Gerrard community have the most amazing and caring staff. My dad became a resident this year. As a retired nurse myself I can only thank them for all they do. The staff update us regularly on my dads behaviour, well-being and care. They constantly keep us up to date and informed in all aspects of his
care. They genuinely care about all of their residents. Thank you so much

Overall impression of the care home is excellent. I am particularly impressed with the attentive care given to Dad by all the staff, managers, carers and assistants. I am also impressed their staff have encouraged Dad to participate in events which he seems to enjoy. Dad has always been a solitary person
but was showing signs of anxiety at home alone. He is now completely relaxed so I can only thank the staff for all they do.

Reply from Daisy Edmondson, Marketing Executive at Ashton View Care Home

Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We're delighted to hear your dad feels relaxed and is enjoying participating in events and activities. Our team is dedicated to creating a welcoming and supportive environment for all our residents, and it's heartwarming to know that this has made a positive difference for your dad.

It was wonderful to see the resident well cared for and comfortable in his favourite chair. I had never visited before and appreciated the bay window (with his cards) and the fireplace and Christmas tree looking like a lovely lounge room. The staff were friendly and most attentive to the residents.
It is a peace of mind knowing he lives here. Thank you.

Even though it has only been a couple of weeks since my father-in-law joined the family at Ashton View Care Home we have seen him return to his social life that we haven't seen since Covid. He appears happy and involved with activities and seems happy with the fact that he is in a secure and safe environment
and that staff listen and act on any worries that he may have.

From the moment my dad entered the home he was treated with dignity, respect, understanding and more importantly to me with great care. I honestly cannot complain about any member of staff, they all treat each individual resident with great care and understanding. My dad has settled in very well and
I believe this is due to the ethos of the staff and management of Ashton View Care Home.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Before my sister came into Ashton View I had no experience of care homes other than what people had told me.
I have nothing but praise for the staff and the care they have shown my sister since she has been here.
She is well looked after, well fed and has a better social life than I have.
If she
were at home she would be on her own with no regular visitors. I do not live locally so cannot visit as often as I would like but I know I don't need to worry as I know she is being very well cared for and looked after.
I attended a relatives meeting for the first time today and was pleasantly surprised at all that is happening at Ashton View in the run-up to Christmas. I know my sister is in for a lovely time, the best since the loss of her husband two years ago.
Thank you to everyone for all you do for the residents and their families.
My sister was 80 recently and the staff really made a fuss of her and made sure she had a lovey day, thank you.

My Mum has been a resident now for over 2 years and she is very well looked after on Pilling by all the staff and in the home overall - it is a challenging job and the staff always make sure that they are treated with respect and have patience on a daily basis and in difficult situations. My sister
and I are very happy with the care our Mum receives, we can now spend quality time with her knowing she is safe and cared for as opposed to stressing and struggling to offer her 24-hour care ourselves - She loves all the entertainment and trips out (even if she doesn't always remember - at the time she seems very happy) so a huge thanks to the team for arranging these thank you to everyone at Ashton View for your care, support, dedication, and commitment.

After a very hard six months of Mum being quite poorly, I feel she has finally settled in, and all staff are so patient and kind with Mum. I also would say that if you have any problems, the manager and deputy manager are very approachable and extremely helpful. The seniors inform us of any problems
relating to Mum. I have visited when singers, etc, are there, and everyone seems to enjoy it. I feel like Mum is safe and cared for. Thank you.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.921)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.921) out of 10 for Ashton View Care Home 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 33 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 33 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 4.921 for Ashton View Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (364 Excellents x 5) + (29 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 394 Ratings = 4.921

  • 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 View Care Home is based on 33 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 58 registered maximum number of service users is 11.6, which has been reached with 33 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.
