Ashcroft is a very pleasant care home. The staff are friendly, caring and very supportive of mum's needs. We are kept informed of any serious issues that arise and we are always made welcome by staff when we visit.

Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
I visit my Grandma Mondays/Sundays. She has been there over a year and I have never seen any activities going on. This needs addressing as she is always just in the day room with nothing going on. Staff are always very busy so don't have time to do activities, sit and chat (not that I have witnessed).
However, my Gran is always clean and her hair is done etc. Food looks nice and tea/cakes etc look very nice.

Mum is still settling into her new home but we are happy with the care she has and continues to receive at Ashcroft. The staff have always been kind and considerate form her first holiday stay up to the present. They have worked with us, the family, to make Mum's new life as pleasant as possible. No
one likes to leave their home but Ashcroft provides a safe place where she can be cared for 24/7 when we are unable to be with her.

My brother has been a resident for three years. He was born profoundly deaf and the care staff have been very patient in learning to communicate with him. He is very happy at Ashcroft and is encouraged to visit his friends at the local deaf centre each week. He enjoys his food very much and also enjoys
being able to sit outside and have a smoke. We live 200 miles away so cannot visit too often, but feel confident he is being well cared for and all his needs met.

I take my Mum to visit her sister every week. The reception staff have been extremely welcoming. If I have spoken to the staff they have always been very friendly and courteous. My Aunt is in a safe environment and I take great comfort knowing that she is safe and well looked after.

During September my mother's health was deteriorating following an infection and it became obvious that she was not going to recover. The staff who cared for her, especially during the final fortnight of her life were very kind and caring, both to her and her family. She was treated with dignity, respect
and a great deal of compassion. When the time came for her passing we couldn't have been treated better by the staff on duty who were so considerate and caring. Well done everyone.

My mother received good care at Ashcroft for the duration of her 5 month stay in the home earlier this year. Her needs changed throughout her stay but despite this, care staff were helpful, supportive and flexible to try to give her the care she needed. Some of the staff were excellent. My mum presented
different challenges, was mentally aware and had full capacity, but had deteriorating mobility and as such she needed more personal attention, care and conversation. This may have been beyond the normal remit but staff were willing to help and provide necessary care.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My dad has been a very happy, self-funding resident at Ashcroft for over 4 years. When his savings were getting low I approached the care home for advice, the told me about funding that dad may be eligible for. They gave me details of who to contact and after 9 months and many meetings, which were attended
by dads key workers from Ashcroft who were extremely professional and knowledgeable about my dad and his care needs funding was, unfortunately, turned down. I didn't want to move dad from the place we now call home and I was overjoyed when management came up with a plan to suit us all and enabling dad to stay at Ashcroft. My dad chose Ashcroft 27 years ago for his mum to spend her final years and I know he will be safe and cared for in the same place.
Nothing is ever too much trouble for staff or management and their support and care, not only for my dad, but also to me will never be forgotten. They are all amazing.

The home itself is excellent. Recently redecorated to high standard inside with a small garden area outside. The staff are all very caring to residents. The dealings I have had with the management team I have found them to be professional and very helpful. A very nice care home.

I know Ashcroft was the best place for my husband as soon as I went through the front door. The staff were very welcoming and the atmosphere felt good. He soon settled in and I am very happy with the care he receives. I have no hesitation in recommending Ashcroft to others. The rest of the family feel
the same as we.

We knew after the first week that this was the perfect home for our dad. All the staff are caring, considerate and very hardworking. They kept our dad comfortable. Always clean and tidy and ensured his bedding was changed swiftly if needed. Every staff member plays their part efficiently from care staff,
laundry and kitchen staff to management. Well done Ashcroft and thank you.

My mum was admitted to Ashcroft in Undercliffe in April, at first she was confused, but soon settled in, the carers are amazing, especially the kitchen staff, she is so well liked and loved that I have no fears that she is well looked after, I think if they gave her a job with a vacuum cleaner or washing
up in the kitchen she would be happy as a pig in clover.


Dementia robs you of a lot of things, in my mum's case she cannot retain a book, a tv programme or a movie, but she loves to potter in her room, the staff are so patient with her as her cognitive speech is difficult, you can see the cogs going round in her mind, just can’t get the words out.


I feel happy in the knowledge that she is well cared for.

When my Auntie was taken as a resident at Ashcroft Care Home I must admit I was worried that she wouldn't settle but she was so well looked after.
The staff were lovely and so professional whatever she needed or wanted, they made sure she was granted her wishes.
I think they deserve a medal, sometime
Auntie could be a bit of a pain but they just talked to her and gave her a cuddle and everything was fine, that meant a lot to me.
The food was good and the room was wonderful a lovely sunny, south facing room.
She was absolutely delighted with it, called it her lovely new home.
She also enjoyed the entertainment, especially the parties they gave her for birthdays, especially the last one for her 104th birthday.

Ashcroft looked after my Grandma for over 4 years, adapting their care to her every need. As a family, we cannot thank every single person at Ashcroft enough over the years. Every member of staff, nurses, care staff, managers, cooks, cared for her, smiled at her, laughed with her and loved her. Not
a minute passed where my Grandma was lonely. Every person knew how to deal with my Grandma's dementia and knew every aspect of my Grandma's personality and sense of humour. We would always see my Grandma laughing away with staff. As my Grandma's needs changed so did her care. We could not have asked for a better care home or a better people for my Grandma to spend time with. Ashcroft cares about every resident and their families. We were always updated about my Grandma's care. I would highly recommend this care home to anyone and would give reassurance residents are in amazing hands. Activities are planned regularly and residents are encouraged to stay active. This is one amazing place!

The best care home I have ever visited. I have worked in care for over ten years and this one is by far the best I have ever seen.
It has a real sense of community and doesn't feel like a care home it feels more like a holiday resort!
Absolutely fantastic!!

My Mum has been a permanent resident for a month now and has transitioned seamlessly from her previous home (which was out of the area). This is a large bustling home, very friendly with a 'village', community and 'homely' feel to it.


My Mum is very well cared for, all her needs are being met, she

is is spotlessly clean, warm, comfortable, happy and settled. I have no hesitation in recommending Ashcroft.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.779)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.779) 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 33 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 33 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 4.779 for Ashcroft is calculated as follows: ( (308 Excellents x 5) + (70 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 385 Ratings = 4.779
  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 33 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 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2, which has been reached with 33 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.
