I am delighted that my wife is a resident of Ashton View Care Home. The staff are unfailingly patient, pleasant, and very resilient-focused. I know my wife is happy because she tells me so. In addition, I feel like a member of the Ashton Views family which is personally gratifying.

After a very hard six months of Mum being quite poorly, I feel she has finally settled in, and all staff are so patient and kind with Mum. I also would say that if you have any problems, the manager and deputy manager are very approachable and extremely helpful. The seniors inform us of any problems
relating to Mum. I have visited when singers, etc, are there, and everyone seems to enjoy it. I feel like Mum is safe and cared for. Thank you.

Very helpful and friendly staff, always ready to answer questions. The staff obviously care about the residents. Lots of activities and things going on. The manager and deputy manager have been so supportive of any concerns we've had, taking the street out of the situation - keeping in touch and sorting
things out for us.

My Mum is very well looked after at Ashton View. The staff goes above and beyond to make sure that all residents are treated with respect and the utmost care. My sister and I are very satisfied with the care our Mum receives, we have peace of mind knowing that she is being looked after 24 hours a day.
To each and every one of the staff, thank you for your care, support, dedication, and commitment.

Dad hasn't been in long, but he's as happy as I've seen him in a long time, and in his words "Absolutely loves it!". I honestly can't fault the care given to him, the staff are absolutely wonderful - It's a massive relief knowing he's somewhere that he's being very well cared for.

My husband has been in Ashton View for just over two years due to his dementia, I have to say he is well looked after he is happy there, nothing is too much trouble for the staff if I need any help or am concerned about anything, the staff are always on hand to help me, I am always kept informed by
the unit manager regarding any changes in my husbands care, she is always ready to help with any problems she is well-liked by the residents and relatives.
I am looking forward to the changes that Dovehaven have said they want to do regarding air conditioning and refurbishment.

I was really worried about my husband going into a care home its a big step. He has settled in Ashton View after a few blips with him. The staff are really good with him and I don't worry so much now I know he is safe and being looked after well. I am glad we chose Ashton View. He has dementia.

My dad sadly passed away whilst staying at Ashton View. The staff showed compassion and respect which as a family we will always be grateful for. During Dad's staff the team went above and beyond especially two members of staff in particular they are angels. Please don't be put off by the building the
staff are truly amazing and will look after your relative like one of their own.
Thank you Ashton View.

Staff are very polite/professional and are always on hand to help. We (the whole family) have been made to feel very welcome at Ashton View although we were very sceptical due to previous poor Care home experiences, Ashton Care home is a breath of fresh air and I put this down to the Management and
staff.. With the medical condition of my dad and the time needed for his care, the team are fantastic. We appreciate the time/effort and care the Ashton View Team put in.

I came in for an assessment. I am very well looked after, the care is excellent. It's a lovely place, I am now wanting to stay permanently.
I have problems with a catheter but the nurses always attend to me very well when needed. I would recommend this home to anyone.

Ashton View Care Home has provided consistent, high-quality care to my dad which remains consistent with his changing care needs. The home and staff are welcoming and keep me involved and informed of my father's needs and care. He has been accommodated for seven years and is settled and comfortable
in the environment and with those providing his care.

Since my mum moved into Ashton View she has received the best care and treatment. The staff are all friendly and devoted to their job, they make you feel welcome when you visit and as long as I can I will continue to support them with donations for raffles and fundraising. They are a credit to your

My nan was moved here after a hospital stay following being diagnosed with dementia. I cannot fault the care my nan has received, especially from two staff members. We can’t thank you as a family enough for all of your help in helping my nan transition so easily into the care home. It makes things easier
knowing she is in such good hands. Thank you.

My husband has been in Ashton View now for Approx ten months now. During his time in the nursing home, he has been treated with the upmost respect and compassion by all members of staff. My husband's designated nurse and key worker in my view go above and beyond. They also make me feel at ease if I
have had a bad visit. Last month my husband didn’t look well at all however thanks again to the team at Ashton View there are glimpses of my husband again he had us smiling today playing my grandson's little guitar.

My mum moved to this home on 2/3/2023 and she settled in straight away. The staff made her feel welcome from the first minute she got there. The food is much better than her previous home she was in and so is the entertainment. After only being there for three days, they took her to watch her favourite
football team, she was buzzing. They are taking such care of my mum, I can't recommend the home highly enough, she loves it.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.911)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.911) out of 10 for Ashton View Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 35 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 35 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 4.911 for Ashton View Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (385 Excellents x 5) + (29 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 418 Ratings = 4.911
  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 Ashton View Care Home is based on 35 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 58 registered maximum number of service users is 11.6, which has been reached with 35 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.
