Review from T G (Daughter of Resident) published on 1 September 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum has settled very well into the care home due to the quality of care and support she has received. She has built up positive connections with the staff caring for her and other residents, which has been wonderful to see! Mum really enjoys the activities and meals each day - both are great opportunities
for socialising and stimulation. From my first visit, I felt the care home had a 'family' feel to it and was the right place for mum to be - our experience fully reflects this. I am so grateful for the support, care and experiences that mum is receiving at Ashbourne Court.

Overall impression of staff, from reception, management, to care assistance and nursing staff is overwhelmingly positive. To put it simply, it's clear they care about the welfare of the residents. Where it lets itself down, in activities, many don't seem to happen, there are not that many or a good
range.

My mother has had two weeks of post op respite. The team of staff nurses, manager, healthcare assistants and caring staff have all been kind, caring, professional and offer a safe environment for individualised care. The team of activities coordinators made every effort for my mum to join in meaningful
activities. Thank you so much.

The care at Ashbourne Court was very good on the dementia floor. The team are excellent. The furniture and sanitary ware are a bit tired and I found the new management company unpleasant and uncaring after my mother died. I worry that this new company will adversely affect the reputation of Ashbourne.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I would highly recommend this care home to anyone seeking care for their loved ones. My Mum has been a resident for just over a year and all the staff have been amazing with her.
She looks healthier than she has in years now she is eating well and after being lonely living at home she now has friends
and is always chatting away with someone or joining in the activities.
She did not want to be in a care home, but her dementia meant it was necessary. Making that decision for a loved one is incredibly hard, but the team at Ashbourne also helped me on that journey and I can't thank them enough.
My Gran was also at Ashbourne for several years.

We have found the care and dedication of all the to be exceptional standard. The nurse in charge of my mother's care keeps us regularly updated on our mother's health and well-being.
The manager and his team are all friendly and helpful.
The home is kept spotlessly clean with a homely and friendly

My wife is well looked after with respect and dignity. The staff keep us up-to-date even though we are in every day, they still keep us all informed. The home is clean and the staff lovely and caring. She is unable to participate in activities but there is always something going on. She is quite poorly
and we are very happy that she is being looked after so well.

Mum is being well looked after. She is kept nice and clean, her general health is being closely monitored and the family get regular telephone updates, which we appreciate.
The home provide a lot of varied activities which we would like Mum to
participate in. The staff also share this desire and actively provide her with a lot of encouragement to become involved.

My mother who has dementia, has been at Ashbourne Court for about 16 months. After a two-week visit for respite care, we saw how well she settled and decided that it was the right kind of environment for her long-term care. The staff are very caring and take very good care of her. She is very content
in her surroundings and enjoys the activities which are varied and well organised. The food is very good, nutritious and varied and Mum is very much a fan. The nursing team always keep me up to date with any medical developments and I feel that she is in a safe and trusted environment which caters very well for her needs.

My auntie was a resident of Ashbourne Court for sixteen months and has recently passed away. During her stay she was given excellent first-class care and was treated with dignity and respect by all the staff and carers.
Any medical needs were dealt with immediately with the family always informed and
kept up to date.
I cannot thank all of the staff at Ashbourne Court enough for their care, help and commitment. Thank you.

My mother has been a resident of the home for 1 year she absolutely loves it. It was difficult for the first couple of days, but since then, she has been adamant she is not moving again. The staff are fantastic and she thinks of them as her family. My mother has dementia but feels totally at home. My
mum's room is beautiful, clean the food is very good and the activity team are great. We held a birthday party last year with all the residents invited, and the support from the activities manager was amazing. 100% recommend this home

Ashbourne Court Care Home is very helpful and stepped in over a weekend to support my elderly grandmother when no other care home within a 30 mile radius (40+) would help.
The team are very friendly and provides an excellent and attentive level of care.
My grandmother had never been in a care home
setting before and was made at home which helped her to settle in very well.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.700)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.700) out of 10 for Ashbourne Court Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.700 for Ashbourne Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (178 Excellents x 5) + (53 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 240 Ratings = 4.7
  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 Ashbourne Court Care Home is based on 20 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 64 registered maximum number of service users is 12.8, which has been reached with 20 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.
