Although the patient has had a stroke and is very elderly within her capacities she seems content. She is being well looked after and likes the room and the fact she can see out of the window.

25th January 2018 my mother and I had a lovely time when we visited an old family friend who we last visited when my father was alive and mobile in the summer of 2015! After a long illness bravely borne Daddy passed away in February 2017 and we had not seen her for a long time. We were thrilled to find
her looking well cared for and able to remember who we were. The receptionist made us very welcome and despite the fact that new carpets were being fitted we were accommodated in the lounge on a new carpet and served a very welcome mug of tea with milk and one sugar. Thank you!

My 90-year-old mother came in for respite care after she fell over and could not walk. Several weeks later when she was back on her feet, she decided to stay permanently. She is so much happier, enjoys the company and it is a pleasure to visit.

The staff at Ashley Park always seem very friendly and efficient. There seems to be more continuity of staff than in other similar facilities, and when staff do leave, it is often for higher training and promotion.
The food seems excellent and home-cooked.
The house is lovely and residents are encouraged
to use the beautiful grounds in summer.

My mother appears happy and well cared for. Her room is clean, bright and warm. The carers I have met have been terrific, thoughtful, kind and gentle.
The house is old and awkward but seems to be well maintained.
I cannot comment on several aspects as I have no experience but there is a good atmosphere
and the staff are super.

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.

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.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.904)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.904) out of 10 for Ashley Park Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.904 for Ashley Park Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (151 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 166 Ratings = 4.904
  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 Park Care Home is based on 14 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 30 registered maximum number of service users is 6, which has been reached with 14 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.
