Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am a live-in carer, my client got a place in your care home to be nearer to family. I went over to see how they were settling in. My first impression was a very friendly and calming place. Beautiful surroundings. Everyone was so friendly, no one was in a panic. The decor was second to none and a lot
of activity for all to do. Had a lovely two days and left my client (friend) very happy and so were they.

The staff on the ground floor are amazing. So kind and caring. The food is lovely and there are non-stop activities. Whenever we visited they offered us refreshments. We really enjoyed sitting in the beautiful garden with all the residents when visiting. The medical and nursing care are always spot
on, as well as the emotional care. Can't fault it!

The care and service at Ashlands are first class! Absolutely, all the staff were wonderful with Mum, so caring and kind. The manager, accountant, receptionists, carers and everyone involved in the running of the centre are very professional and communicative, providing regular email updates. The daily
activities and events are well thought out, and Mum raved about the fabulous meals provided. Mum's carers were wonderful, taking time to sit with her, talk to and comfort her when she needed it. I can't speak highly enough of Mum's time at Ashlands.

The care my mother has received at Ashlands Manor has been excellent. The staff are professional, attentive, and friendly. They welcomed my mother when she first arrived and helped her to settle in quickly. They have a wonderful rapport with her and tailor-make the support to fit her needs. She has
been noticeably less anxious and more content since she came to Ashlands which in turn has been immensely reassuring for her family.

I would recommend and commend without hesitation the caring, professional and thoughtful staff at Ashlands Manor Care Centre which includes carers, catering, cleaning, hospitality, activities, admin, reception and DIY staff, visiting hairdressers and the management, especially during the difficult last
few years of the pandemic. My parents lived initially on the residential floor and then on the nursing care floor. My dad passed away in hospital and my mum passed away at the home where she was given excellent end of life care by all levels of staff, in particular, the nursing staff who displayed the utmost professionalism, love and gentle humour and they also supported our family. Ashlands have strategies to care for their residents treating them as individuals and considering their exact and changing needs and they are very approachable if there are any concerns. The home has a happy, sociable and relaxed atmosphere. Thank you so much Ashlands Manor Care Centre.

Mum has been in Ashlands since March and has settled in very well. Her room is perfect for her and the staff have gone over and above to get to know her. The activities that mum has been doing have really brought her out of herself and helped her get to know other residents. Mum has found her new home.

My mother has been a resident for a while and the staff at Ashlands Manor have been consistently excellent in providing a warm and caring environment. Recently they have also been very helpful in facilitating my visits while still maintaining covid safety protocols. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

My father receives excellent care and support. He enjoys participating in the activities programmes, and he seems very happy and content at Ashlands. The staff (carers, receptionists, and support staff) are always very helpful and communicative. Communication from management is less good, and there
have been times during the pandemic when communication was confusing or non-existent.
Reply from Dawn Collett, Commissioning Director at Ashlands Manor Care Centre

Thank you for taking the time to review our home. I apologise that you feel the communication has been less than good at times during the pandemic, I will certainly feed this back to the team. However, I am delighted your father is very happy and content at Ashlands.

My husband appears happy and well cared for. Home is always clean and tidy, as is my husband and his room. My only quibble is about communications. I find it highly impossible to phone and receive a reply, so I have given up trying. I would suggest more phones available and a longer time slot available.

My mu is very settled and happy in Ashland Manor. The environment is a home from home set-up, which is what the transition for my mum into residential care was stress-free for all concerned. As it's a purpose-built dementia care home, my mum enjoys the freedom to walk around unhindered and has her "own"
routine, rather than being forced into a stressful regime. The carers are kind, patient and tolerant, which is why my mum is so very happy.

On arrival at Ashlands Manor, my mum was quite weak, tired and undernourished. After only a couple of weeks, my mum is noticeable stronger, more energised and eating and drinking well. In short, much healthier than she has been in a while. The care and attention from the staff is excellent from getting
my mum her favourite foods to encouraging her to join in with activities. A big thank you to care team and all of the team for the care, patience and respect given.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.779)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.779) out of 10 for Ashlands Manor Care Centre 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 36 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 35 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 4.779 for Ashlands Manor Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (362 Excellents x 5) + (58 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (8 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 430 Ratings = 4.779
  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 Ashlands Manor Care Centre is based on 35 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 57 registered maximum number of service users is 11.4, which has been reached with 35 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.

Octavia Ndlovu

Job Title: Home Manager

Hello, my name is Octavia, and I’m delighted to introduce myself as the newly promoted Home Manager at Ashlands Manor Care Centre. I began my journey in healthcare back in 2000 as a student nurse, and since qualifying, I’ve had the opportunity to work in a variety of clinical settings, including Intensive Care, medical and surgical wards, primary care, and corporate health. Six years ago, I moved into health and social care—and I haven’t looked back since. Working in a care home environment has been incredibly rewarding, and it’s where I’ve truly found my passion. I have a strong interest in end-of-life care and dementia support, and I find deep fulfilment in helping residents live with dignity, comfort, and connection. Before joining New Care, I held roles as a Unit Manager and also acted as Deputy Manager, which gave me valuable experience in leading care teams and maintaining high-quality care standards. When I discovered New Care, I immediately felt aligned with their values and vision. Their commitment to person-centred care, delivered in beautifully designed and engaging environments, is something I’m proud to be part of. Ashlands Manor is a truly special place, and I feel honoured to lead such a dedicated and compassionate team. In my new role as Home Manager, I remain committed to supporting both residents and staff, fostering a culture of respect, kindness, and excellence. I look forward to continuing this journey and ensuring that Ashlands remains a place our residents are proud to call home.
