My dad joined her 3 months later with complicated and serious health conditions. When I go and visit I'm amazed how happy, content and comfortable they are. I am an only child and it could have been a very lonely experience but, the Boulters Lock Residential Home team have been an extension of my family.
No one really wants any relative to have to go into care but, for those that are looking for the first time, don't be scared. Boulter's Lock is a home, the staff really do care and they are here to support you and your relative.
As my parents enter this emotional time, they do it together under the roof of family and friends and I'm ever so grateful for that.

We love that you consider us an extension of your family - that is what we strive for at Boulters Lock. We shall pass on your kind comments to the rest of the team.

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.756) out of 10 for Boulters Lock Residential Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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 4.756 for Boulters Lock Residential Home is calculated as follows: ( (164 Excellents x 5) + (39 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 209 Ratings = 4.756
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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Boulters Lock Residential Home is based on 17 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 + 0.1 = 4
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 32 registered maximum number of service users is 6.4, which has been reached with 17 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.

Hi,
I'm Ashleigh and I started my care journey at Boulters Lock in 2009, working as a kitchen assistant.
My career progressed into the role of care assistant, then on to senior care assistant - during which time I completed my NVQ 3. In December 2022 I was promoted to the position as Deputy Manager, and worked towards completing my NVQ 5.
Since becoming Home Manager I have been working alongside the team to achieve new goals and improve the service we provide to our residents.
I aim to ensure residents have a smile on their faces and are kept safe.
We look forward to seeing you at Boulters Lock!
