gardens such a lovely review. It is an absolute pleasure caring for Mum, and we really miss seeing you all properly. I can't wait for things to return to normal. I will share your lovely feedback with the staff team.

Review from Brenda F (Daughter of Resident) published on 10 December 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Sadly, since Covid 19 restrictions, I have not had a lot of face to face with my dad, however, the home were very quick to erect 'the pod' and/or devise other ways for me/family to communicate with him. The staff have been excellent in enabling phone calls and/or facetime and recently these have been
more successful as staff seem more familiar with the technology to support Dad in talking with us. At these times Dad looks well and staff seem to have a positive rapport with him (and his humour!).
Any communication I have had with staff has always been very helpful and they seem genuinely keen to ensure Dad is well looked after and remains in touch with us (albeit via phone calls).
The manager, as always, remains alert to any issues that may arise and keeps us informed of any updates concerning Covid or otherwise.
A huge thank you to all - I hope you know how much you are appreciated.
Reply from Jo Mazza, Manager at Ashley Gardens Care Centre

Thank you so much, Brenda, for taking the time to leave Ashley Gardens such a lovely review. I am so glad we have been able to maintain contact for you all with Dad and appreciate your participation in the zoom meetings. Your ongoing support and understanding have been so important to us during 2020 and your positivity keeps us all going. I will of course share your amazing feedback with the team and thank you again.

My dear mum-in-law, 96, has been cared for at Ashley Gardens for almost three years now. Up until lockdown, we would regularly visit her without having made an appointment. She was always looking clean and cared for. The staff were always lovely. Mum was comfortable and very happy. The food was of the
very highest quality. The kitchen staff are brilliant! This care home is like a big family! Any problems are dealt with immediately by the manager. This lady really does have her finger on all the buttons. The Zoom meetings all through lockdown have been so helpful. Cracking staff. One big family for our loved ones!
Lovely people. I cannot fault this home. Love them all.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My wife was in your care for just over 3 months. Although they were her last 3 months she seemed to be in good spirits and content. Her passing was peaceful and I was well supported at the end.
Due to Covid restrictions, it was not possible to go into the building and communications with the staff
suffered consequently. I felt very isolated in the first few weeks and very out of touch.
Reply from Jo Mazza, Manager at Ashley Gardens Care Centre

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave Ashley Gardens a 5-star review. I am so sorry that we didn't meet your needs in terms of communication at the start of the placement however I know we did discuss this and we now have put measures in place to improve our communication during these challenging times to ensure family members don't feel isolated when their loved one is first with us. We do miss your lovely wife and think of you both often. Best wishes, Jo.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We were very worried about our aunt going into a care home, but we need not have worried. Why? Because she went into Ashley Gardens Care Centre in Maidstone and they took the VERY greatest care of her. All the staff were very friendly and welcoming, they answered all our questions and they kept us informed
of any changes to her health straight away. She could be a very difficult lady but they always treated her with kindness, caring, patience and a sense of humour! We never had a minute’s worry about her whilst she was there and we are very grateful for all their help. Thank you, Ashley Gardens.

Many Thanks Robert for taking the time to leave us such a lovely review. Myself and the team are so appreciative of such lovely feedback and I will share this with the team. Your Aunt was an absolute character and we all miss her greatly - She did love her tea and plate of biscuits and would always say yes and give such a lovely smile if I offered this to her.

My sister who has dementia came to Ashley Gardens Care Centre October 2019 after suffering a stroke, at first we thought she was on a downward spiral, but due to the care she has been receiving, there has been a great improvement in her condition for the better. At first, we had to try to persuade her
to eat, but on our last visits ( pre Covid 19) she was feeding herself, enjoying her food and gaining weight. We look forward to being able to visit again.

As I live a great distance from the home, especially in these uncertain times. It is a great relief that I know my mother is getting the best possible care. I have nothing but admiration for the professionalism and care shown by all the staff I have been in contact with. The newsletters, weekly video
meetings/calls so I can see and speak my mother; all are so so much appreciated in these difficult times. My mother has been in Ashley Gardens since last September. There have been lots of visits from other members of our family over the period until lockdown. They all say the same, how pleased we are that Mum is there, certainly the very best place for all her needs and care. Excellent.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.737)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.737) out of 10 for Ashley Gardens Care Centre is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.737 for Ashley Gardens Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (223 Excellents x 5) + (56 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 289 Ratings = 4.737
  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 Ashley Gardens Care Centre is based on 25 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 89 registered maximum number of service users is 17.8, which has been reached with 25 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.

Corina

Corina Fierbinteanu

Job Title: Home Manager Joined: 2022

I am a passionate nurse and a leader dedicated to delivering excellent care to our residents through a well-supported and skilled team. My role as Home Manager is to support the team in providing person-centred care and to ensure that our residents feel safe and comfortable in their homes.


I have been a Registered Nurse since 2008 and have over 9 years of experience working in the care home environment, including more than 5 years as Deputy Manager.


My team and I look forward to welcoming you to Ashley Gardens, and you can see our passion to ensure our residents receive a high standard of care and, as a team, we strive to achieve our best.

Bobby-Anne

Bobby-Anne Watson

Job Title: Activities Coordinator

“The home offers an exceptional nursing team who are highly skilled and qualified - a high proportion of the team have been here between 5-10 years. There is a friendly atmosphere throughout the home - people are always willing to give any activities a go and we always try to go above and beyond when planning activities.”

Nadine

Nadine

Job Title: Administrator

“Ashley Gardens is a busy home and the pace of work here is fast which I enjoy. I previously worked in a children’s residential centre and am loving working with older people, having regular interaction with our residents and hearing their stories – there is always something going on.”

Wesley

Wesley Brooks

Job Title: Kitchen Manager Joined: 2016

Prior to joining Healthcare Homes in 2016, Wesley was a head chef.

He believes you need to be a good communicator, be part of a team, lead by example and be personally driven to succeed in your role.


The favourite part of his working day is when at the end of the day you can be proud of what you have achieved as a team. To recognise individual performances and give praise.


His biggest professional challenge in his career to date was taking over a restaurant which was poorly performing. Customer satisfaction was low and sales decreased along with targets and budgets not being met. Within 12 months sales increased with customer returns continuing to grow. Budgets and targets were being hit and audits were above 95%. Wesley's biggest career highlight to date was being promoted to a flagship restaurant which had yearly sales of £400,000


What qualities do you think make a good home manager?


Wesley enjoys spending a lot of time with his children who always brighten up his day; time at the park and doing activities with them. He also enjoys watching most sports.


His ambition is to become more senior within the Healthcare Homes Group. To oversee the kitchens within and to have an active part in achieving great standards and quality presented food for all our resident's needs.
