On the whole we are very satisfied re the care of my mother. The staff have cared well for her, recognising when she has been ill and needed medical attention. My mother seems to be happy here. The staff are always friendly and approachable. The only query I would have is there seems to have been an
almost full change of management and staff, with no apparent reason or explanation.

Staff at Ashby Lodge are beyond caring, every time I visit they are so welcoming and are always on hand to help! The bedrooms are nice and the whole home is very homely with a lovely garden. The manager is absolutely amazing and answered the door with a smile and was always on hand, which is part of
the reason why we chose the home. The meals although home-cooked didn't look the best and the portion sizes were quite small.

My mum has settled in really quickly into the home all thanks to the wonderful, caring and friendly staff. I have peace of mind knowing she is looked after so well. Laundry and food is excellent, rooms warm and cosy.

Over the period of ten days, my younger sister and I spent time in Ashby Lodge, visiting a particularly difficult sibling, which meant that we got real firsthand insight into the facility. We are pleased to say that we were very impressed! We found it to be warm and bright, (even in British weather)
and very clean. We found the staff, to be professional, pleasant and compassionate. They treated all the patients with a lot of care and understanding and we could not have wished for a better situation for our sibling under the circumstances, thank you!

Staff always friendly. The home always nice and clean, staff play different games to entertain the residents. Sit in the garden when weather permits. Residents have choice in their meals. Auntie quite happy living here. Can't answer value as we don't pay the bill, another family member pays.

We are so pleased with Ashby Lodge. The management and all of the staff are excellent. My mum came during covid and all the staff helped her settle. She has been here over a year and nothing is too much trouble. The management and staff are a pleasure to deal with and nothing is too much trouble. Liaison
is excellent and we are always welcome. We feel the care is excellent, just what anybody would want for their elderly parent. Many thanks to all from a son and daughter-in-law to the lovely staff.

He has been here for around three weeks, and the change in him is remarkable. He has been suffering from a skin rash, which was not being treated correctly, if at all, in the previous home. In this one, it has been cured in days. Five stars. The home is clean, and the staff are enthusiastic.

Mum became a resident in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic so our access to the home was very limited. However, we had lots of window visits and contact with the staff, whose priority at all times was the health and well-being of the residents. They lifted Mum's spirit and encouraged her in all aspects
of her stay. She was always clean and well-groomed and told us she was very happy and that the staff were looking after her very well, and kept her occupied. I had no experience of what the food was like but Mum said it was fine. The garden could do with a lot of tender loving care and the bedrooms are basic but adequate.

Mum feels really safe at Ashby Lodge Residential Home. She says the staff really care. The staff generally are very helpful and accommodating. The exterior of the house could do with a re-paint and general tidy. Having said that, when leaves fell in Autumn, these were cleared up every day.

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.826)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.826) out of 10 for Ashby Lodge Residential Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 4 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 4.542 for Ashby Lodge Residential Home is calculated as follows: ( (32 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 48 Ratings = 4.542

  • 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 4.284 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Ashby Lodge Residential Home is based on 4 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 = 3.375

    • 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 22 registered maximum number of service users is 4.4. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 4.4 = 0.909

  • 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.
