After my sister was refused by one of the nursing homes it was so nice to meet a very pleasant owner/manager and staff willing to cope with my sister. The rooms are very homely and clean, entertainment in the main dining area plus TV. Altogether a very caring place to be with caring staff.

My aunty has joined Ashdown Nursing Home a few months ago and I could not be happier. Before she had very frequent falls and lost a lot of weight, she now walks better and looks healthier, and is happy to see me visit once a week.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I came without an appointment, the manager was friendly and so kind to accommodate me. The home is clean and staff friendly, and well run. I am so pleased my friend is here. The staff know her and look after her so well. All the residents I saw looked lovely and well-looked after. A busy and friendly
atmosphere. Pleased with the restrictions to keep residents safe. 100%, 10/10. Well done Ashdown. As the former senior advisor for a County Council, an excellent home.

The experience of my husband moving into a residential home was a difficult experience. The staff showed so much kindness and care to both me and more importantly, him, gave me no doubt he was in the right place. All of the staff are professional, kind and caring and treat all of the residents with
respect.

The staff are always welcoming and friendly. It feels more like a home than a care environment.
My granddad always looks clean and freshly shaven and is always smiling, even on his bad days with his dementia. The family days are lovely and the staff always make an extra effort. A lovely home.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.792)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.792) out of 10 for Ashdown Nursing 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 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 15 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 4.917 for Ashdown Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (165 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 180 Ratings = 4.917
  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 4.875 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Ashdown Nursing Home is based on 15 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.875
    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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 15 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.
