My family are so pleased we decided to bring my gran to Ashlea Court Care Home. We had such a good feeling when we came to view the home, and all the staff have been welcoming and helpful. Gran is enjoying the activities, and we are pleased to see the events happening for Christmas. Thank you to the
manager and her staff.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From management to domestics are fantastic, I know how difficult it is as I took care of my wife for three years after she had a severe stroke before coming to Ashlea Court Care Home after another stroke.
On Independence Day, the home had a party and that was the first time I saw my wife laughing
and enjoying herself. From them, my wife has been going to the day room, joining in activities from her wheelchair, has taken the staff three years to get my wife to join in.
I can't thank all the staff enough.

My mum moved into Ashlea Court in February 2023 and I cannot fault the care and support she has received so far. All staff are so friendly and welcoming, nothing is ever too much. The home itself is spotless and you can see they take pride in their establishment. My mum's room itself is a great size
with an ensuite, one of the key features she wanted when choosing a nursing home. My mum said the food has been lovely and plentiful tea, coffee and homemade snacks throughout the day so residents are well looked after.

Excellent home, couldn't fault it. The carers, nurses, administrative staff, cleaning staff, everybody treats the residents with care, compassion, respect and dignity. They go beyond the call of duty. Mum has been in Ashlea Court for six months now, and I'm happy to say she is happy and thriving.

After a lengthy stay in hospital, our Mum was admitted to our chosen care home, Ashlea Court. Sadly her time there was too short. During her two-week stay, we were kept updated on her care and well-being. She had dementia, our family are confident that everything was done to ensure she felt relaxed,
comfortable and safe. She was treated with compassion and dignity.

The home is kept clean and I never smell odours to suggest negligence in hygiene. The staff have proved caring and attentive to residents whilst being helpful to relatives. Their record during the months of covid has been excellent. The meals are good and the food plentiful.

My mum has been residing at Ashlea Court for 13 years. During this time she has been cared for with dignity and understanding. Management and staff listen to her concerns with understanding and compassion. Working together as a team has always been my utmost goal since Mum entered the home. The cleaning
staff, laundry staff, cooks have always provided the highest standards throughout the years as have the carers (again teamwork). During lockdown, all measures were adhered to impeccably and continue to be.

My wife has now been in Ashlea Court since the beginning of April 21. From day one to present, I have found the staff (from top to bottom) to be attentive to the needs and requirements of not only my wife as a resident but to me as well. Trusting that this continues.

As a family, we are delighted with the care my papa is receiving at Ashlea Court. He is always very well presented and the staff are always able to answer any questions that we have regarding his care. They treat him with dignity and respect and it is very comforting to know that he is being well looked
after and being treated as an individual.

A big thank you to all the staff team for all the care and attention you give my mum. The manager and her team are always there to welcome us when we visit mum. We get regular telephone calls and emails on all the covid changes. My mum says she loves all the staff and that they are wonderful. My mum
could not be in a better place.

My wife was in your care and I found the home excellent. Staff kept me up to date and I know it would have been easy to nurse her in bed as she needed to be hoisted, but when I came to visit she was up and watching TV. I appreciate the work the staff did as the last home couldn't even take the time
to wash her hair.

My Aunt has been in the home and she's settled in great, staff are fantastic, and she is well looked after, they had a cake for her 100th birthday in April and had balloons and cards, she was very happy, even though she lost her only Daughter (my cousin) last January. They look after her and she's always

Review from Anne Marie M (Partner of Resident) published on 21 June 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My partner went into Ashlea Court on 6th April as he has early-onset Alzheimer's. The decision to put him into a home was the hardest decision I have ever made, but it has been made easier knowing that he is being so well looked after and cared for all the time. The staff are always friendly and accommodating
and are doing all they can to support loved ones both inside and outside the home during this unsettled period of Covid restrictions. My partner always seems content in the home and I know that everyone there is looking out for him, keeping me updated on anything that is happening. I am looking forward to when restrictions are more relaxed so that visits can be a bit more spontaneous and I know the staff will welcome this as well. I am so grateful to you all for looking after him so well. Thank you so much.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.752)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.752) out of 10 for Ashlea Court Care 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 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.752 for Ashlea Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (207 Excellents x 5) + (39 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 258 Ratings = 4.752
  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 Ashlea Court Care Home is based on 22 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 86 registered maximum number of service users is 17.2, which has been reached with 22 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.
