Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I cannot thank Ashfield Care Home enough for the exceptional care my mum received during her two-week stay for respite. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make her feel comfortable and well-cared for. Every single member of the team was friendly, compassionate, and genuinely
dedicated to providing the best care possible.
The attention to detail was remarkable - my mum was treated with dignity, respect, and kindness at all times. The staff took the time to understand her individual needs and tailored her care accordingly. I always felt reassured knowing she was in such capable hands.
What truly stood out was the genuine warmth and attentiveness of the team. They didn't just meet her needs - they anticipated them. Whether it was making sure she had everything she needed or simply offering a friendly chat to brighten her day, the staff went the extra mile every time.
I would 100% recommend Ashfield Care Home to anyone in need of respite care. The service

Review from A T (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 April 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After a long hospital stay our Mum was needing more care that we couldn't provide in her own home. We knew Ashfield was the place we wanted Mum to go to and luckily they had a room available. After an initial visit we knew right away that it was for Mum.
The homely and welcoming feel was perfect.
Every single member of staff went out of their way to make Mum's stay as comfortable as possible. It felt like home.
Unfortunately Mum only had a short stay but, in her final hours, the whole process was tentatively dealt with. We were well supported and guided through to the end. We cannot praise them enough for helping us throughout. Amazing isn't a big enough word to use to describe this wonderful place but it is AMAZING. Thank you Ashfield

"We're not posh but we're a home!" This was the comment from one of the managers that convinced me that Ashfield was the best place for my Mum to live and I never regretted the decision over the seven years she was there. The staff are wonderful, caring, well trained and make great effort to get to
know all the residents individually and get the best out of them. The food is excellent, the rooms are warm and comfortable, and there is a wide range of activities arranged for the residents to keep them stimulated. Medical care is meticulously managed and a close but discreet eye kept to ensure welfare. Support and information for family members is also excellent and staff are keen to work with relatives to ensure the best life for the residents. The atmosphere in the place is genuinely one of a large family. Several staff visited my mum in hospital during her final days and the fact that half a dozen of them attended her funeral I thought spoke volumes.

Review from A F (Son of Resident) published on 30 October 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The team at Ashfield Nursing and Residential Home came across as very caring in how they interacted with the residents. From caring for their eating and healthcare needs to just having a short conversation with them, so that they felt they were part of a "family". This caring extended to how they supported
the family in providing updates and assistance on their family member so that they always felt they knew how their loved one was. The holistic approach to caring for their residents was clearly demonstrated by their proactive help to the family with dealing with health and financial issues. It made it so much easier to have someone covering your back and giving good advice when dealing with the various outside agencies. Finally when my mother passed their response was one of kindness and care for both the resident and the family. It made my mother's last years comfortable and took away the worries.

That was a pleasure to read, I will pass this on to the team who will likely feel the same. Thank you for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review.

Easy to deal with and very friendly and caring the staff are second to none.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I would recommend Ashfield over many of the more expensive care homes you might visit. Some of these places advertise such facilities as cinemas or restaurants. However, at Ashfield, they spend money on care and the quality of their staff. My mother, who suffered from dementia, spent the last three
years of her life at Ashfield and could not have been better looked after. The staff are committed and professional, but most importantly are extremely kind.

I cannot fault in any way my mother's care, from the cleaning staff, entertainment staff, kitchen staff, nursing staff and management, all worked together as a team and genuinely seemed to care about their roles.
On visiting the welcome by all was lovely, just felt like visiting Mum in her own home,
can't be better than that.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.600)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.600) out of 10 for Ashfield Nursing & Residential 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 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 8 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 4.800 for Ashfield Nursing & Residential Home is calculated as follows: ( (77 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 95 Ratings = 4.8
  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 4.8 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Ashfield Nursing & Residential Home is based on 8 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 = 3.8
    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 32 registered maximum number of service users is 6.4, which has been reached with 8 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.
