The care our mum received at Aster Grove nursing home was outstanding.
Having had a bad experience at a previous home, the staff at Aster Grove were excellent.
The staff were always welcoming and friendly and kept us informed of any changes in mums condition.
Thank you for taking such good care
of mum in her last month's of her life. We are truly grateful to all of you.

I can not judge food and drink - I am only present in the afternoon. My sister is not in a good enough state (mental ability) to join in activities. The staff are always helpful, cheerful and willing to help in any and every way. I am very happy with the care provided and particularly the friendliness
shown to me when visiting and to my sister at all times. Thank you!

Review from Debbie H (Daughter of Resident) published on 17 February 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I write this review with reference to my mother who came to Aster Grove in August 2023 suffering from very severe dementia after a long period of specialist care in a mental health hospital. Naturally, as a family, we were in need of reassurance for her transfer from her previous care setting. The staff
at Aster Grove were amazing, not only with our mum's transfer and care but also with us, especially my dad who was struggling with all that was happening with his wife of 64 years. Over the time of her stay, he also became known by all the staff and they welcomed him at every visit, always kind, friendly and the staff looked after him, helping in his acceptance and understanding of mum's slow decline with dementia. Sadly Mum passed away in November 2024 but the care in her final weeks was dignified, compassionate and caring. All the staff were there for her and us during her final days. The whole staffing team were amazing and I would recommend this home without hesitation.

The care given to my mother who had dementia was excellent. She was treated with dignity and compassion throughout her stay at Aster Grove. The staff listened to our concerns and gave Mum the care she needed, not given in 2 previous care homes. The care given in her final weeks was exceptional, making
her family's distressing time less anxious. Thank you Aster Grove.

I can't praise this care home enough - my mum has been in it just coming up to a month.
The staff are kind, friendly and nothing is too much trouble.
They are always cheerful, positive and happy and a joy to talk with.
The manager has been welcoming to my mum and our family from day one - he's a
superb manager. His attention to every detail of my mum's care is second to none - outstanding!
My mum was so spoiled on her birthday - a cake was baked for her and her room was decorated beautifully - thank you to the manager and the team!
Overall the standard of care Mum has received has been thorough, detailed and attentive and I couldn't ask for more.
Thank you - I truly am so grateful!

Aster Grove is a bright and welcoming nursing home close to the sea and parkland. The staff are friendly, helpful, very attentive and always cheerful. The nursing staff are efficient and caring. They are always willing to discuss any medical problems. At Christmas the home laid on a party for residents
and their relatives which was great fun and recently for my husband's birthday, a cake was baked for residents and guests to share.

My wife was admitted to Aster Grove Nursing Home on the 11th of December 2022. Initially 4 weeks of respite after weeks of trying to care for her myself and others. I myself was in need of respite despite excellent help from the dementia care team and social services, it was not possible for her to
stay at home. So now I know she is safe and cared for in a way I could not possibly have cared for her at home.

A lovely welcoming and friendly nursing home, all staff are caring. Nothing too much trouble for the residents or relatives. Residents look happy and cared for. The bedrooms are spacious and spotless as in the rest of the building.
Christmas period was great, party for the residents and relatives.
Scrumptious food Christmas day they all had a gift and a festive lunch. Management and nursing staff keep me well informed of any medical or problems that occur.

As a family, we visited on Christmas Day and prior to that we attended the Christmas party. Both events were fantastic. The staff were so caring and friendly with all of the residents the giving of Christmas presents to each resident was a really special moment.
Aster Grove is such a warm and caring
place for our father to live.

Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
We visited my father-in-law a few times and the experience that we got is not welcoming. We feel that we are not welcome, it's like a prison. We have to ring when we come to visit him. We live in Manchester, and it is very difficult travelling all this way for a certain person to say why haven't you
rung, we just travelled nearly 8 hours and didn't realise you had to ring, but you said next time if you don't ring you're not allowed in. The manager is a very abrupt rude person.
Reply from Eminas Gasymovas, Home Manager at Aster Grove Nursing Home

We are sorry for your experience while visiting the home. However, you have kindly been advised prior to visiting the home to inform us when you are visiting and have been let in regardless. We expect at least an hour's notice. The reason for this is that there have been outbreaks of Covid in the area.


We encourage visiting as much as possible but this is a guideline put in place so that we can inform anyone visiting if we have an outbreak of Covid and avoid visitors like yourself being turned away after travelling to the home.

Since my wife entered this care home a few months back I have visited her daily. I have been very impressed with all the staff from the management to the cleaning staff. The managers are polite and caring and will do their very best to resolve any problems you may have. The nursing and caring staff
are without doubt dedicated and caring and are a credit to their profession. The home is always clean and the food good. I have visited 3 or 4 homes. I am very happy my wife is here.

My husband has been a resident for 4 months now. Apart from his Dementia, he has other ongoing health issues. He is very well looked after and cared for in all aspects. The staff are all very caring, attentive and friendly towards residents and visitors. To know that he is in such a caring friendly
place is a great comfort to me.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.772)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.772) out of 10 for Aster Grove 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 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 9 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 4.934 for Aster Grove Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (99 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 106 Ratings = 4.934
  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 4.838 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Aster Grove Nursing Home is based on 9 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 = 3.9
    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 48 registered maximum number of service users is 9.6. 9 Positive Reviews ÷ 9.6 = 0.938
  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.
