Review from Christopher G (Son of Resident) published on 2 December 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We visited Aspen Court whilst looking for a nursing home for our elderly mother. We felt Aspen had a nice feeling, we liked the bedroom and wide variety of activities and location was ideal for visiting on the East side of Derby.
Mum was admitted on 11th Nov and very poorly but all the staff went out
of their way to make Mum and the family welcome.
For Mum's 93rd birthday the staff made a lovely birthday cake and helped us celebrate that wonderful achievement.
My sister and I found the nursing staff and entire team to be friendly, caring and considerate and helped make our lovely mum's stay to be as comfortable as possible in her final days. Sadly our beloved mum passed away on 23rd.
The staff showed enormous compassion and support for which we are most grateful.

Review from Jane M (Daughter of Resident) published on 30 September 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
I found this establishment to be seriously lacking in 'Customer Care'.


I completely understand that my Father was admitted as part of his end of life plan and that my Mother seriously needed some respite from the Care she was providing for him, but his last few days of life were 'tainted' by the

extremely unprofessional way in how his death was dealt with.


I believe that some of his belongings are still at Aspen Court even though we requested that they were left for collection.


There is still a sense of 'non-closure' with respect to my Father's last hours as we have received no feedback/communication whatsoever.

Dad now requires palliative care so it has been a stressful situation for both him and us. Aspen Court Care Home have been excellent both at putting dad and I at ease and making dad feel settled. There are always nurses on hand and doctors visit regularly. The staff have done everything possible for
dad's comfort and have treated him with dignity at all times. I would not hesitate to recommend.

Review from Elizabeth B (Sister of Resident) published on 4 June 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Although the actual home looks a little tired the ambience and friendly staff make up for it. The home ensures that residents are stimulated on a daily basis by providing an entertainments member of staff who rotates a good selection of activities. The food always looks very appetizing and plentiful.
Although I have not witnessed the level of care, I feel it is satisfactory but not excellent.

Review from W B (Daughter of Resident) published on 4 June 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Mum appears to be generally well looked after and most of the staff know her needs and treat her well. The majority of staff are very pleasant and listen to what the family what for Mum. The facilities are good and the cleanliness is excellent. The activities and entertainment are excellent with a lot
of time and effort put into these, which keeps the resident occupied and able to interact with each other. During the day there is a lack of staff or they are too busy to take Mum to the toilet. This happens regularly and she can wait up to 30 minutes before they come which results in her sitting in wet clothes.

My auntie has been to Aspen Court a few times for respite. When visiting, I get a lovely vibe from Aspen Court and everyone (residents and staff) always seem happy. I really like the lady who comes every day and does activities and games with the residents. On a negative note, my auntie always seems
to wait a long while to be showered. She's also had items going missing and has, in the past, come home with thrush.

Could be a superb care home with a few more "visible" carers - available at all times and better "hands-on" management.

I visited Aspen Court prior to my mother becoming a resident there at the beginning of March 2018. My immediate impressions were how pleasant an environment it was. Corridors and rooms are very clean, spacious, light, airy and well-decorated. Toilets and bathrooms spotless. Well set out communal areas
with quiet room, TV viewing room, conservatory looking onto garden and dining room. Plenty of chairs available for visitors. Daily menu providing tasty nutritional food. The staff are very helpful, friendly and respectful towards residents. Calm atmosphere.

I feel happy and content knowing my Mum is being looked after by such friendly and caring staff. I know that her medicines are not forgotten like she used to and that there are three, nutritional, meals each day plus snacks and drinks, she only wanted packet meals at home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since losing my Father just over a year ago, after 64 years together, my Mum was very lonely and isolated. Although she was receiving home care visits 4 times per day she continued on a downward spiral, she was depressed and often refused to get out of bed, wash or eat and drink. My Mum likes to be
surrounded by people and the people as Aspen Court are wonderful with her. She has lots of friends and likes to join in all the activities. She is happy and so am I as I don't have to worry if she's safe. I know she's well looked after.

Current Review Score: 8.5 (8.502)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.5 (8.502) out of 10 for Aspen Court Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.2 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 6 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 4.152 for Aspen Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (35 Excellents x 5) + (43 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (7 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 92 Ratings = 4.152
  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 4.35 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Aspen Court Care Home is based on 6 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 = 3.6
    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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 8 = 0.75
  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.
