My mam stayed in Astune Rise while I went on holiday for a week. The Staff were amazing my mam couldn't of asked for better care and attention from the staff and manager. My mam was so supported by everyone as she has never stayed in a care home before they made her feel comfortable and at ease. I couldn't
of asked for more from these amazing People.
Thank you

Dad was admitted to Astune Rise for palliative care. The staff were just amazing, treating my Dad with care, dignity and respect. I'm sure they'd would be the first to agree, it's not the smartest care home, yet I would much rather have substance over style any day.


As a family, we felt cared for

and supported and importantly, regularly kept informed of Dad's condition. It's sad Dad wasn't well enough to appreciate all that the home had to offer, and he didn't get to experience what a happy, special place it is.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After many years living alone my mother was very reluctant to move into a care home, however, ill health dictated the need for 24/7 support. This care home came highly recommended and I can understand why! Since moving to Atune Rise she has totally transformed. She is making friends and taking part
in ALL activities provided. Her mobility has greatly improved too, she is a much happier and more social version of herself.

My mam has been in Astune Rise for almost 6 months. The staff are all fantastic and deal with the residents with respect. Mam has now made some close friends and seems to be coping much better. The stripper before Valentines day really lightened the mood of the residents.

This home is warm and friendly, excellent care is given 24 hours a day. The staff are so friendly and go above and beyond their duties. Activities are wonderful and the residents are kept busy constantly which is a very important factor to keep them motivated and busy and to have outings to look forward
to, also all families are included in these activities, which is wonderful. I feel happy and confident that mum is very happy, safe and I do not worry about her which is a massive factor for me - thank you.

The manager and staff are wonderful, always helpful and caring. My father has settled in so well, he is loving living at Astune Rise. My mum and family were worried about making the decision of Dad having to go into care, but we didn't need to. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff, they are always
happy and smiling, polite and professional. This care home is not about staff and residents it's one big family.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband was ill for over 2 years with COPD and heart disease. He had good GP care, with ambulatory oxygen from May but deteriorated and was admitted to very busy respiratory wards. He was transferred to Astune Rise Care Home for terminal care and from admission, tensions eased for him and his family.
He had full o2 therapy and six days later died very peacefully after superb care. Family well supported.

Sorry, it's taken so long for this review needed a bit of time. Dad was looked after and cared for exceptionally during his time there. I would like to thank all the staff and manager for everything, for making Dad's stay so comfortable, and for making him smile. Thank you so much, it means a lot.

From the day we made contact nothing was too much trouble. The whole team from the manager to the nursing staff, carers and cleaners made our and our mum's experience better than we had imagined.
During the 3 weeks of end of life care, Mum was treated with respect, dignity and love and we were given
the support and space we needed.
We can't thank the team enough.
We'd recommend Astune Rise to anyone looking for high-quality care with a personal touch.

When our mum was placed on end-of-life care, we were very lucky to find her a place in Astune Rise.
24 hour visiting and the warm welcome we got the first time we viewed the home made our decision very easy.
Mum's life sadly ended after only 3 weeks in the home, but the outstanding care and love
she received from the staff, will remain in our hearts.
Thank you so much to all the team!

My mam went in January 2024 for respite and never came out. She's totally at home and loves the staff who are caring and always go that extra mile to help. She enjoys the meals and always goes on about them. Entertainment is good and enjoys a particular famous fitness instructor. Astune Rise is always
clean I can't thank them enough for how they treat my mam and look after her. Thank you.

Kind caring staff.
Can't do enough for residents and visitors.
Always a cuppa on the go to make you feel less of a visitor and more homely.
Family engagement nights getting everyone involved are always a good laugh and lift spirits.
A clean and tidy environment.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Astune Rise is a 'Home'! My mother became a resident following a stroke. My father went into the home for respite care in October. My father returned home and realised he needed residential care as he needed 24/7 care. Mam and Dad are now permanent residents. They have rooms close together and they
both love the home. The manager is excellent and nothing is too much trouble. I have asked so many questions as I was the sole carer for my parents and I've been given answers. Everyone working in the home is fantastic and in turn, have become 'friends' to my parents. I can not praise this home enough, it is fantastic.

My family and I are delighted with the level of care provided to our relatives. The whole team are friendly, caring and take the time to treat residents as individuals. The activities are fun, well-balanced and inclusive.
Our relatives' health has improved since living at Astune Rise Care Home and
because of the quality of the food, they have put weight on which we are delighted about.
We feel we were lucky to find Astune Rise and we know our relatives are in very good hands.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.856)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.856) out of 10 for Astune Rise 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 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.856 for Astune Rise Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (194 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 222 Ratings = 4.856
  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 Astune Rise Care Home is based on 19 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 38 registered maximum number of service users is 7.6, which has been reached with 19 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.
