My mother was in the home for palliative care for 12 weeks before she passed. All of the staff at the home were friendly, compassionate, conscientious, caring and diligent for her and were equally amazing for the family too. We cannot thank the staff enough for everything that they did.
We would rate
the care provided as "outstanding."

I am very impressed with the level of care provided to my partner at Ashton House. Absolutely first class. Nothing is too much trouble for staff.
All staff members and care assistants, domestics, team leaders, etc are all equally friendly, efficient and caring. The manager is highly principled in very
good standards of care and this is followed down to all staff members providing an excellent service!

My mum has been at Ashton House since September 2023. During her time there, and my visits to her, we have been treated with respect, kindness and dignity by all the team, who are always smiling and there is always a cheerful atmosphere. They really look after my mum, and despite her communication difficulties,
are very attentive and try to engage with her. She smiles a lot with them, so that is testament in itself and makes me happy knowing she is safe and happy. I am always made to feel very welcome when I visit. Thank you for looking after her so well.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother-in-law went to Ashton House last spring, and sadly she passed away on 6/1/24. All the staff at Ashton House were amazing. They really do care about their residents. All the staff are kind, patient, polite, respectful and loving. When I was first greeted by the manager, I knew immediately this
was the right place for her. The reception staff are great ambassadors for the house. Always smiling, discreet, kind and friendly.
Ashton House was always putting on events and encouraging its residents to join in.
I highly recommend this care home.

My father-in-law passed away here two days ago, after two months of end-of-life care. The home and staff were attentive and caring throughout. The home is clean, warm, and safe. It’s in a pleasant location adjoining a lovely park. A choice of food was always given, and special requests were granted.
I’d highly recommend this home, and wouldn’t hesitate to use it again. They let us stay overnight twice, to be with him in his final hours. Thank you to everyone at Ashton House.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am grateful for all that Ashton House was able to provide for my father-in-law in the last months of his life. They rescued us from a tricky situation where he had been evicted from a much glossier retirement home. Ashton House demonstrated clearly that the most important aspect of care is quality
caregiving rather than interior design. The patience, kindness and professionalism of all the staff, shown to both us and him, was much appreciated. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Ashton House.

My experience here was amazing and well rested. Everyone is just wonderful. I loved being here with the staff, residents and managers. To receive such a lovely, warm welcome from everyone involved, I will be sad to go because it has been a wonderful experience. Receiving my medications has been spot
on from everyone. The staff are doing a fantastic job. A huge thank you to the activities team for taking me and picking me up from work every day. Thank you very much for looking after me! The activities that are put on are fantastic.

Staff are always welcoming and polite, show dignity to Residents and families
at all times. Staff are always on hand if needed. Activities are laid on regularly which gives the residents the stimulation needed. The food is good and the home is kept spotless and safe. The residents rooms are nice and
roomy and my mum has a lovely outlook onto planters outside of her window. The home is always nice and warm. Cannot fault anything and I am so pleased that my mum is well looked after.
I looked at many other care homes before Ashton House and none of them came close to Ashton House.
In the summer the BBQs are laid on for the residents and their families, the food is beautiful and plenty of it, entertainers engage well with the residents and make them feel special, the staff join in and dress up the residents as well as themselves and seem to enjoy themselves and get on well with everyone.
The atmosphere is always pleasant and a lot of hard work is put in to make you feel welcome.

My mother has been at Ashton House for a few months following a long stay in hospital. She has settled in very well and the staff have been wonderful. They keep me informed of any concerns they have and I visit whenever I can during the week and weekend. The staff are always friendly and welcoming,
the food is good and the entertainment is well organised.
I trust the staff to do the best for my mother and take good care of her.
I would highly recommend Ashton House.

My wife has been a resident on the Hazlewood wing for the past ten months. On admission her behaviour was very disturbed following a difficult hospital stay but the initial one to one care she received was an important factor in settling her in. From day one I have been impressed by the professional
and empathetic attitude of all the staff I have met. This is reinforced at every visit by the supportive welcome given at the reception desk and also the welcome offers of tea and coffee to share with my wife.

My mother has been in Ashton House for almost a year. I cannot rate both the home and staff highly enough. My mum had lived with my husband and me for 50 years and it was an enormous wrench to turn her care over to someone else. The staff are very caring and excellent with making my mum feel safe
and secure. I am kept up to date with all aspects of my mum's care and I know she is safe and well looked after. I would recommend here for anyone who has a relative to be really looked after.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.551)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.551) out of 10 for Ashton House Nursing & Residential Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 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 4.551 for Ashton House Nursing & Residential Home is calculated as follows: ( (236 Excellents x 5) + (61 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (16 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 321 Ratings = 4.551
  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 Ashton House Nursing & Residential Home is based on 26 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 100 registered maximum number of service users is 20, which has been reached with 26 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.
