As a resident here, I have completed several reviews for The Ashton. One thing I heard was that the carers, the younger ones especially, regard us residents as an extended family and as such work every bank holiday without any form of a grudge. This attitude makes for a wonderful atmosphere.
We get
superb meals which are to restaurant standard and together make this home a superb place to live.
Well done to all staff.

Reply from Kelly Walker, Regional Director at The Ashton Care Home

Thank you for your kind review. I am very pleased to hear you like staying at The Ashton and you bring entertainment to the rest of the residents living there. We will ensure the staff members are aware of your kind words and thank you once again for taking the time out to review the home.

My long-term partner came to the home approximately 2 months ago. She has had excellent care since arriving as she has an extremely rare illness called Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). They know how to cope with her needs. Overall to date, all has gone well.

My mother moved in about six months ago. My wife and I are always impressed by the caring way not just my mother but other residents are treated. We are very impressed by the amount of activities, shows and trips out that are organised. The staff always contact me if they have any concerns, be it health
or behaviour.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My father, who suffers from Alzheimer's/Dementia, arrived at Ashton Court, having spent over 3 months in hospital in Cornwall. During the out-of-region hospital discharge and transfer process we had excellent support from the Ashton Court Deputy Manager whose help is very much appreciated. Since arriving
at Ashton Court, Dad has settled in wonderfully and is very much being treated as the individual he is. The team looking after Dad are great and many family members have been able to visit him since his arrival. Dad's room has very good facilities and is spotlessly clean. As others have said, when we visited Ashton Court for a tour we were very impressed by the evident care shown by the carers and management. After many stressful days with Dad being in hospital, so far away, we can finally relax in the knowledge that he is in a quality care home, nearby and in safe hands.

Reply from Kelly Walker, Regional Director at The Ashton Care Home

Thank you so much for your lovely review, we appreciate you taking the time to complete it. I am so pleased to hear how well your father has settled, the staff work very hard to ensure people's needs are being met with such care and dignity. We will share the review with the staff at the home.
May I take this opportunity to wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

My dad moved into The Ashton Care Home in March 2023 following several falls and hospital stays, and we all knew that the time had come for him to have 24-hour care and that it was too dangerous for him to live alone at home anymore, despite daily visits from us and district nurses. We were getting
increasingly worried about him being alone at night and in the early mornings, as this was when he inevitably had his falls. He has been given the most marvellous care since he moved in, with a beautiful room looking out onto a little garden view, fabulous food and kindness in every aspect from the wonderful staff and management. There is a wonderful opportunity to join in with all sorts of events and trips at The Ashton, should he wish. When asked recently at his sixth monthly care review if there were any ways they could improve his care, he replied, "It isn't possible! You are all wonderful!" I think that speaks for itself!

Reply from Jack Titterton, Manager at The Ashton Care Home

I pass by and have seen the residents and carers together and heard their chats. Things like 'Did you see such and such on tv?' and 'You're still smoking then?' Just normal chat and not talking down to the residents. On my tour, the manager impressed me by knowing every residents' name and had a chat
with them. This spoke volumes about the way this home is run. My dad moved in, every carer knew him and spoke to him about his likes and dislikes. He is so happy and settled. In my dad's words "It's like living in a Warner Hotel but better because they help me to get showered and dressed. They take away my washing and when they return it they hang it up in the wardrobe." He loves that everyone knows his name and is extremely kind to him. We love it because we are greeted by smiling, friendly staff who seem to really like our dad. Always ready to chat to him. The atmosphere is warm, caring and friendly. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending The Ashton.

Since coming to The Ashton my husband has done so well, with the good help of everyone he has come into contact with. I have respect for the manager, who is very approachable and a caring person, the nurses and carers who take care of him, and all staff. Since being there he has been encouraged to get
out of bed, take part in the activities and has sat in the garden. He is very settled and I would recommend this care home to anyone.

We contacted The Ashton Care Home in desperation as we were at a critical point with my step mother's declining health. My husband and my father visited the home at 10 am on Wednesday 29th March and were greeted with total empathy and care. Having explained the current situation at my parent's residence,
the manager quickly made the decision to get a room ready as soon as possible and was at the house by 11 am to assess my stepmother's needs, advising my husband that he will gain more information from her Doctors and he will be in contact as soon as possible. He contacted us within one hour to let us know we can take her in when she is ready, we were already very impressed. Ashton Care Home sent two ladies to the home to help with the distressing aspect of my stepmother going into their care home and I cannot speak highly enough of them and the manager, we are totally wowed and blown away by their professionalism, empathy, kindness and the natural care they have shown. Thank you.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.823)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.823) out of 10 for The Ashton Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.823 for The Ashton Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (173 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 203 Ratings = 4.823

  • 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 The Ashton Care Home is based on 17 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 72 registered maximum number of service users is 14.4, which has been reached with 17 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.
