Very pleased with the care given. Nothing is too much trouble and everyone is treated with dignity and respect. All the staff show a very professional attitude and were always cheerful and caring towards residents and visitors. We the whole family consider ourselves very fortunate to have found such
a special place for this elderly relative.

I believe the very high quality of nursing and care that my mum has received has extended her life beyond what was expected. All the staff are extremely professional and very helpful to us the relatives.
As a family, we could not be happier to know our mum is being looked after in such a caring and
safe environment.
A huge thank you to all staff at Ashley Park.

I was a senior SRN and have had a lot of experience in the care of the elderly. I am convinced that my friend has landed in a very caring home for terminal care and has been reasonably happy for the last two years, though is now tired but appreciates all that is done for her.

Having by now been in Ashley Park for six months, my mother is comfortable and relaxed. She frequently comments on the friendliness and kindness of members of staff. She enjoys her meals in the dining room or in her own pleasant ground floor room from which she has a beautiful view of the countryside.
She's an active participant in and very much enjoys the program of activities provided in the house (though would enjoy this even more if some activities were scheduled occasionally at weekends). All in all, she has definitely benefited from her first six months at Ashley Park.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.929)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.929) out of 10 for Ashley 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 Ashley Park Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (132 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 141 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 Ashley Park Care Home is based on 12 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 30 registered maximum number of service users is 6, which has been reached with 12 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.
