Mum moved into Ashby Court in 2015 and has thrived on their exceptional care. Everyone at the home works hard as a team member to look after residents and care for their individual needs. We have now moved home and during the time before we could relocate her to a suitable place near to where we now
live, I have been really pleased with how happy mum has been. Her Ashby ‘family’ have been so kind and understand her complex needs and behaviours, they really do help families to cope with this chapter of their relative's life.

It is always a worry when you have someone so young who needs to have the care that your home provides. However, that worry has lessened by a huge degree as the care that my daughter has had has been wonderful. The staff are amazing with her and try to make her feel really at home and treat her more
like a friend than a resident. I could not be happier with her care and she has settled into life here very well.

Having looked into a home for my mother, we feel at ease with staff and standards in the home. On arrival, the room had been repainted, very clean and warming. Thanks to all staff for their help and friendliness in these hard times. Well done all.

Ashby Court Care Home is clean. Staff are helpful, polite, willing and accommodating and all the staff always seem busy. A couple of personal items have gone missing (good quality t-shirt, an expensive pillow, small drinking mug, shower gel). Ashby Court Care Home has a quiet dignified atmosphere. There
are ensuite rooms. It is expensive.

I cannot express my gratitude enough to the staff and management at Ashby Court.
I have found their care of my brother second to none.
Everyone associated with the care home continues to display high standards of care and compassion. They are all extremely friendly, approachable, kind and extremely
professional. Their support to us, as a family, has been superb. We do truly value and appreciate what you do and the way in which you do it.

Since my aunt has been a resident at Ashby Court, she has received the best care I could wish for. She is happy and settled here. She is well fed and always clean. Although she suffers from dementia, she smiles and chats in her own way with her carers.


I would recommend Ashby Court to anyone seeking

a care home in the area.

Sadly my mum passed away on 1st August 2017. She spent three years at Ashby Court. The staff were friendly, very welcoming and answered any questions we may have had.
During the last nine days of my mum's life, the support we received from the staff was fantastic. They couldn't do enough for us and
allowed us to remain with my mum the whole time.
They made sure Mum was comfortable and checked in on us regularly to ask if we needed anything.
Truly wonderful caring people who went above and beyond their job description.

My husband stayed at Ashby Court for two weeks whilst I had an operation.
I was completely happy with all aspects of the care he received.
Everything that I requested to be done for, such as daily showers and brushing teeth 3 times a day were done.

My husband was in Ashby Court Care Home from May 2015 until he died on the 22nd March 2017. He was treated extremely well during that time. The carers showed a great understanding of his condition. He had progressive Alzheimer's disease, a condition hard to handle but the staff were calm and always
treated him with respect and in a most patient and dignified way. It was very much appreciated how relatives and friends were made to feel at 'home'. My sons and I were kept informed of any development in my husband's condition and called us when necessary. The staff showed true sympathy and care which gave us much comfort throughout a long, hard journey. Many thanks to all.

My father has only received kind, considerate and loving care during his stay so far (10 months to date). I have not seen him smile so much as she does now which means he is happy and contented. He loves the food when his appetite was good and the staff always take the time to speak to him and spend
time with him when they can. Thank you for looking after my dad and for your support to my sister and myself too.

Lovely care home, staff wonderful and mindful of dignity and kindness at all times. Sometimes I think more staff are needed and breaks need to be staggered more. Also, quicker response to buzzers in rooms for assistance. Otherwise, I would be very happy to live there myself. Staff are always happy,
nothing is too much trouble. Very well done to all the staff.

My husband was well cared for at all times. He enjoyed the food provided especially the freshly cooked English breakfast. An atmosphere of peace and calm was maintained in the unit- not easy with most residents at an advanced state of dementia. The staff were always considerate and caring to all residents.
I could leave my husband in their care with peace of mind.

When we looked at nursing homes for our son we viewed a few but visited Asby Court with our son and we were very impressed, not just with the cleanliness, but also the staff who were very friendly. We knew straight away that this was where we wanted our son to be for respite care, also we like the way
we can book in advanced with his respite as we can organise our holidays and book them. Most other nursing homes do not let you do this. We will be using Ashby Court for all future respite care. Rate it five stars.

My husband has been in Ashby Court for 16 months. He has Alzheimer's and 24 hour care is needed. The care he has had from day 1 has been exceptional. All the staff are very caring and dedicated to the people they look after whatever tasks they have to deal with. Quite often my husband will not eat if
he is sleepy but as soon as he is awake and alert they make sure he eats and drinks as he has a very good appetite. He is always clean and smart considering he is very difficult to get washed and dressed. I am very very satisfied with the care he has.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.511)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.511) out of 10 for Ashby Court Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.511 for Ashby Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (139 Excellents x 5) + (73 Goods x 4) + (17 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 231 Ratings = 4.511

  • 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 Ashby Court Care Home is based on 20 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 20 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.
