Since my first contact with Ashington Grange Care Home, the management and staff have been professional, friendly and helpful. I have lasting power of attorney for my uncle and all at the Grange have made my work in assuring care for my uncle very easy. The Grange is clean, well-run, well-organised
and welcoming. The extracurricular activities for residents are wonderful.

My father was a resident in May 2022. During his stay, he always had a clean and comfortable living space. The care he received was excellent and his many complex needs were handled without problems by the staff. The staff were always very kind and would sit socialising with the residents in the rare
moments of quiet time they had. My father's short stay at Ashington Grange was a very positive experience at what was a very difficult time for my family. We cannot thank or recommend you enough.

I am a permanent resident here and can't complain. Sold my previous home and been a resident here since 2015. I can not praise the staff enough for their efforts because the staffing situation here is really desperate.

I have been here for some time now and still enjoy it and class this as my home. I have my own room, so better than hospital. The food is good and changes weekly so good choice. The staff are nice and pleasant and know their stuff. I can tell them if I am not well and they will get a doctor for me.
I also like the company of other residents. Nothing is a problem for the staff. I don't regret having to come into a home.

My father-in-law has been welcomed and made to feel at home, he's been well cared for with kindness and dignity by all staff who work very hard. The home is very clean, and from what my father-in-law says exceptionally good, supplying varied, tasty food.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.646)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.646) out of 10 for Ashington 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 29 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.646 for Ashington Grange Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (233 Excellents x 5) + (97 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 342 Ratings = 4.646

  • 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 Ashington Grange Care Home is based on 28 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 59 registered maximum number of service users is 11.8, which has been reached with 28 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.
