Overall Experience  Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5

A mediocre home of the low to middle distinction. The level of care varies, depending on the quality of daily supervision of each shift. Issues became evident within the first few days that the patient would not receive an acceptable level of personal care. After 2 months, although improved with the
settling in period, the care is still not equal to common practice standards in many practical common sense details. It is also evident that the level of care would not increase with additional cost to the client. In essence, you get what you pay for. Recent renovations to the reception area have improved the appearance of the home. Food served is of a good homely standard and the quantity is sufficient. Staff are kind and have listened to issues raised but the recurrence of some issues become frustrating, which is evident of a lack of reporting these to each shift. The current CQC Report is over 2 years old and a more recent report would undoubtedly raise the standard of the organisation.

This is a five star residential home in relation to the care and empathy shown by every member of the devoted staff. Their kindness, devotion and professionalism are apparent at all times. The accommodation has/is being updated and improved to a good standard. My mother always appears happy and clean,
well fed and attended to. I would recommend this care home to anyone who needs a loving warm environment for their relatives with the medical attention their loved one requires.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.783)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.783) out of 10 for Ashtonleigh 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 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.783 for Ashtonleigh is calculated as follows: ( (120 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 152 Ratings = 4.783

  • 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 Ashtonleigh is based on 13 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 54 registered maximum number of service users is 10.8, which has been reached with 13 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.
