Click to show a breakdown of the Review Score
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating of all Reviews over all time. For each review the Care Home / service is rated Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor or Very Poor on a number of areas eg Staff, Management etc. The Care Home receives points for each rating as follows: Excellent = 5. Good = 4. Satisfactory = 3. Poor = 2. Very Poor = 1. These points are added up and then divided by the total number of completed ratings to generate the average rating.
The Average Rating of 4.483 for Ashley Park Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (125 Excellents x 5) + (64 Goods x 4) + (16 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 209 Ratings = 4.483
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this Care Home to friends and family if they needed similar care or treatment?'
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
4 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews, 3 points for the first Positive Review and then 0.25 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews.
1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.
The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Ashley Park Care Home is based on 17 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4
Target of 6 positive Reviews (30 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 17 Reviews ÷ 6 Target Reached = 1
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

I particularly like Ashley Park because it is a small home in beautiful grounds (well kept) I know most of the staff (permanent) and find them all very caring to my husband. I have already recommended it to a couple of friends for their relatives.

My mother's care is exemplary. She is completely immobile and depends on the staff for all her needs. These needs are always attended to with professionalism, kindness and respect.
The home has a very welcoming, warm, friendly and homely atmosphere.

Ashley Park has been incredibly supportive of my mother since she first visited for respite in November last year and later from February when she returned as a permanent resident. My father has very recently passed away and the care and understanding shown to my mother by all staff has been exceptional.

My mother has been a resident of Ashley Park Care Home for seven and a half years. During that time, she has been consistently well cared for. Her needs are great as she is completely immobile and has no communication skills. The staff have been able to interpret her needs and make sure she is never in pain or ditress.

I am very comfortable. I enjoy my PAT Dog visits with the man and his dog Wanda. I do not partake in many activities but very much enjoy the violin and clarinet concerts and the poetry reading.
Sometimes I have to wait for my night time medication after I have got undressed and changed into my night clothes.
The last time this occurred it was rectified the following evening by an excellent staff member.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Paul F (Relative of Resident) on Thursday 18 May 2017. Relates to May 2017.
We attended the 100th Birthday of a relative and all members of our family were strongly impressed by the warmth of the care provided. The staff went to great lengths to make our relative feel special and the quality of the preparation by the events manager, the food by the kitchen staff, the individual attention given by the manager and all his staff was second to none. It is impossible to overstate the sincerity of the care. Genuinely outstanding. The good health and happiness of the residents were a testament to the staff. Well done to all concerned.

Every year fees increase well above inflation but without any improvements in standards. Resident now even have to pay for a telephone. Staffing levels are down below what is required and there is yet another new manager. (5th in 8 years).

I believe the very high quality of nursing and care that my mum has received has extended her life beyond what was expected. All the staff are extremely professional and very helpful to us the relatives.
As a family, we could not be happier to know our mum is being looked after in such a caring and safe environment.
A huge thank you to all staff at Ashley Park.

I was a senior SRN and have had a lot of experience in the care of the elderly. I am convinced that my friend has landed in a very caring home for terminal care and has been reasonably happy for the last two years, though is now tired but appreciates all that is done for her.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Rod (Son of Resident) on Sunday 20 November 2016. Relates to November 2016.
Having by now been in Ashley Park for six months, my mother is comfortable and relaxed. She frequently comments on the friendliness and kindness of members of staff. She enjoys her meals in the dining room or in her own pleasant ground floor room from which she has a beautiful view of the countryside. She's an active participant in and very much enjoys the program of activities provided in the house (though would enjoy this even more if some activities were scheduled occasionally at weekends). All in all, she has definitely benefited from her first six months at Ashley Park.
