My Mother is a resident of Ashton Grange. The team at Ashton Grange are attentive, supportive and professional - all the attributes that you would expect from a team looking after a loved one full time. In my opinion, the team are very well-led. Communication from Ashton Grange to me is regular, helpful
and supportive.

Our auntie has been a resident at Ashton Grange for two years, she is blind and has dementia but has settled in and is very comfortable. The care team are extremely attentive and caring and when they can, they will encourage her to the lounge where she enjoys the entertainment of music and song.
Throughout
the difficult time of the covid virus, the team have constantly kept us updated with her welfare and wellbeing.
We would highly recommend Ashton Grange as auntie can have high days and low days but the attention she receives from the team shows that they know her requirements very well. Well done to all concerned.

My husband spent six months at Ashton Grange and was extremely well cared for. Although he was suffering from dementia he was very fond of the staff and was never distressed about any of his care. He did contract COVID-19 and was in hospital for a few weeks. When he returned to Ashton Grange he had
lost a lot of weight but was obviously pleased to be back. Sadly he died very peacefully a few weeks later but his care was always exemplary.
Thank you Ashton Grange.

Although my father has limited ability to interact verbally and physically, the team at Ashton Grange treat him with kindness and respect. He is always well fed, clean and shaven. It is reassuring to walk away after a visit knowing he is in good hands. All the team, no matter what their position, always
engage in conversation with me. This is a friendly, relaxed environment.

Mum has lived at Ashton Grange since April 2014 and although initially anxious settled in fairly quickly with the help of the staff. She enjoys the company of the other residents and "feels safe and looked after". There are numerous activities each day which she participates in when she wants to.
Residents
are given the choice to do what they feel happy with and are not pressurised to join in activities, go to bed at a certain time etc. Family and friends can visit anytime. Mum has been ill on occasions and lost her appetite but the staff have patiently encouraged her to eat with food choices and smaller meals so not to overwhelm her with food. The staff are brilliant but staffing levels are sometimes a concern.

My Mother has been in Ashton Grange for 4 1/2 years. She has Alzheimers Disease, arthritis and heart failure. She is doubly incontinent and now bedridden. She is also prone to chest infections, as soon as she shows symptoms of that, or anything out of the ordinary, a doctor is called. At all times her
comfort and dignity are respected. She is treated with kindness.
As far as any Alzheimer's sufferer can be, my Mother is happy in Ashton Grange. I am happy she is there, knowing she is well cared for.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.856)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.856) out of 10 for Ashton Grange 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 4.856 for Ashton Grange is calculated as follows: ( (119 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 139 Ratings = 4.856

  • 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 Grange 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 31 registered maximum number of service users is 6.2, 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.
