Ashley Court Care Home has been exemplary in showing care for my mother after she had a stroke. The staff are kindness itself and she has made considerable improvement under their care. She has a lovely room which is always kept very clean and fresh and there are always kind touches like keeping her

My brother was a resident here for 3 months for end of life care. He had a sunny, bright room with cheerful caring staff. As a family, we could not have asked for more. Thank you to all staff for showing such care and dignity during a very difficult time.

Not happy with the laundering. Not happy when I find my husband in other people's clothes. Not often, but it does happen.

A wonderfully supportive home and all staff had huge empathy with residents and family members. I was always made to feel welcome whenever I visited and offered a cup of tea! The home is immaculately clean and the standard of care could not be better. The patient staff ratio particularly impressive.
A very warm and caring environment.

My father went to Ashley Court from hospital, the family found them to be most caring and understanding of my father's care. Unfortunately, my father was only there for a week and a half before he passed away, but during his time there he was very well looked after and I would recommend Ashley Court.

I think that the staff do all that they can, because my father is nearly always in bed because of pressure sores. He does seem to injure his arms a lot because he is always on the move, even in bed.
He thinks he is at work even though he is in bed and cannot walk away anymore which makes it difficult
for the staff because he thinks they are trying to stop him from working.

Review from Margaret G (Sister of Resident) published on 11 April 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My sister has been a resident of Ashley Court for 2 1/2 years where she has found love and care from every member of staff, from kitchen staff through to nursing care.
This has truly been home from home for her and she has been extremely happy.
Sadly she has just passed away but even in their sadness
at losing her they could not be faulted. They were caring and organised and treated arrangements and family with dignity and love.
I would like to think that if I ever needed residential care I would be placed in a home like this one.

The care given to residents is first class. Management and carers are extremely caring and friendly. They treat the residents like family. They show great respect and kindness to all residents. It is heartbreaking to have to place a loved one in a home and it is reassuring to see the care and support
given to residents and resident's relatives. I visit my husband every day and it is comforting to see he is receiving the best possible care.

It took us a long time to find the right home for my husband, but we knew this was the one. He took a time to settle and is now very happy. All staff are great. My husband loves the food. I'm very happy that he is here, safe and sound.


Many thanks.

My father has recently moved to Ashley Court where he is now a resident. Although he has deteriorated with his health, the staff have shown so much care and understanding towards him and his needs. They are also so supportive with us all as a family, showing us compassion and strength.
I would not
hesitate to recommend Ashley Court to anyone who is looking for 'outstanding' care for an elderly relative.

We were told by the hospital that Mum needed to go into a acre home. I am so glad that we chose Ashley Court. All the staff are really lovely and the staff to resident ratio is fantastic.
They can't do enough to help you.
Mum is gluten free and they have even got special biscuits in just for her.
Well
done to everyone.

My mum was a resident in Ashley Court Care Home for 2 and a half years. The care she received was excellent. The staff were caring, kind, considerate and my mum was treated with dignity at all times. The home is bright and airy. The activity staff were wonderful. I will definitely recommend the home.

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.
