I have watched my partner's mental and physical health deteriorate due to his health issues and have seen how much the wonderful staff here have continually cared for him and their compassion, despite being so busy. I cannot praise them enough and am extremely grateful to them.

Mum has been in Ashcroft since 2015 and I can safely say the staff in the home have always been kind and friendly and my mum is in the best place and I know she is well looked after. At times they go beyond their duties to make sure my mum has everything she needs.

My dad recently passed away in Ashcroft after living there since April 2022. He was always really well looked after by the wonderfully dedicated staff. In his last few days, the dedication never stopped. My family was well looked after when we stayed with Dad. He was treated with the utmost dignity
and cared for diligently until the end. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff be it during the day or through the night. They always made sure we knew who would be there on the next shift so we knew what to expect and never left before coming to check on us.
Nobody ever wants to put their loved one into a care home, but if you have to, there can't be many better places than this.
Thank you - you know who you are!

My mum has lived at Ashcroft since May 2023. She is happy and very well cared for. Every member of staff goes above and beyond to ensure she is clean, well fed and entertained. Her room is kept spotlessly clean and has everything she needs. I would not hesitate to recommend Ashcroft to anyone looking
for a care home for a loved one.

My Mother has been a resident at Ashcroft for 5 years now. She can be quite difficult and rude at times. The staff are fantastic with her and are very patient as she struggles with her speech. She always looks clean and well cared for. If any problems arise I am called straight away and they try their
utmost to sort it. I'm regularly kept up to date with her finances and also receive a monthly newsletter. Overall I'm more than happy with Ashcroft.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Dad was admitted to the care home for a 4-week assessment following a stay in hospital where his health (mental and physical) was deteriorating.
We visited the home prior to his admission. The staff was very welcoming and friendly and we were given a comprehensive tour during which we received a huge
amount of information. I was very impressed with the demeanour and number of staff, facilities, and the environment.
When Dad arrived, he was welcomed by the team leader who immediately took him under her care. I was very impressed by the way she assessed his needs and deployed resources immediately.
The care and support he has received since admission has been excellent as has communication with us. Dad arrived suffering from many symptoms of de-conditioning syndrome in particular delirium and confusion. He has now regained capacity.
The quality of the food and frequency of availability is excellent.
I am extremely satisfied and I know Dad is very well cared for, safe, and well-fed.

People are all very helpful and kind to you. If have trouble with the computer entering my name I can always find somebody to help me. At coffee time I always get a lovely cup of coffee and a biscuit to settle me down from driving all the way here, but I do enjoy it when I get here.

I really appreciate that the staff at Ashcroft are approachable and will help where they can. There have been times when members of staff have really gone out of their way to help in difficult circumstances. I love that they have a laugh and that my mother's nails look better than mine. Ashcroft has
a real family feel to it.

My mum had dementia and came to Ashcroft in December 2022 when her home closed with short notice!
She was a very anxious person, this probably got worse as her dementia progressed.
The staff at Ashcroft were excellent and soon got to know her little traits. She was well looked after and cared for
and as a family we were always made welcome.
We couldn’t have asked for any more with her end-of-life care, they were amazing.

My husband is at Ashcroft and I can not thank all the staff from receptionist to cleaners/chefs to care workers enough. They are always ready to help with a smile. The rooms are cleaned, and the laundry sometimes gets damaged his T-shirt had a rip in it after back from the laundry, but this is trivial
and all I care about is the way my husband is looked after with dignity and respect always. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart, Keep smiling Ladies/Gents. I would not be able to sleep if it was not for all of you at Ashcroft.

After 10 years of looking after my wife, I couldn't cope any longer. She was admitted in June 2023 and has been so good. The standard of care given is wonderful and gives both me and my sons total satisfaction and assurance that we can leave her receiving good care, which we found difficult at home.
Everyone from reception, management, finance, care staff. cleaners, catering and maintenance are excellent. Thank you all very much!

I'm grateful to all the kitchen and care staff who worked through Christmas day with big smiles to deliver a special lunch for the residents and family members. Christmas Day was always important to my mum and Ashcroft's efforts allowed her to have lunch with family and in a safe environment. And I
should extend that to the cleaning staff because a magic cleaning pixie cleaned Mum's room while we were having lunch!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Ashcroft is lovely, it feels more like a hotel than a care home, it’s nicely decorated with a lovely garden area. From us having to make the difficult decision to put Mum in a care home after 4 years of caring for her, the moment we walked through the door at Ashcroft we knew we were doing the right
thing. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming, so many members of staff have really taken the time to get to know mum well. Visits are really enjoyable and some staff already feel like family. Since Mum’s dementia has progressed she has become a very anxious person and often gets upset and needs lots of reassurance, we feel a sense of relief knowing Mum’s being cared for with dignity and respect in a safe, clean, happy, well-run environment. Keep up the great work and thank you.

I have been visiting my life-long friend who has been a resident at Ashcroft since October 2022. I am very happy to see her settled and comfortable and extremely well cared for now she has had to leave her home. The staff are very welcoming and courteous and obviously very caring to their residents.
Thank you for all you do to make this a home-from-home!

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.785)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.785) out of 10 for Ashcroft 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 37 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 37 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 4.785 for Ashcroft is calculated as follows: ( (351 Excellents x 5) + (74 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 433 Ratings = 4.785
  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 Ashcroft is based on 37 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2, which has been reached with 37 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.
