Always pleased to see how well my step-mum looks and how she is well looked after. The staff are friendly and obviously have rapport with her.
The care home itself is always clean, bright and well maintained. I understand that the bedrooms are being refreshed
I would highly recommend Ashby Court
and its staff.

Mum has dementia and is cared for very well. Staff are professional but are very caring and patient. She is allowed to get up and go to bed as she wants. She may not always want to eat at the dedicated meal times, but she is always fed when she is ready. There is always food and drink available. She
participates in activities when she is able and enjoys the interactions.
Family are kept informed of any issues, promptly as they arise.
Notwithstanding the inherent confusion of mum's condition, she is happy and comfortable. Nothing is too much trouble for staff when helping mum. It's all on mum's terms, as she can cope, she is the centre of things.

Reply from Maria Ricketts, Customer Care Adviser at Ashby Court Care Home

My mum was at Ashby Court for 18months. I never had any concerns about her care. The nursing staff were excellent towards the end of her life.
If there was any criticism it would be that sometimes it would be difficult to find a carer.

Reply from Lisa Henderson, Customer Care Advisor at Ashby Court Care Home

Thank you for your feedback. We are saddened to hear about your loss and we hope you went away knowing your loved one received the best possible care. Our resident’s health and well being is an absolute priority. We will discuss your feedback with the home’s manager to help them continually improve their service.

My Mum was a resident at Ashby Court from December 2023 until her death there on 27th May 2025. During that period she was cared for wonderfully well. The staff catered for her needs diligently and well and my sister and I were able to approach staff to have questions answered whenever we needed. Mum
began her residency upstairs in the nursing unit but moved downstairs when her condition improved sufficiently and we were pleased with the way she was encouraged to take part in activities and communal mealtimes. As mum's condition worsened she was taken back upstairs in the last weeks of her life and was cared for with compassion and professionalism by the nurses and other carers. We were particularly grateful for the manner in which we were informed of mum's death and by the the care we and she received in the immediate aftermath. To conclude, we are very glad that mum spent her last months in such a caring environment.

My Nanna has been with this care home for over 8 years. In that time we have only ever had positive experiences. The dementia unit is secure and well looked after. The staff are very friendly and do everything they can to ensure the residents are cared for in a safe and comfortable way. I would definitely
recommend Ashby Court.

Ashby Court Nursing Home provides excellent care for my mother with a dedicated staff who prioritize the well being of the residents. The facility is clean and well maintained with an excellent variety of activities to keep all residents engaged, which mother enjoys immensely. As a family we feel that
mum is safe and comfortable here and we appreciate the open communication with all the staff and management at Ashby Court.

My nanna has been in this care home for the last 8+ years. The first couple of years also spent with my grandad who has sadly passed away. They lived together in a double room on the dementia unit which was very accommodating. I would often visit them both in the living room which was lovely and inviting
and the staff were always friendly. The staff made my grandads final few days very comfortable and peaceful for him which we are very grateful for. Nanna is now in the nursing unit and she has a lovely room with bright light and lots of pictures on her wall. I have always had a great experience with all of the nursing staff who seem happy to be at work and have a lovely relationship with my nanna. She is always dressed well and clean. The food is prepared to a high standard and smells great. I will always speak highly of this care home.

Her room has a large plastered patch on the wall that has been there for a year. Considering the cost of the room, I would expect redecoration. The staff are lovely and they lay on activities most weeks which is nice. The cost is incredibly high.

Overall the care home caters for my mum's needs. Issues have been resolved, ie upgrade of my mum's room, following an email from myself. Maybe internal reviews/checklists need to be established by management, to ensure the above is resolved before any complaint.
Have had mixed reviews about the standard
of food, cannot really comment as I'm not there when they receive the meals.
Would like to see some justification regarding the price increase.

Reply from Maria Ricketts, Customer Care Adviser at Ashby Court Care Home

We are sorry that the decorating and upgrade of mum's room was reactive. Once the issues were raised, the home responded to and completed the work in a very short space of time. There is a programme of redecoration and renewal in the home to ensure the environment is well decorated in all areas. Our Head Chef takes feedback from the residents on menu choices and implements these according to the feedback. There is a Residents' Committee that meet every month to ensure the residents' voices are heard where things like food choices and activities are concerned. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to make your mums stay as comfortable as possible.

My husband has been in the home a few months now and seems settled with all the staff being very friendly. They have plenty of activities going on daily with some really good ones visiting playing music and singing in particular.
Just before Christmas a new chef arrived and since then he's made lots
of lovely dishes and cakes that everyone enjoys. The food is really appetising even those on special diets are catered for and those on soft food diets have food piped to look like proper meals. Also if there's nothing on the menu a person likes they make sure they get them something to eat that they enjoy.
They have recently made a coffee area in the main entrance hall which gives it a feeling of walking into a 5-star hotel, not a nursing home.
Somewhere I can fully recommend.

My mum came to Ashby Court for respite care after being in hospital. Since she arrived she has improved a great deal. All the staff are so kind, helpful and friendly. I feel that they are very professional and organised when discussing medication and they always involve me in decisions. I would recommend
Ashby Court as a safe, welcoming home-from-home environment.

I have been very happy with the level of care my mother is receiving at Ashby Court since moving there at New Year. Also, my father was treated with such dignity whilst in residence prior to his passing in April, and such respect and kindness were shown by the staff. Mum has a comfortable room, but
the main lounge, side lounge, and garden are also good spaces. I believe the food is good, and a good range of activities are offered.

My sister-in-law is very happy, enjoys the food and activities, very settled and has developed a wonderful relationship with the staff and management team.

My mum looked at a few care homes before deciding on Ashby Court. It has taken a while for her to settle but after 2 months she has decided this is where she wants to stay. The staff are brilliant. They encourage my mum (who is not that sociable) to join in and make an effort to leave her room. She
has joined in activities which she has enjoyed and loves getting her hair done every week. She is looking forward to getting her nails done.

The staff at Ashby Court are very friendly and caring to every need of the residents. The nurses and carers are excellent as are all the support staff.
Recent improvements to the decor have made a big difference across the home and no issue is too small for them to ignore.
The recent acquisition
of a minibus will allow residents to go on more day trips and activities are planned regularly.
Thank you for the care you provide.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.483)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.483) out of 10 for Ashby Court Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.483 for Ashby Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (176 Excellents x 5) + (98 Goods x 4) + (26 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 302 Ratings = 4.483

  • b) 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 Ashby Court Care Home is based on 26 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 26 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
