My aunt is very happy with the way in which she is treated by staff and says how loving and caring they are and it is her opinion that for them, it is more than just a job. Throughout my unannounced visits, I have always found her clean, well cared for and happy.

My husband has been a resident at Barchester Ashlar House Care Home for nearly 2 years. His behaviour has been challenging at times, but the whole team of staff from nurses, carers, admin and household, have worked so hard to get to know him and recognise his behaviours to ensure they make him feel
safe, secure and comfortable. I also have a wonderful relationship with the team here, who have been extremely supportive to me and I feel able to speak freely with them concerning my husband's care.
He celebrated his 70th birthday last week and everyone made such an effort and made a fuss of him. He seemed to have some understanding of the occasion and certainly enjoyed the music, cake and balloons along with fellow residents who joined in.
I personally spend many hours at Ashlar each day and observe how staff care for other residents as well as my husband, and I am confident I made the right decision in placing him in their care.

The staff at Ashlar House have made what could have been a very stressful, upsetting situation so much more manageable. They are so caring and not only do they look after the residents but also the family members. They are always available to chat and have been a massive support system to me and my
whole family. We are so grateful for their kindness and the care they give our dad on a daily basis.

Mum has been resident at Barchester Ashlar House Care Home since November 2023 and is very happy and comfortable there.
The staff are amazing so friendly and very caring.
There is a lovely atmosphere when you visit and always a very warm welcome from everyone.
Mum is well cared for by caring, professional
staff, nothing is too much trouble and she is treated with utmost care and dignity.
The facilities are very good and the rooms, bathrooms are clean and well-kept, clothing and bedding get washed every day and the food menus are very good.
Ashlar House definitely deserves a five-star rating.

Since my mother's arrival at Ashlar House in June 2023 I have been delighted with the care that she has received. She has always been treated with dignity and kindness and she very much considers this as her home. The ability of the carers and nurses here to deal with her volatile diabetes has enabled
her to live a very comfortable life in a lovely environment for which I am very grateful. I would recommend this home to anyone without hesitation.

My father was in Barchester Ashlar House Care Home for ten weeks last year and it was excellent in all respects.
I was so glad and lucky to find that they had a room available when I needed a place for my uncle last August (2023). He has been there ever since and is very happy. I could 'box tick' all
the good points about Ashlar but the main difference compared with other homes that I have visited is that all of the staff really get to know all of the residents and this is what leads to such good care being given. The nurses are concerned to make sure that residents' dignity is maintained at all times and along with the management team, always embrace any concerns that family members may have and are happy to accommodate their requirements.

In my experience, the staff at Barchester Ashlar House Care Home are always professional and caring when carrying out their duties with the residents. There is a caring, friendly atmosphere which makes relatives feel at ease, welcomed and valued. All staff, management, administrative, nursing carers
and domestics, show care, courtesy and respect to all visitors which makes relatives feel able to speak to any member of staff if any concerns over the relatives arise. This, I feel, is particularly important when a relative first arrives at a care home which can be very stressful for all. I highly recommend Ashlar House to prospective residents.

When you enter the home you are made to feel welcome and are greeted with a warm smile from the lovely receptionist. The home is always immaculate and the gardens well kept. The rooms are well-furnished and comfortable for all residents. Every room and living area is cleaned at least every day.
Management
are always approachable and hospitable, and their doors are always open for residents and their families to give support and advice. The carers and nurses are exceptional, nothing is ever a problem. They're always happy and treat all residents like family of their own by keeping regular routine specialized for each tenant/ patient.
The catering is brilliant with 3-course meals every day whether it be in the dining room or taken individually to each patient's room. Always warm and well cooked with at least 2 choices per course. The eating area, like the rest of the home, is always spotless and just as you would want your home.
Exceptional care home.

This is an excellent care home. I was very impressed from the very beginning and all my questions and worries were answered by the manager. Everything she said was absolutely correct and she showed a huge amount of compassion and respect. The nursing staff could not have been more caring and understanding.

This is the 3rd care home that Mum has been in and most certainly the best. The whole team is amazing. They always have time to talk with you and answer any questions you may have. They have always treated Mum as an individual, not just another resident, and know her likes and dislikes so can manage
her care in the best way for her.
The place is always spotless and the food is amazing! There is an entertainment program and relatives/carers are encouraged to join in.
I cannot praise this home enough. Thank you for everything you have done and continue to do. You are all stars!

What a fabulous place is Ashlar House. I have become a regular visitor here. The facilities are fabulous, the food and menu choices amazing, the care is second to none, and the entertainment and activities are wonderful.
I visited a friend who came to Ashlar House in December 2023 and they are very
happy there. I am able to visit with my daughter's dog, and we are both made to feel most welcome. There is a cafe for residents and visitors to enjoy refreshments together and a regular calendar of activities, outings and visitors is provided so that there is always something happening.
I have been really impressed with everything about Ashlar House. Well done to all the team!

From the moment you walk through the doors of Ashlar House, you know that your loved one will be in good hands. The dining area is always clean and bright with a menu for the day on show and seasonal flowers and decor on display. There are always members of staff engaging with residents with lots of
laughter and chatting - it's so lovely to see. The manager is always on hand to offer help and support as well as all the members of staff. From the start of Mum's stay members of staff were so keen to get to know her, knowing this would help her to feel safe and secure. Unfortunately Mum has now passed away but I know that if she had been in better health she would have loved the full programme of lovely things Ashlar provide for their residents. All the members of staff were so attentive and gave professional compassionate care to Mum and to us as well. I can't thank them enough for their kindness.
Our father has not long been at Ashlar House. We have found that all members of staff are fabulous. They are thoughtful, kind and professional, giving him attention with compassion and kindness. If we need to discuss Dad's care someone is never too far away to help and all staff are totally understanding of his needs. I can't thank everyone enough for all the support at this time.

Mum came to Ashlar House with advanced dementia and other health problems. She was very poorly having spent the past couple of weeks in hospital. She was receiving end-of-life care. It was a particularly difficult time for her but also for the family. We found all the staff - without exception - to
be extremely caring, compassionate, professional and friendly. We couldn’t have wished for better care for Mum. We were particularly thankful for the care they showed us too. Thank you Team Ashlar!

My mum and I could not be more thankful for the care given to my dad while he was at Barchester Ashlar House Care Home. The kindness shown to him and the support given to us by every member of staff was immeasurable. It's difficult thinking about a loved one going into a nursing home, but the first
moment we stepped through the door we knew he was coming to the right place. Welcoming, professional and caring. You couldn't ask for me. Dad's passing was as dignified and compassionate as it could be. Thank you for making a difficult time for him and his family as comfortable as it could be. We felt included at a time when one is completely helpful.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.896)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.896) out of 10 for Barchester Ashlar House 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 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.896 for Barchester Ashlar House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (237 Excellents x 5) + (19 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 260 Ratings = 4.896

  • 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 Barchester Ashlar House Care Home is based on 22 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 44 registered maximum number of service users is 8.8, which has been reached with 22 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.
