My mum has been in Ashton Lodge since 2015. It took a while for her to get settled there, as she was on the 2nd floor.
Over a year ago she asked to be moved downstairs as it is much quieter down there. She has a lovely room which has double doors to a little patio area into the main garden.
She is
very happy there, staff have a good relationship with her and has since this current lockdown she has made some friendships with other residents.


It’s a piece of mind for myself and my brother, that our dear mum is happy where she is living and being well looked after. Safe and sound.

I'm very pleased with the standard of care that my grandmother has received. Staff are always friendly and attentive and always greet my family and me by name. Every effort is taken to make my Grandmother comfortable. I also feel that my feedback to the carers and nurses are valued and taken on board.
Ashton Lodge has a lovely homely feel to it and I'm extremely grateful for al;l they've done for myself and family.

My partner has been at Ashton Lodge since early 2017. I have nothing but praise and admiration for the staff who work on the first floor. They always welcome me when I visit and tell me about what has been happening or how my partner is. They are a very caring and friendly bunch, even when stretched
to their limits.

My mother is very well looked after in most ways. The carers are brilliant and so are the nurses and all other staff, but could do with a few more staff as they are very overworked. My mother has someone to talk to whenever she needs it. The food is very good and I can now, at last, know she is safe,
well-fed and generally looked after.

My husband became a resident in Ashton Lodge in December 2016. At the time, he was on a tube feed, catheter.
The dietician visited him and within no time he was eating food.
All this was cared for by nursing and care staff. He suffered from dreadful urine infections and again urology let us try without
it, again a success. He always received prompt attention when necessary, tender care and consideration, even the staff who cooked scrambled eggs. Sadly he died very quickly, his GP, head nurse, nurses and carers made his last days and mine as smooth as they were able. Since then I have been contacted by Ashton Lodge, they are still watching out for me. I am indebted to each and every one of the staff. We both came to love and respect you all.

My mother was a very independent lady up until she was almost 100 years old. She was very resistant to living in a care home and took a while to settle and to realize that she could no longer care for herself at home. The staff at Ashton Lodge were very caring and were ready to have a laugh with her
and help her in every way. She was in their care for nine months and in letters, I received from her she commented on their caring attitude and said how lucky she was to be there. I am so grateful to all the management and staff.

Warmly welcomed on arrival. All their needs were met, including the marking of my husband's clothing. We were at all times treated with respect and absolute kindness. The staff were always patient with residents' challenging behaviour. Never a voice raised or treated roughly.
The staff were very sensitive
to our needs and saw it important that family and friends were offered hospitality when present and not only at meal times. I never worried about his care when I wasn't present. I trusted them implicitly. I cannot praise the home enough.

I held power of attorney for an elderly friend who developed dementia as a result of a stroke and latterly became bedbound. She spent four and a half years at Ashton Lodge. Throughout that time I was impressed by the kindness, care and respect with which she was treated by the carers and nurses. It
gave me peace of mind to know that she was safe and well cared for. I felt the staff were genuinely caring and that my friend was fortunate to be at Ashton Lodge.
Throughout her time I felt the home maintained a high standard of care and I was told if she became ill between visits, which latterly were weekly. The home held residents' and relatives' meetings with the manager and other senior staff present to answer questions and listen to relatives' concerns.

From the moment my friend moved into Ashton Lodge from her own home, she was much happier.
She was really well cared for and all the staff were very friendly. She had a lovely room.
The manager and assistant manager were always ready to help and support me: they are both very special people.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.686)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.686) out of 10 for Ashton Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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 4.686 for Ashton Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (232 Excellents x 5) + (63 Goods x 4) + (16 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 312 Ratings = 4.686

  • 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 Lodge is based on 27 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 100 registered maximum number of service users is 20, which has been reached with 27 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.

Michelle David

Job Title: Home Manager

Joined: 2022

My career in Health and Social started as a result of my grandfather being terminally ill. He was being cared for in a hospice which was not caring for him the way we had expected. As a family, a Decision was made to take him home and care for him. One day when supporting my grandfather I had an epiphany that maybe this is what I should be doing. I wanted to make a difference in people’s lives by ensuring they have a good quality of life for the rest of their lives. I graduated with a BSC Psychology degree and went on to achieve Health & social vocational qualifications.


After graduating I went on to become a Dementia support worker and developed my career very quickly in Management.


I have worked for 20 years in the sector in different capacities and am extremely passionate about providing a high standard of quality care.

I enjoy developing teams and supporting them to reach their full potential.
