Ashton Manor has a very warm and welcoming atmosphere which one immediately senses on entering the building. Complementing this atmosphere is the excellent housekeeping within and without the building. Within the Home, there is a real community spirit amongst the Residents who are cared for and attended
continuously by a dedicated and enthusiastic Staff team. Staff kindness was extended to my wife and myself when we recently celebrated our 60 years of marriage when the Staff decorated the awning in the garden with balloons and a Happy Anniversary greeting. This gesture really added to the happiness of the occasion. The Home is managed with vision and efficiency, assisted by regular meetings and communications with Relatives, thus ensuring the optimalisation of the care required by each and all of the Residents.

The staff not only look after my wife very well but they are unfailingly courteous and friendly towards visitors such as myself. The atmosphere at Ashton Manor is not at all institutional it is more a home from home in my case. I always enjoy my visits.

My mum has been living here for around 14 months, and I wouldn't want her to be anywhere else. I am very pleased with the care and respect that they give and show to Mum. The staff are always friendly and speak when I visit, and when I take my dog to visit they always make a fuss of her, and the other
residents enjoy her visits too. This is a well-run care home, all the staff work hard and with compassion, no matter how difficult some of the residents can be. When my husband and I visit, we not only visit Mum, but the other residents as well, we chat with them and even sing some old songs or nursery rhymes, and quite often the residents sing along with us, we also join in with some of the daily activities.
To all the staff here, keep up your good work.

My father has been at Ashton Manor for several months. It took a while for him to settle, but with the help of the welcoming staff, he has settled into his new routine.
The home has been amazing, and I could not fault them in any way. The staff are always on hand if any help is needed or any questions
need answering.
Whenever I visit, I can always hear chattering and giggles from the sitting room. Dad is happy here, and I feel as if I am getting my life back; as I know that he is in safe capable hands when I leave.

I’ve been a regular volunteer at Ashton Manor for almost 2 years now and have nothing but positive words to say about this lovely care home. The building brings a homely, friendly, gentle atmosphere. All of the staff give 100% and have a genuine love for their job and the residents, it’s a real team
here at Ashton Manor. The food is good quality, well balanced and there is plenty of choice. All of the residents seem to be very content. I believe Ashton Manor is different to other care homes simply because of the positive atmosphere and genuine, caring members of staff. Staff are always smiling, approachable and happy to help both each other and residents. The management and seniors are very supportive to members of staff and the training is good quality. These are all of the reasons I continue to volunteer at Ashton Manor.

My father was a resident for several years and although his care needs were complex and demanding the care he received was always of the highest quality. He was so happy at Ashton Manor and formed friendships with residents and staff that made his life very contented even though he was battling Parkinson’s
and Prostate cancer. He wanted to finish his days among people he loved in the place that he loved and this he achieved. A very big thank you to all the caring staff! You are all excellent!

I had to find a care home for my husband at very short notice and was so lucky that they had a place for him. The manager visited us and we immediately bonded as was the case with all the carers. They looked after and cared for my husband with love and attention. It's such a happy home to be in.

The end of life care my father received was excellent, the staff were caring, kind and considerate as well as very competent. They not only considered my father's care, but also the feelings and needs of the visiting family. I was regularly consulted and always felt that I had a real connection with
the home and staff.


It was a very sad and upsetting time but the staff made great efforts to make it as easy as these things can even be.

I have been so impressed with my great grandfather's care at Ashton Manor. The manager and her team are extremely caring and professional, creating a warm and welcoming environment. I have particularly enjoyed visiting their special events, like the Caribbean summer party and the Halloween party. The
team were really enthusiastic and the residents including my great grandfather thoroughly enjoyed the day, a really positive environment. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ashton Manor.

My mother has been a resident at Ashton Manor Nursing Home for 2 1/2 years now suffering from dementia. I visit 2-3 times a week so have seen a few changes, current management is excellent and staff levels consistent. Mum is treated with care and dignity and I like to think is very popular with staff.
All the staff try their hardest to make residents comfortable and safe. Management keeps me well informed of mums health and upcoming events. Very happy mum is well cared for.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.775)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.775) out of 10 for Ashton Manor Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.775 for Ashton Manor Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (103 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 129 Ratings = 4.775

  • 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 Manor Nursing Home is based on 11 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 39 registered maximum number of service users is 7.8, which has been reached with 11 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.
