Ascot House offers long term, respite and day care within a home full of character in a central, yet peaceful, town location. An excellent team of experienced, dedicated carers are devoted to the well-being of everyone living at the home, with a focus on independence and freedom of choice. Tasty, nutritious food is made onsite every day from fresh ingredients and special diets can be catered for.

Mum went into Ascot House for two and a half weeks of respite care in August 2021. She felt very well cared for and said that nothing was too much trouble for the staff. I found the Manager and all the staff that I spoke to extremely friendly and helpful and very accommodating making sure that Mum was
able to have visits but with all covid safety measures in place. Both Mum and I are more than happy for Mum to go there for Respite again.

I would like to praise the staff at Ascot House for the care given to my mother during this very difficult time. My mother is 93 and has dementia. She has been cared for at the home for four years, and it is her home. The staff notice when she needs something as she cannot ask for it and are very attentive,
anticipating and encouraging her; giving me peace of mind.

I am writing this on behalf of my sister and myself. Our 98-year-old mother has been a resident at Ascot House for almost 7 years. I cannot praise enough the care she has received. The staff have always worked in partnership with us to ensure Mum's needs are met, not just in the formal reviews but on
a regular basis. They are particularly effective at intervening early if Mum becomes unwell and for being her advocate with medical staff who may not know her well. We particularly want to acknowledge the compassion shown by staff for our needs as well as Mum's during this difficult time. Mum has Alzheimers and doesn't respond to communicating using technology and visiting is limited. In Mum's eyes, the staff are now her family, and they recognise how difficult that is for us to accept. They work hard to keep us alive in her memory and to keep us connected by sending photos and talking to us about her daily life. Nothing is too much trouble. We would not hesitate to recommend Ascot House.

I cannot recommend Ascot House highly enough. It is always warm and welcoming and staff are attentive and caring with the residents. It is a comfort to our family to know that our loved ones are being cared for in a kind and compassionate way. The manager heads a fantastic team. Well done guys - keep
up your good work.

I nearly fell last night and I know now I have to use my commode near my bed. I have had no panic attacks since I have been here, no heart racing 200 beats a minute, feel safe in bed, get a good nights sleep which I never had at home. People around, staff very nice, getting the help I need. I feel I
need help 24 hrs per day, having a shower which I never had at home. Don't hear voices.

Mum has been a resident now for 5 weeks, can't believe how homely it is, staff are lovely, they can't do enough for you, relatives and Mum, nothing is too much trouble. It's a lovely place, no getting away with that, but Mum needs all the stimulation she can get. The manager is fantastic, does so many
activities and Christmas was very special to us all. Christmas dinner out and Christmas part next day. Lovely, homely place.

The fact that I find myself living in a care home has come as a surprise - it came as a result of a rather bad fall - head cut open - may be more damage than I realised and the need for a place to recover (living alone without close relatives).

My mother was resident at Ascot House for the last few months of her life and although didn't like being in a care home, her loss of mobility made it necessary. The care she received from the staff at Ascot House was caring - but more importantly, it was loving. Their care of residents with dementia
is excellent.

When arranging respite care the staff involved were very friendly and helpful. All the staff were very welcoming and polite to my father and my sister and I. The staff dealt with my father as well as I could have hoped for, carrying out his wishes. When I needed any information or had any concerns the
staff listed and dealt with them.

My father goes to Ascot House for a weekly bath. Even when staff are extremely busy, nothing is too much trouble, staff are friendly, polite and will go out of their way to make you feel welcome, offering drinks.

My stepfather arrived at Ascot House very frail, severely underweight and recovering from a broken bone in his leg. He settled quickly. Staff were attentive to his needs and he soon gained weight. He came in lost and alone, but through friendly care and being treated in a very dignified manner he began
to thrive and quickly gained weight. Despite having very poor, short term memory, and being easily confused, staff helped him to find his place in this very friendly environment so he was comfortable coming down to breakfast and could easily find his own room unaided. They provided the right level of support that met his needs but prompted him to complete tasks himself. He was very sad to leave.

The staff are very hardworking in some challenging situations. The home is always tidy with the meals varied. My MUm has dementia and gradually, over the last 18 months, she has deteriorated terribly, but the staff have cared and coped with her.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.880)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.880) out of 10 for Ascot House 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 42 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 42 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 4.880 for Ascot House is calculated as follows: ( (441 Excellents x 5) + (58 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 500 Ratings = 4.88

  • 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 Ascot House is based on 42 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 42 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.
