I live 150 miles from Ashwood Care Home so can only visit my aunt about every 5 weeks but, because of my first-hand experience of the care and love she receives, I am reassured that this 110-year-old lady is in the best possible hands. When we visit, always unannounced, we are struck by the friendliness
and patience of the staff, the dignity shown to all residents and the total absence of any of aromas that can sometimes be associated with care homes. The recent refurbishments have further added to the quality of the dining and lounge experiences as well providing a stimulus to those for whom the past is a familiar reality.

Following my wife's emergency admission I subsequently found the service excellent and staff easy to liaise with.
All carers dedicated, helpful and pleasant. I would hope that if respite or permanent admission required Ashwood Nursing Home would be available.

Uncertain timetable after 2pm - due perhaps to being in a room 'at the end of the line'!
The one serious criticism was the lack of running water.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

I was lucky enough to get a room at Ashwood Nursing Home for my mother after a traumatic time in hospital and a severe downturn in her dementia.
Before that she'd been struggling to cope at home despite the best efforts of professional carers visiting twice daily. After a difficult few weeks of her
acclimatising to being in a care home (always the case with dementia) I am surprised to say I haven't seen her looking this well and happy for some considerable time.
Her dementia, of course, hasn't improved, but her attitude and temperament have significantly. She is now always clean and tidy when I see her.


I'm sure this is due to the fantastic care she is receiving at Ashwood. The home seems well staffed and they all seem caring, conscientious and friendly. The home is immaculately clean.


From my few week's experience, I would have no hesitation in recommending this home.

Ashwood have taken great care of my mum since she became a resident six years ago. It's the hardest decision ever to place your loved one in residential care but the care my mum receives gives me peace of mind she is being cared for.
It does seem to have a high turn over of staff but I'm guessing
this is more to do with the nature of the job. Overall though I would recommend Ashwood to anyone wanting a top quality level of care for a loved one needing residential care.

The staff have all been very friendly and helpful. Ashwood is a good building being open, light and airy. The staff have all shown genuine interest in mum and getting to know her and what she likes. For the short time mum has been in Ashwood I am very impressed with all the staff I have come into contact
with.

Mum has been a resident at Ashwood Nursing Home for more than five years. During that time, she has received excellent care. The care staff, although busy, always makes time to see her needs and make her comfortable. The domestic staff and laundry ladies are very friendly and approachable responding
quickly to any requests. The home is very clean.


I am confident that mum is in a safe and well cared for environment.

My Aunt has been at Ashwood since February 2017 - unfortunately, her medical condition means that she is not able to make the most of all that is on offer but the family are very pleased with the level of care and the cleanliness of the Home. The Staff are very attentive and always seem to have smiles
on their faces - I can only hope that they are rewarded well because it is an incredibly important and difficult job that they do. I would definitely recommend Country Court Care and specifically, Ashwood Nursing Home.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.700)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.700) out of 10 for Ashwood Care & Nursing Home 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 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 4.700 for Ashwood Care & Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (199 Excellents x 5) + (58 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 267 Ratings = 4.7

  • 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 Ashwood Care & Nursing Home is based on 23 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 47 registered maximum number of service users is 9.4, which has been reached with 23 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.
