Pleasant, well-appointed care home. Staff ie. carers and management, go out of their way to be accommodating of my wife's needs. Always prepared to stop and listen. Some of the residents including my wife can be a little noisy at times!! Laundry and cleaning attended to daily. Good range of facilities
from outside ie. hairdressing, chiropody, optician, doctors and entertainment.

We are all very quick to criticise these days and find fault with all around us but over the last few days that I have spent at my mother-in-law's side I have nothing but admiration for the staff at 'The Ashton Care Home' in Hinkley. My mother-in-law returned home from hospital to The Ashton Care Home
'end of life care' and so instead of going back to the residential ground floor, she was moved to the top Nursing Care floor. I was delighted to find that all her belongings had been moved upstairs and all her photographs and pictures hung on the wall. It just looked like home! My mother-in-law received nothing but kindness and consideration from ALL of the staff from office/reception, nurses, carers as well as cleaning, laundry and catering staff and last but no means least the maintenance men. One can't help but admire the dedication of these super people. Sitting there beside my mother-in-law has been a real eye opener. One gentleman shouts "help" almost all of the time and someone else sounds like something out of a 'Jayne Ayre' scene or 'Bedlam', but the staff are all aware and continually checking their very difficult patients. Some staff spend time just sitting with them to keep them calm. Other patients trot up and down the corridor in their pursuit of making sense of their lives. I gave them a cheerful wave and most responded with a smile and a wave with the odd conversation. All members of staff are constantly on the go with frequent interruptions from people needing their attention. How they manage to remember everything, I really don't know! The carers from other floors called in to see how my mother-in-law was doing and were all SO supportive with hugs and friendly kind words. It's just like one big family. If all care homes were like this one, no-one would be afraid of getting old. When it was time for me to go home for a bit of a break, I knew that my mother-in-law was in safe hands and would not be allowed to die alone. This did in fact happen in the early hours of Tuesday morning and since then I have been into see them all to say a big thank you. I just wanted you to know how grateful I am to have received such care and love from them all and indeed sing their praises.

Mum initially went to The Ashton for 2 weeks respite in May 2015, but unfortunately was not able to leave. The care mum received was first class. The carers genuinely cared and nothing was too much trouble. Mum was treated with dignity and respect.
When mum became very ill, carers even came to see
her when they were not on duty. I wish mum has been well enough to join in the activities etc as I feel confident that she would have made good friends with both residents and staff.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.821)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.821) out of 10 for The Ashton 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 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 4.821 for The Ashton Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (162 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 190 Ratings = 4.821

  • 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 The Ashton Care Home is based on 16 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 72 registered maximum number of service users is 14.4, which has been reached with 16 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.
