  • Ashley Court, Edinburgh
Ashley Court has 50 beautiful single bedrooms all with en-suite facilities. Each bedroom has WiFi, TV, telephone access and a nurse call system, for prompt assistance. The bedrooms are arranged over three floors and each floor has a pantry, kitchen, lounge and other pleasant places to sit and socialise.

On the ground floor, the communal Rose Lounge is at the centre of Ashley Court life, with many activities taking place there as well as in the sunny conservatory, with great views over the city. The garden is also a popular place to sit with a cup of tea, or for activities, weather permitting. Events and activities are hugely enjoyed at Ashley Court and a dedicated team, full calendar and the availability of their own minibus ensures that the level of participation is high.

An excellent Chef and kitchen team offer nutritionally-balanced, freshly prepared meals. The menu changes on a four-weekly cycle and they try to accommodate different tastes and diets as far as possible. Residents choose where to eat. Some people like the privacy of their own room, whilst others enjoy eating together in the dining room, with doors that open out onto the garden.

Review from Sheila D (Wife of Resident) published on 31 October 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband has received the best of care. The staff at the Home have always been very kind, helpful and always come back to me every time I have had any concerns. The food is excellent and my husband's room is kept clean and tidy at all times and is very comfortable. Trips and entertainment are run
regularly. I feel very reassured that I can leave him in excellent hands.
Reply from Julie Kennedy, Marketing Manager at Ashley CourtThank you very much for taking the time to leave your feedback. We are pleased that you feel your husband is receiving the best of care and is enjoying the food.

Review from Sandra H (Daughter of Resident) published on 29 December 2015 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mum has been twice into Ashley Court, the staff are so professional I have chosen to place my mum on the waiting list for residential care. The management take time to know the resident together with their Family and are very friendly, made my mum and the family feel homely. Further respite has
been planned, and hope it is not too long until my mum is safely placed into Ashley Court.


I would like to say a big thank you to the manageress and all her staff.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.909)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.909) out of 10 for Ashley Court 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 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.909 for Ashley Court is calculated as follows: ( (272 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 296 Ratings = 4.909
  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 Ashley Court is based on 25 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 50 registered maximum number of service users is 10, which has been reached with 25 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.
