Staff are obliging and go out of their way to facilitate requests. Family member treated with dignity and respect. Not able to review facilities, food and drink or activities as not in the home due to COVID. Food and drink appears to be varied.

Review from Hazel C (Daughter of Resident) published on 19 March 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father has only been a resident of Ashlea for about 5/6 weeks. The staff have been fantastic in keeping us informed on how my father is doing during lockdown. We have visited twice for a window visit and he looked very settled and happy with the nursing staff that came in during the visit. Managed
to get in for an inside visit last week and the staff were great doing the LFT and letting me in for a visit. During the visit my dad looked well looked after in himself and happy with his room. Spoke to staff while there about my dad and nothing seemed too much trouble for them to help my dad feel at home.

Review from Christine M (Wife of Resident) published on 5 February 2021 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since my husband became a resident in Ashlea Court in January 2020, I quickly became aware of the high level of compassionate and professional care extended to residents (and by extension to family). When deemed necessary, medical help is immediately on hand via a nurse and the local surgery. Staff
are always amenable to answering phone calls from me, offering support and encouragement to me in the absence of internal visiting. (Covid-19.) Under excellent management, the staff have shown exceptional dedication in their care, enabling a family atmosphere to prevail. Activities continue, engaging and entertaining their 'family'. Thank you.

My Father has been a resident in Ashlea Court Care Home in Ashgill near Larkhall for nearly 2 years. Our family is very happy with the care he is receiving. The staff are very friendly and helpful. They are very good at communicating with us particularly during this time of us being unable to make normal
visits. They keep us up to date on any changes to health and wellbeing situations. We would highly recommend this care home if you are looking for a homely and friendly place for your loved ones to live in their older years.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The care my mom has received since she came in the home has been excellent. The staff and management have always kept me informed on mom's wellbeing. Before covid, many times I arrived at the home unannounced. I found my mom to be clean at all times and she was always well-nourished and hydrated. There
was always plenty of activities going on and a good atmosphere going on. The bedroom was always clean and tidy. The staff are caring and attentive to the residents and provide reassurance to people with dementia. The home is well run and I would recommend it to anyone.

Over the years I have built up a sense of trust with the staff and management of this care home, and I am happy to reinforce that trust in a positive manner in this review. My family and I greatly appreciate not only the care our relative receives but also the regular contact regarding health and treatment
etc. All this from an interested and dedicated staff who continue to show remarkable resourcefulness in these unprecedented times. Thank you!

Review from George P (Husband of Resident) assisted by family/friend published on 1 February 2021 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Prior to March 2020, I visited daily for years since then due to Covid-19, I have not visited. Aged 88, I am hopeful to be vaccinated within the next three to four weeks and if conditions allowed, I would visit again. Since March my daughter has been in daily contact by telephone with your staff who
have been extremely helpful in advising my wife's condition which she relays to me, which is most reassuring.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We are very happy knowing that the staff are mindful of our situation and contact us on a regular basis regarding welfare and health issues. This last year has been difficult for us and no doubt the staff, but knowing that my father is safe and well taken care of by great staff, eases the worry a little.
We look forward to the day we can thank you all face to face. Your efforts are greatly appreciated by us, thank you all.

The ratings refer to only areas which I can comment on because I have not personally experienced all of them. All I can say is that my mum feels happy, safe and well looked after and I can only sincerely thank all involved in her care.

I am so happy we chose Ashlea Court Care Home for respite for our beloved mother. Was only supposed to be there for one month and ended up going for eight months due to Covid. She became part of the family and was extremely happy. Management, carers, domestic staff, chef etc took amazing care of our
mam. Her room was always spotless as so was she and loved getting pampered by the truly amazing team.

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.
