Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My wife has vascular dementia and it was necessary for her to move into a care home. I was taken through all Ashton View by a manager and was very impressed with the home and decided to put my wife on the waiting list. In January this year she became a resident in the care home as a dementia patient
and thanks to the staff she settled down quickly. The staff are fully trained/qualified and provide the best possible care including personal hygiene, medication, food, drinks, personal attention and friendliness. There is a comfortable lounge with TV, dining area and the bedroom is made homely. Visitors are made welcome. The staff keep me informed of my wife's health and willingly discuss any problems I may have concerning my wife. I did not want my wife to go into a care home but I am completely satisfied she is receiving the best possible care.

The home is a pleasant environment. The staff are polite and approachable, and all the residents appear happy and content. The home is clean and the out door area is excellent. I have found coming to the home is a pleasure.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.911)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.911) 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 35 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 35 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 4.911 for Ashton View Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (385 Excellents x 5) + (29 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 418 Ratings = 4.911

  • 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 35 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 35 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.
