Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have been through 3 care homes, and by far the experience at Ash Grange was the best. The staff were caring and considerate of my husband's needs. The kitchen staff made sure my husband had religiously and culturally appropriate meals, and they made it to his taste. The housekeeping staff were equally
friendly and supportive. Not to forget the maintenance staff who were ever so helpful and always smiling. Finally, the management and nursing staff were always responding to my requests with regard to my husband's care. I would trust them 100%.

Having spent almost 3 months at Ash Grove Care Home, I have nothing but praise for the hard-working staff members who are always kind, cheerful and ready to help and encourage residents, especially those who need extra assistance. There is always a happy atmosphere (which is noted by visitors, who are
always made welcome), and many activities are organised for each day of the month. A good choice of food is provided too. I appreciate all the care and kindness I have received from everyone here during my stay.

I would like to thank all of the staff at Ash Grange for taking care of my mother so well during her time with you but most of all for the care and respect she was given when she passed. I cannot thank you all enough for being so lovely to mum and to me at this very difficult time. The receptionist,
the carers and nurses were really lovely and a real credit to the home.

My mother was a resident for almost two years. She was in her late 90's and received the best of care, particularly near her time of passing. My wife and I were welcomed and assisted by the friendly staff.

The staff, management and team at Ash Grange Care Home have been wonderful throughout Mum's stay. Testament to their genuinely caring nature is how Mum quickly came to consider the majority here as friends. As a son, knowing Mum felt that way made me feel exactly as if I had done the right thing by
choosing Ash Grange.

Chose this care home for Mom after various information-gathering exercises. It was the right choice. Mom was treated with the utmost care and looked after very well with dignity. As visitors we were treated very well and with compassion by everyone we came in contact with.

The confusion following late admission from hospital was dealt with admirably. All the staff were kind, courteous and helpful. The managers explained procedures thoroughly and clearly. Mom's room was spacious and ample storage provided. It was kept spotless throughout her stay. Staff were aware of Mom's
pain and were very gentle in moving her. She was checked throughout the day and night. Records were kept and available for us to see at anytime. Mom's death was dealt with thoughtfully and help in arrangements was given. Great sympathy was extended.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.750)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.750) out of 10 for Ash Grange Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 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 4.750 for Ash Grange Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (136 Excellents x 5) + (43 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 180 Ratings = 4.75
  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 Ash Grange Care 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 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 42 registered maximum number of service users is 8.4, 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.

Ure Ejemole

Job Title: Home Manager

What does ‘kindness’ and ‘kind care’ mean to you?


“Kind care to me means listening and being honest, and showing compassion in the care that we deliver. It means caring for our residents as individuals with their own unique needs and way of living.”


As a Registered Nurse, Ure has gained a wealth of experience in providing care and nursing support to elderly people, to enrich their lives. She is a knowledgeable and dedicated leader who is passionate about delivering the highest standards of care and quality of life for Residents.


Having worked for HC-One since 2019, Ure closely shares HC-One’s vision in aiming to provide the kindest care for each and every resident. She extends this caring approach to her colleagues and works closely with them to deliver care and support to residents in a way that they gain the most benefit, in a warm and welcoming home.


She said:


“I believe in giving wholesome care to residents because when they are in our care, we must be dedicated to every aspect of their needs. We are able to get them involved and help them relive some of their cherished memories and make them feel part of our community. It’s like being part of a community: making a positive impact on the general well-being of people by being caring, treating them with respect and kindness, and being involved in their lives.”


When asked what she enjoys most about her role, Ure remarked:


“Working with the elderly and caring for them in their final days is very special. I enjoy learning about the lives of our residents and am always pleased to reminisce with them and their loved ones and get a glimpse into their lives before their time with us at Ash Grange.


My name badge says: ‘Treasure Life’ because life is precious and has to be cherished, nourished, and enjoyed. We strive to enable our residents to continue to experience treasured moments. It is heart-warming and fills my heart with pride knowing that my team and I have made a positive impact in a resident or their loved one’s lives.”


Ure feels she has achieved much during her career, with her proudest achievement being her career progression from an internationally trained pre-registered nurse in September 2022 to becoming a registered home manager in October 2023. She also achieved a First-Class degree at the University of Derby whilst also working full-time.


Outside of work, Ure enjoys family time, watching movies, and reading books.
