I think the carers at the home are wonderful, nothing is too much trouble for them whenever I go they are very pleasant, also if they have any concerns they always make a point of having a word with me. If I ever had to go into a home this is the one I would choose.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I spent a lot of time looking for the best possible care home for my mother. Ashworth Grange was way a head in terms of the facilities and built quality. In the three years my mother has been in the home she has been fantastically cared for by all the team. They are proactive and sort any medical issues
immediately without requiring the family to chase. While being in a care home isn't ideal for the person or their family, the team at Ashworth Grange have been wonderful throughout.

Review from Angela F (Daughter of Resident) published on 19 May 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum came into Ashworth Grange Care Home (residential) in November 2015. At first she was very unsure having had a bad experience with my dad who died of dementia 14 years ago and was very badly treated in a different home, not very far from Ashworth Grange. I too worried but my mum is now quite settled
and looked after well.
The staff are lovely to her and understand her needs. My mum had a massive stroke which took all her speech, but is fully understanding and can make her needs known, we are all happy.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mother was admitted into Ashworth Grange over 2 years ago suffering from Lewy Body disease, which is a form of dementia. During this period her condition has slowly gotten worse, until now when she is bed-ridden.
Her care has been excellent, the staff treat my mother with care and dignity. The home
itself is very clean and well maintained, there is also a sensory garden for use in the summer. I would not hesitate in recommending the home for any person with dementia.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The standard of care is excellent.The facilities are also excellent, staff are friendly and caring. However, the billing and administration side of this business is shambolic. Every month the bill is incorrect. Every month a phone call is needed to rectify mistakes. It is not easy to gain access to
a member of staff to deal with these issues. We are very happy with the care and comfort the home provides, but this is undermined every month by billing mistakes.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When I first walked into Ashworth Grange I could not believe how perfect it was (and still can't) It must seem like home from home for the residents. The staff are all so friendly and make you welcome on every visit. My one and only complaint is every time I visit my husband he has always got a lot
of his clothes missing they are not all in the laundry so therefore must be in other residents rooms.

Mum has advanced dementia and has been here for almost three years. She and the other residents are always clean and well dressed reflecting their personalities. She likes the food and has remained healthy. The staff are kind to the residents, helpful and always willing to try to cheery them, providing
drinks and biscuits. The residents are always treated with dignity and respect. The home is bright and cheerful and very clean it is good value.

Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
Overall I think my mother is happy in the care home. However family members feel concern when we have to complain about the cleaning side and replacement of paper towels in the bathroom, the other recurring problem is the commode not being washed after being emptied, the overall cleanliness of the
room is satisfactory but these two things are often overlooked.

Review from May F (Son of Resident) published on 14 February 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
As our mother has Alzheimer's we are completing this on our observations. She is often unkempt with dirty clothes when we visit. Her room is shabby, fridge broken for over 1 year. Although carers seem to care there is often no-one around when we visit (mid-morning) mum has "lost" lots of items including
1 slipper and 1 very expensive pair of spectacles, which we have to replace! Management are great at letting us know when she has a fall or similar. We are concerned about the lack of staff especially as her unit is home to dementia people who do get quite distressed at times and have been violent at items.

I feel that the care my mother receives at Ashworth to be of a very good standard. Carers are kind, helpful and respectful towards her, and always willing to spend the time to have a chat or make mum a drink. I am kept informed of mums well-being in between visits and find Ashworth to be a first class
care home with good food and excellent facilities.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I find it difficult to give an opinion as there are things I am not fully happy with but in general do not affect my wife's care.
A care home can never be a substitute for home, but I viewed the care home (Ashworth Grange) ad a place I would not mind being myself. As I view a place for my wife as it
is a place I would to to and this makes it okay for her.

Mother moved into the home 3 years ago and all times we have found her stay here very good indeed. The carers have been just great with her and looked after her very well. The food has also been very good, she is very picky but always found her something, she could enjoy. Also the management staff have
also been so kind. I am sitting here with her now which might be the last time I spend with her as she has not got long to last now. Everyone is so caring and kind to her, cannot thank the staff enough.

Well looked after by staff. You can talk to staff easy. Management helpful at sorting things out and putting your mind at rest. Ring you and keep you up to date about your relative if they need a doctor of have a problem. You have piece of mind that your relative is looked after.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.702)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.702) out of 10 for Ashworth Grange 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 64 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 64 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 4.702 for Ashworth Grange is calculated as follows: ( (538 Excellents x 5) + (168 Goods x 4) + (25 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 731 Ratings = 4.702
  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 Ashworth Grange is based on 64 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 64 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.
