I visit mam as often as possible. The staff always make me welcome and give me regular updates on mum's progress. Mam has settled in here very well. I feel she is in a safe and comfortable environment. I think the staff work very hard in the care industry. All the staff are very helpful.

My nana has been at Ashlea Mews for four years until she passed away there. The staff were lovely and treated her as if she were their own family. Their kindness and compassion to nana and us as a family during her final weeks and days will never be forgotten. The staff work long hard hours but still
made time for us all, we appreciated all their hard work. I would like to say a big thank you to each and every one of them.

In early September, my father moved into Ashlea Mews. He was immediately at home and was very pleased with his choice. The home was clean, bright and had cheerful staff.
Each time we visited my father, the staff were happy, polite and obliging to help. Unfortunately, my father's health declines very
quickly and the staff stepped in to be sure the doctor and nurses visits and medication were all in place. At the end, the support and care to us was wonderful. Thank you all.

At 4am in May, I had a phone call from the staff of Ashlea Mews about the poorly condition of my mother. They had phoned an ambulance because of her very poor condition. The ambulance came within half an hour of me arriving at the home. They thought she had sepsis and with the assistance of staff, took
her to hospital. She had antibiotics stat and thankfully, recovered enough to be discharged back. I cannot thank the staff enough - they saved her life.

I am happy with the care my mam receives. Her needs are met and the staff are friendly and approachable.


The only area I would like to see improve is an increase of daily stimulation/activities for the residents, although I am aware of the recent appointment of an additional co-ordinator which should

help.

My sister's dementia is quite advanced and she has great difficulty eating, drinking and communicating. I find the standard of care provided to be extremely high. She is kept as clean as is possible.
The flooring has been changed in her bedroom to help keep her room as hygienic as it can be and great
attention is given to her diet.
I find the staff helpful, friendly caring and unpatronising and I believe they do everything in their power to keep her happy and safe.

Dad moved in for respite for 6 weeks until I sorted his care package for home.
The staff kept me informed of his well being at all times and were very approachable to discuss his transition home.
The routine, meals and atmosphere were of great benefit to him.

This home is friendly and treats all residents with dignity, There is plenty for them to do.
Staff go above and beyond their duty. Visitors can go anytime and are always welcome.
You can go on holiday and if you have any worries, you can phone them and they will give you an update. My mam was there
for nearly 3 years and in that time, I joined her for Christmas dinner and her birthday was celebrated. 5-stars.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.761)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.761) out of 10 for Ashlea Mews Care 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 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.761 for Ashlea Mews Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (176 Excellents x 5) + (46 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 226 Ratings = 4.761

  • 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 Ashlea Mews Care Home is based on 19 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 19 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.
