This is a comfortable and well-managed home and the staff have the resident's interests at heart. I am very pleased with the care that my father is receiving and it is very reassuring to know that he is in such safe hands.

The home has been in lockdown and this was my first visit. Everything was just as before but there was the added problem due to Coronavirus. However, there was no need to have worried about anything as lockdown had been managed and people can now visit, under certain conditions. So congratulations must
be offered to all at Ashley Court, from the top down, working under very difficult circumstances and coming out with no infections. So thank you, everyone.

I visited my partner today, as they are now allowed visitors at a distance, all the rules were strictly applied. I was very impressed with the way the rules were strictly applied and the kindness shown to both of us. It was lovely for both of us to see each other again. The care couldn't have been better.
My partner looked in good shape and well cared for.

Review from Simon D (Grandson of Resident) published on 13 January 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My grandma was very ill in hospital and was told by the discharge team she needed to find a care home. We were given a list of three and for obvious reasons, we were very nervous because it was a first for all of us. Having visited all three care homes Ashley Court stood out head and shoulders above
the rest with the main difference being the level of care shown during our visit. My Grandma became a resident in November and stayed for six weeks before she finally passed away. I have to say in those six weeks all the staff and management looked after my Grandma with the utmost dignity and treated her as one of their own. I visited the home at least three times a week and on every occasion, she was up, washed, dressed and ready for the day where I'm guessing for someone in their latter years it could have been easier for her to stay in bed. I having nothing but great things to say about this care home and I'd like to say a personal thank you to the manager and her team for just being amazing.

An unfortunate "hiccup" initially was satisfactorily dealt with by all staff starting at the top. Family and friends are happy, my wife could not be in any better accommodation - please keep up the good work.
Her birthday arrangements prove your sincere care and feelings.

I have enjoyed my 2nd stay in the home. Only here for respite so left to my own devices, could come and go as I pleased on days that I was not at the hospital for dialysis. Although I did not need care, what I observed to other clients was excellent. Never smelt unpleasant odours as every corridor has
perfume spray and kitchen/laundry is done in the basement. Staff are all pleasant.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.840)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.840) out of 10 for Ashley Court Care Home 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 61 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 61 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 4.840 for Ashley Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (617 Excellents x 5) + (98 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 724 Ratings = 4.84
  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 Ashley Court Care Home is based on 61 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 61 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.
