Mum came to Ashlington Grange Care Home in March following a continued health care review release from a stroke unit. Mum had amazing care throughout her time here. Everyone was friendly & professional. Her care has been second to none & we would willingly recommend the nursing home to others. We felt
very supported by the manager & all the staff.

I/we visit my cousin who has been a resident in Ashington Grange for quite a number of years. I visit about every four to fie weeks. I have always found the staff here to be very, very pleasant and helpful and there always seems to be a happy atmosphere. All around with both residents and also the staff.

There is a lovely warm welcoming atmosphere with an excellent staff/resident ratio. Cleanliness is clearly a high priority and there is no unpleasant odour. Some of the rooms are rather bare and could be personalised more. There is an imaginative range of activities and enthusiasm for considerably more.

Reply from Julie Caygill, Hospital Liaison Team Administrator at Ashington Grange Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to submit a review. We appreciate you highlighting the areas where you feel we have done well and we will continue to build on these successes. We understand that some rooms may appear more bare than others, but residents are welcome to decorate and personalise their rooms however they wish. We will revisit this with the residents to reinforce the message and offer support in personalising their rooms where needed.

The care for my mother is excellent. They keep me in touch with her needs and always welcome my visits. The catering is also excellent and the home is in a very good and clean condition.
The staff are always pleasant, caring and patient.
They organise many events and outings when possible and give
a caring environment for their residents. My mother has dementia and I am glad I was able to get her into Ashington Grange and would highly recommend it.

Delighted to hear from my friend who I took out today about how much she had enjoyed the group quiz that was organised discussing where everyday expressions came from. An intelligent lady, my friend really needs mental stimulation and conversation which stimulates her to feel alive. She doesn't participate
in group activities but get her brain working and she is thrilled. More please!

I visited my aunt on the 4th September 2024 and was totally amazed at the change in her. She has gone from being very downcast and quiet to becoming very chatty and happy. Apart from talking about the delicious food (she used to just pick at meals). She continually spoke about all the lovely kind staff
that help her. She also told me about all the entertainment she does to (she is 99 years old, deaf and blind). So I would personally like to thank everyone for making an old lady very happy.

I am impressed by the ambience and relaxed atmosphere. I am of an age that could well have been a resident. This could be a daunting prospect but I feel that this is a place I could choose if my independence was lost.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.631)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.631) out of 10 for Ashington Grange Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 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 4.631 for Ashington Grange Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (235 Excellents x 5) + (104 Goods x 4) + (13 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 352 Ratings = 4.631

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Ashington Grange Care Home is based on 29 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 59 registered maximum number of service users is 11.8, which has been reached with 29 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.
