Placing a loved on into a care facility is never an easy decision and can be very stressful to all concerned.
The team at Ashton Grange have done a wonderful job in helping us all settle in the mums new way of life.


Every visit is like visiting an extended family. There are smiles everywhere and

nothing is ever too much trouble.


I am confident that she could not be in better hands.

Mum has been a resident of Ashton Grange since Q1 2019. It is a caring environment that provides the best support to residents and family. I have come to know the manager and the team well. It has been come clear that the level of care and support isn't superficial nor is it 'turned on at the flick
of a switch' in anticipation of a family visit. It is part of the culture.


Over the years I have been particularly impressed by the younger members of the team. They have been thoughtful and caring.


Geographically I am some distance from Ashton Grange and so I am unable to 'pop in' when passing by. It is therefore tremendously important that I have every confidence in the manager and his staff to ensure that Mum has the best possible quality of life.

My husband has been at Ashton Grange for nearly two years, he has always received the best possible care that meet his needs,The staff are always very friendly towards me and other visitors.
He and all the other residents are treated like family members which comes across in how they treat the
residents.(as if it were their own family they were caring for)
The manager is always available to talk to if I have any concerns or suggestions that not only concern my husband but in general as well.
The Kitchen staff do a fantastic job and will make sure everyone has what they want to eat,
We booked the front lounge for my husbands birthday, so all the family could come and help him celebrate in one area, the room was decorated along with some drinks and sandwiches and they made a lovely birthday cake that they brought in with about 6 members of staff.
There are daily activities for all the residents with outside entertainers going in a couple of times in the month

I am very happy with the care my mother receives at Ashton Grange Nursing Home. Staff check on her regularly, which is important for someone who is bed-bound. She is treated with respect and dignity and the staff are always cheerful and positive. My mother enjoys the food and they make sure that she
is hydrated, which can be a challenge for those with dementia. Birthdays are a special event here. Staff created a special birthday party for my mother and her family with many grandchildren/great-grandchildren to attend. She loved it!

My stepdad has been at Ashton Grange for 20 months. I have found all the staff working here to be caring and compassionate and the home is very well managed. They organise different activities and often send me photos of my stepdad taking part. I am kept informed of any changes to his health and that
inspires confidence. Carers, nurses and management are all equally happy to take the time to answer any questions.
As his medical needs change, everyone is well-informed and acts on new information immediately.
I'm very happy with the continuing care that he receives.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My relative was a resident at Ashton Grange for 10 years. We struggled to find a suitable place for the complex needs that would require professional care, whilst also meeting everyday needs and care.
My family and my relative were extremely happy with all the care aspects given i.e. nursing, carers,
social interactions, catering and cleaning.
A very well-managed home run by an excellent manager with a great well-trained friendly compassionate team.
Most of all my relative was happy, felt secure. Felt understood and genuinely felt like an integral part of the family as a whole.

We always find the staff kind, caring and attentive. They provide a range of activities for the residents throughout the week to keep them active and help with their cognitive functions. Since our friend moved here, it has been a relief to know how well cared for she has been. The management keeps us
informed, provides regular updates on our friend, and arranges family activities for friends and relatives to attend. It really is an excellent testament to how a care home should be run.

My Mum spent a year in Ashton Grange, I cannot thank the staff enough for all the care and support she received. From the first day she was there I no longer had to worry, I knew she was safe, her progress was amazing. All staff go above and beyond, I can honestly not praise them enough, the love and
kindness they showed her was truly genuine. My Mum started to laugh again and enjoy life, she absolutely adored the staff, they built up a bond which was very touching for me and my family. She was always clean and well looked after, I was able to phone daily and speak with her and I was always kept informed with regards to her welfare. The activities that are provided for the residents are always inclusive and stimulating, I really enjoy seeing the pictures of everyone on their Facebook page and have many treasured memories from these. Unfortunately my Mum had a stroke, but she returned from hospital to pass away with people she loved, I will always be forever grateful to Ashton Grange.

My mother entered the home for respite care, but the care she received was so good that we decided it was best for her to stay. I have seen nothing but warmth and gentleness for my mum and for the other residents. She is treated with utmost respect and care for her dignity. The home is clean and welcoming
always. The staff clearly know my mum incredibly well. On her very first day, the senior nurse noticed how distracted Mum is when she eats and arranged for someone to be with her at mealtimes to help her. That is something that we were aware of but had never persuaded others to take seriously before. The staff are also very kind to me and my family, and they keep us up to date all the time. They are never too busy to listen to a concern, or just to reassure. The relief I feel at Mum being so well cared for is unbelievable. I would really recommend Ashton Grange to anyone whose loved one has dementia.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.908)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.908) out of 10 for Ashton Grange 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 5.0 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 4.908 for Ashton Grange is calculated as follows: ( (158 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 174 Ratings = 4.908
  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 Grange 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 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 31 registered maximum number of service users is 6.2, 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.
