Review from Nigel G (Brother of Resident) published on 4 August 2025

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My brother has been a resident almost two years within AYS Colchester. He now regards the home as his home which to all the family is very settling & comforting to know that all his needs are still taken care of in a safe & friendly environment. My brother requires routine which is well appreciated
with activities & meal times. All my visits are met with friendly welcoming staff always offering refreshments. The care manager always communicates any concerns or needs which I need to be aware of. Thanks to all the staff at AYS Colchester for looking after my brother.

Reply from Shalinee Jeewoolall, Director at AYS Care Ltd

It is very friendly and welcoming. Lots of support when I first came here. All staff are helpful. The food is very appetising and is freshly cooked by the cook. There are activities we can do including books for reading, colouring, painting, etch art, puzzles, crosswords, cooking, zumba, gardening,
cultural themed days like Indian day, shopping, radio music, dog therapy, watching TV and having access to premium TV, going to the beach, leisure world, bowling, swimming, going to Christmas markets, Christmas parties and dinners and decorating the Easter bonnet. Family members are very satisfied with the experience at AYS Care. Approachable manager who is always eager to help. Night and Day staff check in on the residents frequently. Pampering by doing hairdressing, manicure and chiropractor. Regular eye tests are conducted. Fluids are always available during the day and jugs are provided in bedrooms every night. The home is very clean and smells nice.

I visited my brother unannounced and I was very welcomed. I had drinks throughout the visit and biscuits. The manager showed me the progress of my brother which was very nice to see. Very happy with the home and staff are friendly.

We are very happy as a family that my mother has been placed in AYS care. They are very caring and supportive and act on feedback. Mum is doing really well there and is the happiest she has been in years. Thank you AYS.

Top notch! Very caring staff and management, unlike many other places I've been to where it's more to do with red tape, looks and money. Both have a number one priority - the patients. This was clear straight away. The place is run professionally, from the cleaners to the cooks to the management.

Hi Andrea, we are incredibly grateful that you took the time to leave us a five-star review. Thank you so much, your feedback helps us improve our service for our valued residents. Kind regards, Director.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My brother was a resident at AYS Care from September to December 2023 following suffering a stroke in December 2022. He spent most of his time up until coming into AYS in hospital and was a very troubled and unhappy person. Unfortunately he lost his life in December 2023 and I can honestly say, he was
his happiest in a long time once in the care of AYS. The communication from staff was faultless and I felt that my brother was safe and cared for at all times. I would like to thank AYS for the brilliant care right up to and even following my brother's death.

My brother has settled very well in the home. The staff are very attentive and caring. It's a relief for us as his family to know that he is safe and well cared for. It is a smaller home with few residents, which is perfect for my brother and his situation. How he feels is taken into consideration,
this is important for residents with mental health issues.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.800)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.800) out of 10 for AYS Care Ltd is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.900 for AYS Care Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (90 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 100 Ratings = 4.9

  • b) 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 4.9 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for AYS Care Ltd is based on 9 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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 = 3.9

    • ii) 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 8 registered maximum number of service users is 1.6, which has been reached with 9 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
