It is now 1 year since Mum moved into Ashlea Court. She has settled well and is very well cared for. The staff are all great and show genuine care towards her and are so welcoming when we visit! She is always well-presented, clean and tidy. She enjoys the activities and interacts with other residents
which she seems to enjoy. She enjoys all the food and never offers any complaints. Her room is a great size and it is great being able to have all her own furniture, ornaments etc. The cleanliness of her room and the home is great. Staff and management are easy and open to communicate with and keep on top of any issues.

From my initial visit to view the complex, I have found the staff friendly and attentive. The level of care has impressed me and my mother has settled in very well. When visiting, she is very content and enjoys the interactive nature of the resident's lounge and organised activities. The management

I am glad I chose this home for my husband who has been a resident almost one year. Staff are very approachable and prepared to listen to any worries/problems you foresee. The home is very nice and I am looking forward to the renovations due to take place in residents' bedrooms. My husband's room is
definitely in need of a makeover but I know this in the future plans. My husband is very happy in this home and I am happy for him.

My husband was admitted on the 29th of January 2024. It was quickly obvious that his general health and mood were improving compared to the previous four months in a dementia unit in hospital. This has continued and though I'm aware that Alzheimer's is progressive, I think that his care is helpful to
his well-being. Staff and management are caring and helpful to me as well as to my husband.

From management to domestics are fantastic, I know how difficult it is as I took care of my wife for three years after she had a severe stroke before coming to Ashlea Court Care Home after another stroke.
On Independence Day, the home had a party and that was the first time I saw my wife laughing
and enjoying herself. From them, my wife has been going to the day room, joining in activities from her wheelchair, has taken the staff three years to get my wife to join in.
I can't thank all the staff enough.

My mum moved into Ashlea Court in February 2023 and I cannot fault the care and support she has received so far. All staff are so friendly and welcoming, nothing is ever too much. The home itself is spotless and you can see they take pride in their establishment. My mum's room itself is a great size
with an ensuite, one of the key features she wanted when choosing a nursing home. My mum said the food has been lovely and plentiful tea, coffee and homemade snacks throughout the day so residents are well looked after.

I am very happy with the care my mother receives from all Ashlea Court staff. They have known her now for nearly five years and always respond to her needs with kindness, gentleness and patience which will not always be easy. From office to cleaning staff, from carers to nurses all staff refer to my
mum with affection and an obvious awareness of her individual feelings and needs. As a family, we are very grateful for such a safe and welcoming place for our mother to live at this very vulnerable time in her life.

After a lengthy stay in hospital, our Mum was admitted to our chosen care home, Ashlea Court. Sadly her time there was too short. During her two-week stay, we were kept updated on her care and well-being. She had dementia, our family are confident that everything was done to ensure she felt relaxed,
comfortable and safe. She was treated with compassion and dignity.

My mum has been residing at Ashlea Court for 13 years. During this time she has been cared for with dignity and understanding. Management and staff listen to her concerns with understanding and compassion. Working together as a team has always been my utmost goal since Mum entered the home. The cleaning
staff, laundry staff, cooks have always provided the highest standards throughout the years as have the carers (again teamwork). During lockdown, all measures were adhered to impeccably and continue to be.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.453)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.453) out of 10 for Ashlea Court Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 12 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 4.755 for Ashlea Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (116 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 143 Ratings = 4.755

  • 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 4.698 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Ashlea Court Care Home is based on 12 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 86 registered maximum number of service users is 17.2. 12 Positive Reviews ÷ 17.2 = 0.698

  • 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.
