My brother spent two weeks in respite care at Ashton Manor. The standard of care he received was exemplary. Due to his severe MS, he has very complex needs, but thanks to the superb planning from Ashton Manor, all his needs were met, and he was treated with the utmost patience, kindness, dignity and
respect at all times. We cannot praise Ashton Manor too highly. Exemplary care from an outstanding team, thank you.

My father needed residential care from late October 2022. He had come out of the hospital in a confused state and was not able to look after himself at home, even with a considerable care package. We were pleased to find a room in Ashton Manor, initially for respite care. The staff have been highly
caring, always trying to engage with my father and encourage him to join in activities. They have provided excellent support not only to my father but also to myself and his other family, friends and neighbours who have visited. The home has excellent facilities, but it is the staff that makes the difference, and I'm very grateful for all their efforts to keep my father happy and healthy.

My husband and I are delighted with the care my mother-in-law has received at Ashton Manor since the day she moved in, nearly a year ago. The staff are always kind and friendly and appear to go above and beyond to ensure her needs are met. Her condition was very poor on arrival and over the last year,
she has put on weight and has regained her capacity. We are very grateful for the knowledge every day that she is in safe hands, after the sleepless nights prior to her being admitted, we can not thank every member of staff enough.

Reply from Stuart Cumming, Marketing at Ashton Manor

My Auntie became a resident of Ashton Manor in early October 2022 and stayed there until she passed away 23rd December 2022. Short, but sweet. Her dementia had been getting worse and we realised it was no longer an option for her to stay at home with carers, so very reluctantly, I arranged for her move
to Ashton Manor. I soon realised that this was the best thing, not only for me but also for her. She loved it and even thought she was on holiday.
I was amazed by how wonderful all the staff were. When she became ill, she was taken to hospital, but they had no time to look after her. Ashton Manor quickly said, bring her home to us and we will look after her. I cannot thank them enough for the way they cared for her through her short stay here, but in particular, the last few days of her life. I, like many others, have always feared having to go into a home, but if that home was Ashton Manor, then I would eagerly go.

Reply from Stuart Cumming, Marketing at Ashton Manor

Hi Jean, thank you so much for sharing your experience with Ashton Manor. We're sorry for your loss and for the passing of your aunt.

We're really touched by your kind words about our staff. They truly care about their residents and we're glad they were able to make a difference for your aunt and for you. We're honoured to have been able to care for your aunt and support her, especially during her final days. We'll always remember your aunt fondly. From all the team at Ashton Manor.

I really want to thank the staff for the great care they have given my grandma over the past year. They are really nice and always go above and beyond to make her happy and comfortable. Her bedroom and the living room is always clean and there are lots of things for her to do there. I trust Ashton Manor
to take good care of my grandma and I would definitely recommend it to other families with elderly loved ones.

Mum moved into Ashton Manor 12 months ago (5th October 2020), from her own home of over 60 years. As Alzheimer’s progressed her mental and physical health was deteriorating we knew things had to change. Her safety and happiness being paramount finding the right home for her was not easy. Ashton Manor
had not opened, I visited, discussed care and facilities, took a look round; it felt right so mum's moving-in date was arranged. Yes, her memory has deteriorated, she was initially quite distressed and she lost some weight. For us, it has been hard through COVID not being able to call in to see her whenever we want to. Now 12 months on, mum is happy, she has gained weight, she is enjoying activities, she is smiling. For us seeing the pictures of her and knowing she is safe and very well cared for confirms that for mum, and for us, the right home has been found. All the staff at Ashton Manor provide truly excellent personalised care, we will be eternally grateful to every one of you. Thank you.

We've been so impressed with Ashton Manor since Granny moved in. The amount of daily activities that really get the residents involved is fantastic. She is always smiling and joining in, even proud to show off her painted nails and new haircuts. The food looks amazing. It's great to see the daily updates
on Facebook to see what they've all been up to each day, especially during Covid-19 when visiting wasn't allowed. It's a great comfort to the rest of the family to know that she's in the right place and getting all the care that she needs.

Reply from Megan Cox, Marketing Executive at Ashton Manor

Thank you for leaving such a lovely review. We love hearing that our residents have settled in so well and it's great to see your Granny joining in all the activities we have planned. Hopefully, you'll be able to join us for some afternoon tea soon!

Ashton Manor, excellent! My Mum has been twice for respite care it is such a relief to find a care home that really cares for her. The atmosphere is calm and welcoming. Although times have been trying since Ashton Manor opened, with Covid, they have managed it well and kept everyone safe. I feel so

Our neighbour for twenty-seven years has recently become a resident and it was lovely to see her in such good spirits, with her sense of humour and well-being clearly evident. The care manager and staff were very helpful and this new home is in pristine condition. It was a welcoming and very pleasant
experience.

After looking at several care homes for my husband who has dementia, my daughter and I chose Ashton Manor as it is brand new, beautifully furnished, and has all the latest technology. My husband began 4 weeks respite on 1st February. He settled well, enjoying lots of different activities and the excellent
food. As he was happy, we decided he should stay permanently in the best place for him. The staff are all lovely and caring, whilst keeping me informed.

When it came to that time, looking for care for Mum was a daunting prospect. I phoned so many places, spoke to so many people, looked online for help, advice and guidance. I asked for recommendations. I asked to look round. I asked for help. As soon as I spoke with the Manager from Ashton Manor I just
knew it was going to be right. I was welcomed to view the home at my convenience and as soon as I walked through the door it confirmed my feelings that this was the perfect place for mum. Modern, clean, beautiful decor, and a warm welcoming ambience. This home takes a person-centred approach to caring. Each resident treated as an individual with specific likes and needs. Nothing is too much trouble. I am kept informed and up to date regularly by committed and caring staff.
I and the rest of the family feel so relieved that mum is safe and cared for in such a lovely, environment. I can, and have recommended Aston Manor to others recently. It is, without doubt, in a league of its own.

My mum and I looked at various places prior to choosing Ashton Manor and we are absolutely delighted with our choice. The house itself is modern, contemporary and beautifully decorated and mum has an en suite room overlooking a pretty courtyard. All staff have been very helpful and pleasant, making
mum feel very secure and confident in this new life choice. Mum’s move couldn’t have been more positive and she is seeing it as a new phase in her life making the most of the activities on offer and enjoying the yummy food.

Ashton Manor was a breath of fresh air. Mum had been in a care home since the end of January 2020 and although it was a very homely care home it was too restrictive for what she needed. Mum is a 92-year-old with dementia so we were struggling especially during the pandemic to find and view a suitable
home. When we came across Ashton Manor and were allowed to visit before it opened, it was a place that when you walked in said: “this is the one”. We moved mum in as soon as was possible (20th Oct). The attention to the detail and focus on those little but so meaningful memory joggers were fantastic. Obviously being a new build the decor, furniture and facilities are top class. The change in mum is amazing and so visible. The staff, that obviously we have only met in passing on the way to the visiting pod are all very positive and we can’t wait to experience the full potential of Ashton Manor when pandemic restrictions are lifted. Please continue doing what you are doing.

As a family, we were reluctant for Mum to move into a care home, especially under the current circumstances, where visits to view were unable to take place. With Mum becoming more and more lonely and myself and my siblings all living away, we visited Ashton Manor and were so surprised by the fantastic
facilities and amenities.
Mum moved at the beginning of October and I cannot believe the change in her, she looks so well and is taking part in so many different activities, some that she hasn't done in years ie knitting, bingo and jigsaws to name a few. She also enjoys the sing-a-longs and dancing.
We are so lucky to have an iPad that the staff can help Mum to FaceTime the family, however, we have also been able to have garden visits.
The staff are fabulous and I want to thank them all for making Mum's transition so easy.

Reply from Sara Beardall, Home Manager at Ashton Manor

Thank you so much for your kind words, I will ensure all the team are aware of how happy you are, it's so rewarding to hear how care home life can improve the wellbeing of our residents and to hear family are so reassured, and of course, your mum makes it very easy, it's a pleasure to care for her.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.967)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.967) out of 10 for Ashton Manor is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.967 for Ashton Manor is calculated as follows: ( (235 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 243 Ratings = 4.967

  • 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 Manor is based on 21 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 67 registered maximum number of service users is 13.4, which has been reached with 21 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.

Introducing Lee, the inspiring Head Chef at Ashton Manor, an Evermore Care home. Beginning as a sous chef, Lee stepped up to the plate, or rather the kitchen, when the opportunity arose.

Despite the kitchen being "hard, fast-paced with a lot going on," Lee assures that the satisfaction far exceeds the challenges. The 5-star food and hygiene rating stands testament to his unwavering dedication and quality standards.


Off-duty, Lee's a football enthusiast, a keen cyclist, and a doting father. He relishes the work-life balance at Evermore Care, and thoroughly recommends Ashton Manor as "a great place to work".
