We have been visiting my auntie here since last October. She is always happy, well looked after. The staff are wonderful, cheerful, obviously, know each person. They look after visitors too, always offering a drink and a chat. I know that my auntie is really happy living here.

First time visiting the home brought my children to the Easter event. Pleasantly surprised as I'd never been in a care home before. Very welcoming environment, clean and friendly staff.
Was encouraged to see how staff interacted with residents and how they appeared to enjoy the event.

Good care home. Staff are friendly. Sometimes personal care of the service user could be improved, i.e. teeth brushed, shave.

My mum has settled well into Ashcroft. The staff are all very friendly, professional, kind and helpful. It's very reassuring to know that our mother is being so well cared for. The food is all delicious and homemade. We are very pleased our mother is in such a lovely home and would highly recommend
Ashcroft as a caring care home.

I visit my friend at Ashcroft on a weekly basis, all of the staff are kind, caring and considerate to both me and my friend. They go above and beyond, nothing is too much for the staff and they always have a smile on their face. They do an amazing job even though it is hard at times for them. Ashcroft
really is a home from home, you can not ask for more than a happy, safe environment that is always welcoming to everyone. Can not thank them enough, highly recommend.

I have lived at Ashcroft for a while now. The staff are brilliant. And funny. We have a good time. I still get to go out and about and the staff supported me to get ready for a holiday to see my sister. I was sad to leave my holiday but my welcome home was fabulous and I am glad to be back at Ashcroft.
Everyone works so hard to make us happy in the home. I am glad I chose Ashcroft

When visiting my grandad, I noticed that he was clean-shaven, had clean clothes on and looked happy and settled. I know it's been and is a battle for staff to get him to have regular showers and change his clothes, so I appreciate the time and effort given to my grandad. Staff are doing an amazing job,
and my grandad appears happy and settled. Please keep up the good work, and thank you very much.

I have only praise for the staff and the care home in general. My mum said she was in a posh hotel. They looked after her like she was their own family, she was happy and I certainly was relieved of worry and stress because of how they looked after her and made her happy and comfortable. I will be forever
grateful. Sincere thanks.

Visiting my nan in her new home is wonderful, she is happy and always busy. We absolutely love seeing your updates on Facebook too. It really makes me feel happy that we made the right decision to move her into Ashcroft. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to these wonderful vulnerable people.

Ashcroft is lovely. It's really homely and has a great family feeling. Does not feel like living in a care home at all. My husband visits regularly and the staff take me out whenever I ask. The food is nice and I like my room. I have made a couple of friends so I am happy here.

I have lived at Ashcroft for a number of months and have enjoyed my stay. This last couple of weeks I have moved to the independent living services Ashcroft and I am really happy. I am supported to remain independent. Staff help me where needed but it's really nice to make my own hot drinks, do my washing
and help with the housework. I go out with family often and the staff go out of their way to make me happy. I am so happy to be living here.

The home is lovely. The staff are really nice and will do anything to help, they always have a smile on their face. We have many themed events where the staff dress up and have fun. The garden is a peaceful place to be and I have made many friends since living at Ashcroft. I would recommend this home
to anyone trying to find a care home.

Lockdown has been difficult for everyone but the staff at Ashcroft have been great. They have found many other ways of ensuring we are entertained each day. They have decorated many areas of the home so everything looks lovely. Staff work hard to make us all happy. I wasn't very well when I moved to
Ashcroft but the staff took time to care for me and I now feel better than ever. The food is nice and the cakes are brilliant. I recommend Ashcroft to anyone looking for a care 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.
