Latest Care Quality Commission* Report on Astley Hall Care Home: click here
* Care Quality Commission is responsible for the registration and inspection of social care services in England.
The Review Score of 9.6 (maximum of 10) for Astley Hall Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 22 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Astley Hall Care Home in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5 out of 5 from 14 positive Reviews in the last 12 months.
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating of all Reviews over all time. For each review the Care Home / service is rated Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor or Very Poor on a number of areas eg Staff, Management etc. The Care Home receives points for each rating as follows: Excellent = 5. Good = 4. Satisfactory = 3. Poor = 2. Very Poor = 1. These points are added up and then divided by the total number of completed ratings to generate the average rating.
The Average Rating of 4.588 for Astley Hall Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (176 Excellents x 5) + (67 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 260 Ratings = 4.588
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this Care Home to friends and family if they needed similar care or treatment?'
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
4 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews, 3 points for the first Positive Review and then 0.25 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews.
1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.
If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. The calculation is the same as above, except the points are divided by 2.
The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Astley Hall Care Home is based on 14 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4
Target of 9.6 positive Reviews (48 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 14 Reviews ÷ 9.6 Target Reached = 1
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
Astley Hall Care Home has a Review Score of 9.6 (9.588) from 22 Reviews

Astley Hall, I cannot recommend enough. They provided excellent care for my dad. I cannot recommend the home enough. Situated in beautiful grounds, loving caring staff from the senior nurses to the catering staff. Thank you all so much for looking after Dad.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Sharon S (Daughter of Resident) on Tuesday 8 May 2018. Relates to May 2018.
Two months ago, we needed to move my Mum who has dementia from her care home to a nursing home after she fell and broke her hip. We were very concerned about moving her. For the first couple of weeks, she was angry and uncooperative, however, the staff were extremely patient with her and soon encouraged her to join in with activities. She is now a different person. The hall is set in lovely gardens which are used by the residents. The standard of care is excellent, the staff fabulous and the activity co-ordinators outstanding. We highly recommend Astley Hall.
You can keep up to date with Astley Hall via Facebook, where the staff post pictures and videos of the activities.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by C B (Sister of Resident) on Monday 30 April 2018. Relates to March 2018.
Having had the misfortune to visit several care homes whilst sorting my sister's care, I can only be totally impressed with everything to do with Astley Hall. She has been there and, unfortunately, bedridden since December and I have never ever felt the need to query her care. She is not involved with activities so I cannot comment and I avoid lunchtimes etc, so again, I cannot comment but I do know she eats well. Astley Hall seems to me to be a very high standard of care and I am so very grateful that my sister is in their care.

I was very impressed by the professionalism, warmth of the welcome and standards of care on my husband's first day at Astley Hall.
This has continued and I cannot thank Astley Hall enough for the quality of care which they provide for my husband.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Richard P (Son of Resident) on Tuesday 19 December 2017. Relates to December 2017.
Both my parents live at Astley. Since they are both frail and unable to cope at home, this was transitional, firstly my Mother who has dementia and more recently my Father who is also requiring substantial care. The family visits the hall, and we always find them in good care. The home is well staffed, and the carers friendly. No complaints about the food and the place has the credentials of being clean, and well run. Most importantly, I can trust the nursing staff to make the right decisions, on what they can cope with and when hospitalisation is necessary.
It is a difficult time when your parents need to go into care, however, I am comfortable their needs are being addressed and given the remoteness of the family the alternatives were simply not safe. For that, I thank all the staff at Astley Hall.

Astley Hall has provided an excellent home for my aunt for the last twenty-one months. Her life has been undoubtedly extended by all the excellent care and attention she has received. She always looks a credit to the staff who colour coordinate her clothes and arrange for her hair care.

My brother has been a resident at this home for nearly a year after suffering a stroke and is very happy, he knows all the staff by name and gets on really well with them.
Finding this home for him was a great relief after viewing many others. As you walk through the front door of this historic building you get a good feeling.
Myself and my family would highly recommend Astley Hall.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Jayne K (Daughter-in-law of Resident) on Monday 23 October 2017. Relates to October 2017.
My mother-in-law has been a resident at Astley Hall Care Home Stourport-On-Severn about 3 to 4 years now and in that time we have had no concerns about her care. She is kept very clean and tidy although she is now bedridden her hair and nails are still kept clean and cut and her room is always nice and tidy and kept very clean.
The food is good and varied and looks tasty. The staff are always pleasant and very helpful when needed.
Mother-in-law always greets the carers with a smile although she has dementia and can not really recognise many people she seems pleased to see them.
one thing that is very noticeable you DO NOT get the nasty toilet smell as you walk through the main doors like you can in some care homes!!

My mother has been a resident at Astley Hall for nearly three years and during this time the family have been very impressed with the professional way the home is run.
It is a lovely clean environment and the staff are caring, friendly, helpful and very approachable.
My mother is treated with dignity and I am confident that her needs are being well assessed and met.

My mum has been at Astley Hall Care home since February 2017. I would highly recommend Astley Hall. It's the last place you want your parent to land up but I can honestly say with hand on heart that the staff and the care they provide is to a high standard. I know my mum is being looked after 24/7 which puts my mind at ease. The staff there deserve every penny they earn, so kind, loving and considerate. I would highly recommend this care home to anyone that needs their loved ones looked after. I would give them 10 out of 10 for everything they do.

When looking in the area for a home for my mother I felt that everything felt right about Astley Hall. In the year that she has been there, she has become very calm and relaxed and I feel this is down to the excellent staff who really get on with all the residents and go out of their way to care and show an interest in them.
The home is clean and secure and has a nice friendly feel to it, I have visited my mother at various times of the day and have always found the staff to be welcoming and looking after everyone, I have never found anything that I was not happy with.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Christine O (Daughter of Resident) on Monday 5 June 2017.
My mother came to Astley Hall after she was discharged from hospital after breaking her hip. She had dementia and the whole experience was upsetting and stressful for her. I have to say she was put at ease straight away by the thoughtful and caring staff. We turn up at all times to see the everyday running of the home. There is nothing I can complain about. The staff are so caring nothing is too much trouble. The activities are excellent and encourage residents to join in, especially the singing. The improvements in my mother are really noticeable. Sometimes they are very busy but still, they do the very best.

My feelings on Astley Hall are of great admiration for the nurses/carers whom take care of my mother and other patients.
Their willingness to go the extra mile is fantastic. Interaction is excellent. The food is of a high standard and the staff are always willing to go and prepare other foods to entice my mother to eat if she doesn't like the main menu. I am always made to feel welcome. I am always kept updated on my mother's progress and health.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Valerie W (Daughter of Resident) on Wednesday 28 September 2016. Relates to August 2016.
My initial impression was not good, * Care Home didn't strike me as a nursing home, unfortunately, it had a very unpleasant smell. Dad's room wasn't very inviting. However it is the care that is important, dad's carers were always very patient and polite but there was little warmth from them to my dad. His call bell when I visited was never in his reach, despite him being down a long corridor. On one occasion his air pressure relieving mattress had become deflated (he has immobility due to stroke). He developed an infection pressure sore on his ankle and lost 6kg in weight in 4 weeks. I never saw any fresh fruit or veg served!

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Sue W (Daughter of Resident) on Monday 14 March 2016. Relates to March 2016.
Dad spent the last 3 years of his life at Astley Hall and died there this week. The home is a lovely old building with ongoing upgrades, but disruption to residents during essential work has been kept to a minimum. The general feel of the home is that it is clean, caring and friendly. Throughout his stay Dad has been well cared for by all the staff who got to know him well. He was always clean and shaved when we visited (unless he didn't want to be, and his wishes had been respected!) The end of life care he received was excellent and the care shown to us as a family by all the staff was faultless. Thank you.
