My aunt has been a resident for almost 22 years. The care she receives is of a high standard and all staff are fully aware of her needs. Many activities take place on a regular basis keeping all the residents happy and engaged. Keep up the good work.

My mum is very happy at Ashton Park Care Home. The staff are very caring, helpful and fun. I visit regularly and am always made welcome. Mum has gained all the weight she lost before becoming a resident. The food is excellent, freshly cooked ingredients and all the things Mum enjoys. Mum loves having
her hair and nails done every week. Her clothes are immaculate which is so important to her, Mum loves clothes. Mum is treated with respect and dignity, she has a choice of time to get up/go to bed, what to wear, what to eat, personal belongings in her room. Her room is spotless. The staff now know her well and recognise immediately if she is not herself. Communication between staff, health and myself is excellent. I looked at several homes before Mum came to Ashton Park and I am so glad she became a resident here, she has become one of the big family.

Dad has Alzheimer's and came to the home in February 2024. He had problems settling and wanted to leave at first. The staff were amazing and dealt with his worries with kindness and reassurance. We went through a time where he felt unsafe and again with reassurance we seem to be making good progress.
He now seems settled and loves the staff to bits. I feel really reassured that any problems will be dealt with sympathetically.

My mum had a bad experience in a care home, she was very anxious. Since moving into Ashton Park Care Home, she's improved so much mood-wise that her physical health has also improved. The staff are caring and very patient, I couldn't ask for better really.

Ashton Park came into our lives when we needed them the most and my mum's health deteriorated. With love and care and with the help of the doctors my mum's health stabilised and has kept her well looked after. They have consistently kept us up to date with Mum's health and her needs. The team here is
really good and we wouldn't want her in any other place.

I visited numerous homes to place Mum in to but found a very warm welcome here. Staff are very friendly and management very professional. Mum has a lovely big room with beautiful views over the park. Mum thinks the food is fantastic, can't fault it at all. The staff are very attentive and help Mum all
the time.
Overall 10/10, lovely atmosphere and fun.

I was in hospital looking for a care home to live in. The last one was very disappointing. On the Monday I went to view another home - but hated it. I rang my social worker. I was really upset. 20 minutes later a really sweet lady came to me. She said she managed a care home and said it was near the
hospital. What a wonder surprise! Nice room and the staff are amazing! Nothing is too much trouble for them. The food is good. I am so happy!

It was never going to be an easy decision to arrange for my Mum to move into a care home but, I feel grateful each day that I chose Ashton Park. Mum has lived there for the last 7 months and I have consistently found the staff to be kind, compassionate, understanding, professional, and hard-working.
My Mum always looks well cared for and her care plan is updated regularly with staff communicating with me about her needs, wishes, and healthcare. Despite the unfortunate restrictions that the pandemic has placed on visits, staff always do their very best to accommodate me seeing her taking into account my work pattern. It was Mum's 85th birthday last week and I couldn't be there and I received videos of her opening my gifts, photos of the little party they laid on for her, and I was able to speak to her on the phone with lots of encouragement and help from staff that she needed in order to do so. My deepest thanks go to Ashton Park. You're all angels.

Reply from Tracy Mallett, Manager at Ashton Park Care Home

Thank you for your kind words and feedback. It has been a pleasure to care for your mum and she is admired by all the staff. If you require any further assistance, please let us know.

Ashton Park have been looking after my mum for almost 2 years. The staff are absolutely fantastic and nothing is ever too much trouble. I have complete peace of mind knowing she is being so well looked after, being kept warm, well-fed, safe, and in the presence of fantastic carers 24 /7. They keep me
regularly informed if she does have any issues. I am truly grateful for everything they all do for mum. I would have no hesitation whatsoever recommending Ashton Park.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.929)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.929) out of 10 for Ashton Park Care Home 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.929 for Ashton Park Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (156 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 168 Ratings = 4.929

  • 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 Ashton Park Care Home is based on 14 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 17 registered maximum number of service users is 3.4, which has been reached with 14 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.
