My elderly father, aged 102, has just spent two weeks staying in Ashmead. He was cared for with love, dignity and excellent general care. All staff, from management to cleaners, were friendly, courteous and helpful. I would highly recommend this home. The only drawbacks were, at times, a shortage of
staff, and this, of course, does impact the residents.

I visited my father several times, unannounced to find Ashmead Care Centre spotlessly clean. The staff have always been extremely helpful and cheerful. My father is being very well cared for. He and his room are kept very clean and tidy and he is being treated with great respect. Thank you to all the
staff at Ashmead.

I have always found the staff to be most attentive to my mother's needs. They are caring and professional in their abilities to carry out their work. They are also extremely happy which is a good sign. The nurses are most capable and also show compassion and know how to do their jobs. The room, where
my mother lives, is bright and clean and is cleaned on a regular basis. My mother is bedbound so cannot participate in activities.

I just wanted to add a new review of Ashmead Care Centre. My mother was at the home for 20 months before her passing last year. During those 20 months and the pandemic, I saw how hard the staff work for all the residents, from the kitchen, cleaners, carers, nurses and management. All work for the safety
and well-being of all the residents. I wanted to give something back to them for the wonderful care of my mother. So I became a volunteer, just a few hours once a week just speaking to the residents, singing, dancing and having fun. During my time at the home, I only see great care and understanding towards all the residents. It is a wonderful home and I would recommend it to anyone. Thank you Ashmead.

My mother-in-law has been looked after by the staff on Lavender and all the staff at Ashmead since 2020. She moved to Ashmead in March of that year the day before her 90th birthday. Although Covid was a terrible time and we couldn't see her as we would have wished to we knew she was getting the best
of care and we were kept informed of her well-being at all times. Knowing my mother-in-law is safe and well cared for has given the whole family much comfort and she continues to enjoy the care and attention she receives. My husband and I have nothing but admiration for the staff and our heartfelt thanks go to all of them. We are grateful that Mother-in-law lives there. Thank you.

My late mother was blessed to have been admitted to this outstanding care home in April 2019. The home is clean and professionally run and the staff are simply very special people. They took such great care of my mother, right up until the time she passed away in May 2022. Because I was informed that
her end was approaching, I was able to reach her in time as she drew her last breath. She died peacefully and pain-free in a lovely room, with me holding her hand and kissing her forehead as she slipped away. At all times during Mum's residency, I was kept informed if she was unwell and needed to be admitted to hospital. I was involved in every stage of the process. The staff respected my wish that she wouldn't be readmitted after her final stay in hospital, as I wanted a peaceful death for her. A special thank you goes to the Buttercup Wing team. It was only by chance, that Mum was admitted to Ashmead Care Centre and I consider this home simply the best. I would highly recommend Ashmead to anyone.

My dad was in Ashmead only for a few weeks before he died. As I live in Hampshire and my mum in Chiswick it was hard for us to visit frequently. The staff always kept me informed as to any changes in my dad's conditions and recommended when we needed to see him at the end. My dad was very comfortable
and settled at Ashmead and seemed more than happy there. I couldn't have asked for better care. Thank you.

My father was transferred to Ashmead from hospital in October 2020. My daughter and I visited Ashmead for the first time on 1st January 2021 as my father was on 'end of life' care. As soon as you walked into Ashmead you were instantly met with a sense of caring. It was extremely welcoming. The staff
and residents all looked happy. Ashmead is well run and clean with lovely furniture, exactly what you want for a loved member of your family. The staff at Ashmead have been truly amazing. They have been unbelievably caring. There have been two members of staff at Ashmead who I believe are angels on earth. They are the nursing staff on the Primrose Ward where my Dad stayed. They have been absolutely wonderful, kind and considerate. I cannot use enough words to describe how I will always remember their kindness to my Dad when he really needed it the most and was at his most vulnerable. He was a very strong, independent man who would have found it very hard to be so helpless but I know that both of them were wonderful with him and I will be eternally grateful to them.

The care and compassion provided by the staff during my aunt's stay for over 6 months at Ashmead Care Centre was truly outstanding.


Considering this was during a global pandemic, the staff worked to high standards and showed due care and conscientiousness in discharging their duties. Staff were also

receptive, helpful, kept me updated on her care, and acted on her needs with kindness and true compassion.


As a retired midwife, she appreciated the tidiness at Ashmead Care Centre and how considerate the staff were. In her own words, Ashmead was like a "palace" where her needs were met with due care and understanding. My aunt and I would like to express our profound gratitude to the manager and all the staff especially at the Rose Unit for their kindness, outstanding care and professionalism during her stay.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.506)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.506) out of 10 for Ashmead Care Centre is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 20 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 4.597 for Ashmead Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (172 Excellents x 5) + (51 Goods x 4) + (15 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 243 Ratings = 4.597

  • 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 4.909 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Ashmead Care Centre is based on 20 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 110 registered maximum number of service users is 22. 20 Positive Reviews ÷ 22 = 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.

Luminita Cupsa

Job Title: Home Manager

Hello, my name is Luminita and I am the Home Manager at Ashmead.


I am a wife and a mother born, raised and trained in Romania where I practiced paediatric nursing before moving to the UK. I trained to become an adult nurse (RGN), and I am proud to have worked as a senior carer, an RGN, Clinical Lead, the Deputy Manager and the Home Manager in the same care home, Ashmead where I continue to be the Home Manager today. I am passionate about delivering great care to the people living with us and as a Home Manager, I take pride in not only providing good quality care but also great hospitality services to the people that live with us. I believe in continuing professional development and supporting my staff to develop themselves to grow in their careers. It has been a very rewarding journey so far as my 34 years of nursing continues at Ashmead, and I aim to continue to help improve our services for our residents.
