Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am extremely happy with all aspects of care my Mum receives from all of the staff at Ashwood. They are a great team. They show compassion, respect and value her privacy and dignity. We have a video call twice a week which my sister and I look forward to. We are able to see how well cared for and how
comfortable and settled she is. The home itself is lovely and bright and is spotlessly clean and fresh. There are comfortable airy lounges to sit in. Mum’s possessions are respected and she can personalise her room. Her clothes are laundered and organised very well. All in all, Ashwood lives up to my expectations on how a Nursing/Care home should be. My sister and I have peace of mind knowing that Mum is being expertly cared for.

My relative has been in the Home for about a year. During this time I have found the staff to be very caring and attentive. Although I am unable to visit my relative very often, I am kept well informed of his condition on a regular basis either by email or telephone. I would have no hesitation in recommending
Ashwood Nursing Home.

Throughout the time my husband has been in Ashwood it has been so encouraging to see the way he has received such good care in every area of his individual needs. I have a continuing sense of peace and gratitude knowing that he is safe and so well cared for especially during the past year which has
been so challenging for us all. Ashwood staff are always approachable, helpful and working so hard to maintain a good standard of care even in the most difficult of circumstances and have done an excellent job coping with all the extra demands on them during the past year. As a relative of a resident, I am so grateful for all that my loved one daily receives especially while my contact with him is so restricted at this present time. It gives me peace of mind to know that he is in excellent hands in a safe and secure environment. Ashwood is a lovely place filled with lovely staff who are dedicated and committed to their work who have created a special place for our loved ones to call home.

Everyone we have dealt with has been friendly and professional. They all try that extra half mile especially during the settling in period. Would not be surprised if the home's team mantra was; 'Nothing is too much trouble!'

My mother has been in residence here for over a year. I have found the facility to be of a constant very high standard. The staff are absolutely capable and wonderful and caring people. Mother has had a few health problems for many years these were taken on board and have been looked after in an amazing
way. Her care has been exceptional and I could not praise this establishment enough to do it justice. Let's just say if I ever need this type of care I would be more than happy to be there myself. I think that is the best way in which I could describe it.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My dad was a respite resident for 5 weeks from mid-January 2020 while my mum was in hospital. He was physically very able, but suffered from vascular dementia. The care he received at Ashwood was excellent. He was treated with kindness, care, understanding and dignity, and always as an individual with
his personal likes and dislikes etc. We felt that Dad was in a really safe and caring environment. The home was always spotlessly clean, and never had that awful smell that a lot of homes have. There was plenty of room for Dad to walk around as much and as often as he liked, and when the weather permitted he was sometimes taken for a walk outside. One of the highlights for him was being taken out in the minibus for coffee (weekly?). There were activities for the residents if they chose to take part, although Dad was happy just to watch on many occasions. A really lovely home.

For the family of any resident in a care home, it is important that you can be one hundred percent satisfied that your loved one is totally cared for in all aspects of their daily needs
As the daughter of a resident who has been at the home for over two years, I am totally assured from what I have
witnessed, first hand, that my Mother has the best possible care she deserves at this time of her life.
I "thank" the Home Manager and staff at Ashwood Nursing Home for their dedication in making this happen.

I have been extremely happy with the service being provided for my father by Ashwood Care Home. As I live a long distance away in Manchester I was not able to be there when my father was transferred the home. Covid-19 has also meant that I can only contact my father by telephone.
As he had only the
clothes that he was wearing, one of the staff went shopping and purchased some new clothes for him. The Management team also arranged for a member of staff to travel to his home to pick up his glasses and some additional items of clothing for him. This to my mind is outstanding service and I would have no hesitation of recommending Ashwood House to care for a loved one.

My dad was instantly made to feel welcome in this beautiful home. The staff take the time to get to know residents and are always polite and friendly to visitors. The food is of a high standard and the menu is varied so always something for everyone.
The home itself is spotlessly clean and has a lovely
courtyard garden where residents are safe and secure. The two lounges offer comfy seating away from the rooms if residents and visitors wish to use them.

The staff at Ashwood have worked with my mother since her arrival from hospital. She was brought to Ashwood after a stroke which had resulted in severe deterioration of her dementia, partial blindness and challenging behaviour - stemming from anxiety. The staff have worked with her, her GP practise
and our family to help her settle, relieve her anxiety and recover some of her cognitive abilities. They are highly skilled and caring. The home is beautifully maintained, clean and cheerful.

Mum has had absolutely the best of care since being at Ashwood nursing home. A very poorly lady when she arrived. Thanks to the excellent care her blood sugar is now stable and her blood pressure is good. She has just been well enough to take part in her first trip out to visit the Tuesday Market in
Spalding excellent! Than you all so much.

You cannot fault this nursing home - the staff are caring, professional and go way beyond just basic caring. They spend time with the residents and make the visitor welcome. I have never seen any staff without a smile on their faces. Food is second to none, the chef will go beyond and above, nothing
is too much trouble, if you want to eat something special it's done! The whole environment and atmosphere of the home is wonderful. I want to go there when it's my time!

My dad couldn't wait to leave this home. He hated it there and became really depressed due to extremely poor standard of food and drink quality and being abruptly awoken every day at 5am to do routine bedding changes to save day staff doing it. Not all it's cracked up to be. My dad left early as
he was so fed up. Avoid and don't be taken in by the posh furniture and décor, it's a cover-up for poor standards. Needs major improvements. I would hate to stay there myself and couldn't wait to take my dad back home out of there.

My mum arrived here after living all her life in London. She immediately commented on the welcoming feeling the home gave her. So far, in the 10 days she has been here, the difference it has made to her physical and mental wellbeing has been very noticeable. The rooms and surroundings are very good,
which, coupled with the wonderful staff make a stay in such an environment a very positive experience.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.758)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.758) out of 10 for Ashwood Care & Nursing 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 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.758 for Ashwood Care & Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (183 Excellents x 5) + (42 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 231 Ratings = 4.758
  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 Ashwood Care & Nursing Home is based on 20 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 47 registered maximum number of service users is 9.4, which has been reached with 20 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.
