Both staff and surroundings meant that my mum's time at Ashton Lodge was dignified. The staff genuinely care about those in their care and this showed in their attention to mum. They took the time to listen and sometimes just sat and held her hand.

The home is very clean and tidy.
It is warm and welcoming and comfortable. The staff are all very kind and caring and go out of their way to help.
Residents and visitors are treated well by the staff who are all very friendly.
There was recently a 'party' for the residents and their family and
friends and lots of effort and planning went into this. The staff made such an effort lots of them coming in on their days off to make sure the residents had a nice time. There was lots of food and entertainment for everyone to enjoy.
Thank you for everything you do!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Uncle went to Ashton Lodge about 3 years ago. He had just had a bout of pneumonia and had been in hospital. Due to this, his dementia got worse and he had lost the use of his legs. After about a week, I asked him whether he was being looked after well and he said yes, he said he was happy. My
Uncle was attended to regularly, his room was always spotless and the Care Workers treated him as well as could be expected. His room was also spacious and he had an en-suite bathroom. This is a place where the Care Workers genuinely care about those they are trusted to look after. Everything was thought of and everything was done for my Uncle. I cannot fault Ashton Lodge.

I can highly recommend the nursing home where my husband, who was suffering from dementia and was wheelchair-bound, was a resident for over 3 years.


The nurses and carers gave my husband outstanding care during the difficult time where he was there. They were patient, kind and attentive to his needs.


The

home is modern, clean and has a very pleasant atmosphere.

My husband had a stroke in February 2017 and he was in hospital for two months. We chose Ashton Lodge, recommended by a friend. In the last five months, he has recovered well, he is very alert because of the good care received at Ashton Lodge.


The manager as well as nursing staff, carers, activity

co-ordinators are all amazing and very dedicated to their job. They are supportive to the family as well. There are lots of activities going on and in a calm atmosphere. Prayers are held and there are some visits from church people.

My 91year old aunt has been in Ashton Lodge for nine months. To say she loves it in the home is really not exaggerating. She is so well cared for and truly happy.
Daily activities and friends she has made, not forgetting the delightful staff, all help her to pass the day in a very contented way.
Whenever I visit she is always clean, smiling and with someone.
I felt I had to write this little review with all the bad press the UK care home system is receiving at the moment.
There are some caring homes out there and this is surely one of them.
I have to say my aunt is self-funded but I truly don't believe this is the reason my aunt is receiving such good treatment.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I cannot speak too highly of the Management and staff at Ashton Lodge for the way they handled my friend's arrival.


My initial feeling, that he would get excellent care in a lively atmosphere where quality of life is important and love and understanding the guiding principles, was more than borne

out by events.


My friend has poor sight and is very frail from malnutrition. Previous experiences made it hard for him to adjust to his new home and trust the people caring for him.


I really appreciated the way this challenging period was managed, especially that everyone was completely open to taking advice from me who knows him well to combine with their own experience and observations. It was great to feel part of a team with professional caring people who understand the importance of getting to know the person in their care.


And it worked wonders. My friend said recently "We have reached sanctuary." and "We can look forward to merrier times." Yes we can, thanks to Ashton Lodge!

Ashton Lodge has always been a very friendly and approachable care home. Atmosphere fantastic, office staff down to earth and the wonderful carers have been wonderful and kind to my mother and our family.
The new manager has even made a bigger impact on the home, improving it even more.
I am so
glad I made the decision to put my beloved mother there and know she is in safe caring hands.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The staff at Ashton Lodge have been so kind and considerate for my mother who is 88 years and blind. She has been here almost one year and certainly makes her feel homely and part of an extended family. Sometimes the staff don't pick the phone up especially over the weekends when family members call
to ask about the resident. More Gujarati speaking staff would be helpful as there are quite a few Gujarati residents.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.800)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.800) out of 10 for Ashton Lodge 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 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 4.800 for Ashton Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (226 Excellents x 5) + (52 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 280 Ratings = 4.8
  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 Ashton Lodge is based on 23 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 93 registered maximum number of service users is 18.6, which has been reached with 23 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.
