My brother was transferred to Askham Hall in early March 2025 & I have made regular telephone calls asking after him and have made 3 visits so far...
First impression of community buildings - what a lovely place!
On my visits I found all the staff very welcoming, friendly, helpful and caring. There
were some difficult challenges to deal with regarding my brother's early days in the home and I had no problem believing that these were handled most professionally.

We were recommended by friends and the recommendations have turned out to be good. It's always a difficult decision to admit a loved one to a care home, but we do not regret taking it.

Unfortunately, we have now lost our beloved mother who spent her last seven years of her life in Askham Hall's care. We were so impressed with Askham, we chose to hold her Wake there so staff could say their final goodbyes.
Reply from Mavrick Leveille, Associate Director of Operations and Quality at Askham Hall

First and foremost, we wish to extend our deepest sympathies to you and your family during this difficult time. Losing a loved one is never easy, and we share in your sorrow. The passing of your beloved mother has left a void in the hearts of everyone at Askham Hall. She was a cherished member of our community, and her gentle spirit touched the lives of many within these walls. It was a profound honour to host her wake, providing a space for all who loved her to gather, remember, and celebrate her remarkable life. Your family's steadfast support and generosity have left a lasting impact on us, reinforcing the values of care and compassion that we hold dear. Her legacy will forever be a part of Askham Hall. We are deeply grateful for the privilege of knowing her and for the trust you placed in us. Our thoughts remain with you and your family, as we reflect on the joy and kindness your mother brought into our lives. Thank you.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.541)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.541) out of 10 for Askham Hall is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.541 for Askham Hall is calculated as follows: ( (126 Excellents x 5) + (90 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 222 Ratings = 4.541
  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 Askham Hall is based on 19 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 27 registered maximum number of service users is 5.4, which has been reached with 19 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.
