I live far away so can’t see dad apart from twice a year and when I came down this time the staff were very helpful and had dad up and ready for me to take in the garden on my first visit. The ladies were very polite and helpful and stayed with dad when I left because I wouldn’t leave him in his wheelchair
just in case he fell out that was amazing that they reassured me they would stay with him. On my second visit again he was up and ready and a lady was very helpful and let us go outside in the shade even letting him have his dinner out there which was brill and she came out to check all was ok and spoke to us as a family, she was amazing. Took dad to the tea party in the afternoon and the ladies in there were fantastic and welcomed dad with smiles and laughter just what I wanted dad to be a part of as he stays in his room normally and I’m hoping their expertise has helped him think about coming out and socialising with the other residents and staff. The staff are fantastic.

Very caring staff. Dad was happy during his stay, the home was clean and tidy lots for him to do and he enjoyed the food and lots of choices. He was staying following a stay in hospital and the home was much more comfortable than hospital.

My mum went to the care home in April. When she first arrived it seemed a nice place but after my third visit, I noticed my mum wasn't cared for and looked after how she should have been and ended up in the hospital due to neglect.

I feel Mum is looked after really well. But I do feel there could be more familiar faces at weekends as there tends to be more agency staff. I do feel the regular staff are really good and some will go the extra mile to do what they can for Mum.

Reply from Catherine Frost, Home Manager at Ashlynn Grange Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to review our service, we are delighted that you think your Mum is looked after with dignity and respect. We value feedback and will always review and are looking at ways to improve our services, we are actively recruiting to our team reducing the need to use agency staff which will have an impact to the amount of agency staff usage.

Dad always complains about the quality of the food, either overcooked or raw.
Delivery of the food, especially if he complains, is sometimes not replaced or served with care. I know he is set in his ways but he always used to look forward to meals. Now only breakfast is what he looks forward to. Please,
please look into the food, soggy sandwiches are not acceptable.

Sadly they let my wife down after being told by the visiting doctor to give my wife pureed food. She only received solid food. This was confirmed by a member of staff the day before she was admitted to the hospital with severe dehydration which has left her with other medical problems now. When my daughter
and I went to collect her belongings nobody said sorry in any way whatsoever. Would not recommend this care home.

My Dad has been at Ashlynn Grange for a few months now. I visit most days. The carers are wonderful. Dad loves the food. The only criticism is the staff work such long, hard hours and don't always have time to fit in everything they would like to. I know it really helps them when I assist Dad with meals
as they are often short-staffed. It would be better if the hairdresser and chiropodist came more frequently as my Dad's toenails are almost as long as his toes!

I have always found everyone to be very kind, caring, and courteous with my mum. They explain what they are going to do if I am there and always seem to be reviewing her care as her condition changes. Mum can only eat purée food but they always present the food with care to make it look nice. It’s lovely
to chat to the carers that feed her and they tell me what she enjoys. I am always greeted with a smile no matter how busy everyone is. Thank you so much to everyone for looking after my dearest mum.

I find the staff very helpful, informative and pleasant. My mother says they treat her with respect and are happy to assist her as needed. Her room is very clean and bright and nicely decorated. I can't comment on the food as Mum is unable to eat a normal diet. So far both Mum and the extended family
are happy for Ashlynn Grange to be her care home.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.648)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.648) out of 10 for Ashlynn Grange Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 35 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 34 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 4.648 for Ashlynn Grange Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (294 Excellents x 5) + (102 Goods x 4) + (21 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 418 Ratings = 4.648

  • 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 Ashlynn Grange Care Home is based on 34 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 156 registered maximum number of service users is 31.2, which has been reached with 34 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.
