First class and person-centred. After our mother's needs significantly changed from her hospital admission, the care home she was in could not meet her needs. Our beloved mam was moved to Aster on leaving hospital where she spent her final days wrapped in the dignity and respect that her previous care
home had not offered. The staff all go above and beyond their roles to offer a holistic approach. Nothing was ever a bother to support their residents or the families at such an awfully difficult time for us. Aster seems amazingly managed at all levels which reflects with the staff that you meet.
We would highly recommend it.

During my time at Aster Care home in Middlesbrough, I feel safe, treated very well, and politely. The facilities are very good, all carers, admin, management are very nice to you and treat you with respect. There is always something happening activity-wise, but we need a subscription tv sports channel,
also the food is a very good standard.

My time here was fantastic. Every member of staff was caring, respectful, and just genuinely nice people. You can't ask for more pleasant staff. When the CQC came to see the place they never spoke to me or the majority of residents. It wasn't a fair inspection.

Reply from Daniel Hart, Manager at Aster Care

Thank you for such a kind review, it was a pleasure to manage you and you're greatly missed but we're so pleased you're back in the community, we look forward to seeing you when you visit, myself and all the team wish you well.

My mother spent the last two weeks of her life at the home during that time she was cared for with dignity, excellent care and everyone had time to chat to her to and to feel at home. When it was difficult to visit.

I live away so have not seen my uncle for several months. The home took my temp asked several questions about my health before I was given my things I had to put on. The manager gave me an update and directed me to the room for my visit. My uncle was waiting for me. He looked lovely, he commented how
nice the home was and the staff and manager were very accommodating.

Fabulous home, very responsive and approachable staff. Lovely, friendly environment for my brother. Care is outstanding and always happy with the staff. Food is varied and again, my brother enjoys his meals. A very homely place to visit and always made very welcome. Overall, a lovely place.

I come and see my mother all the time here. She loves it here. She gets all the help she needs and the staff are brilliant with her. She wouldn't go anywhere else.

They were looking after my dad and my mam. My dad, however, passed away but they showed so much care, compassion and love for him and they still continue to do so with my mam.

Reply from Mandy Cooper, Manager at Aster Care

Thank you so much for this review. It was a pleasure looking after your dad he was such a character, and your mum is a dream to care for, thank you once again. Kind regards, Mandy and all the team at Aster.

I would like to compliment Aster Care, Middlesbrough my sister was a resident at this home from November 2017 until she passed away in February 2019. The treatment and care she received from all the staff and management of the home was exceptional. The day to day care, the activities, organised events
and trips, ensured that the last 16 months of her their life were exceptionally well catered for, emotionally and medically. The home has a dedicated under 55 wing so they were with people of their own age which improved their overall quality of life.
Moving relations into a care home especially those that are under 55years can be a traumatic situation not only for the person going into the home but the remaining family members as well.
The management and staff are well aware of this make do everything than can to make the transition as smooth as possible. The more information you can provide to the caregivers enhances the service provided.
I would highly recommend Aster Care.

Current Review Score: 8.9 (8.918)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.9 (8.918) out of 10 for Aster Care is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.2 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 15 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.183 for Aster Care is calculated as follows: ( (155 Excellents x 5) + (19 Goods x 4) + (21 Satisfactorys x 3) + (10 Poors x 2) + (24 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 229 Ratings = 4.183

  • b) 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 4.735 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Aster Care is based on 15 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 102 registered maximum number of service users is 20.4. 15 Positive Reviews ÷ 20.4 = 0.735

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
