From first entry, staff were friendly and welcoming to all our family on our first visit to Ashworth Grange. They threw a lovely 80th tea for my gran in the cafe area, the spread was amazing and very much appreciated by us. A massive well done to all and keep up the good work.

We actually enjoy visiting our Mum, at your care home. We leave happy and knowing Mum is safe, in good hands. It is clean, pleasant and the staff are friendly, also helpful. We don't feel afraid to ask questions. The care plan has been gone through. We are asked if anything can be added or if we are
happy. We can't complain about anything. We are happy Mum is in a good place.

My mum came from another care home in August, how amazing and different two care homes can be. The only way I can explain this. Five stars!

Mum has been at Ashworth Grange for 12 months and has settled in really well. I asked mum how staff are here and what she thought of Ashworth Grange. Mum said everyone is lovely and kind and support her well. Her room is nice and the atmosphere good and liked that she can join in with the activities
with other residents or spend time in her room. I am happy that the time mum has been in care at Ashworth Grange her health and wellbeing has improved and I can trust staff to give mum the best care, treated with dignity and is in a safe, clean and friendly environment.

Enjoyable. Staff helpful. The food is alright not marvellous. If you feel tired you can rest.
Nice to listen to sing along with the good singers who visit.
Lovely gardens. Nice to have hair done regularly. Comfortable at night. Feel ok here.
Nothing I can think of where there is room for improvement.

Mam has been in nearly 12 months and from day one I told staff I would take mam's washing home and do it myself. Despite 2 notices in her room, clothes have gone missing and they still take her washing to the laundry. My brother and I have told the staff on lots of occasions but it seems to fall on
deaf ears.

My Dad has been a resident since June 2017. I feel he has really settled in and the care he receives in absolutely fantastic. My Dad is prone to pneumonia and the staff are really on the ball to see he starting with chest infections and the Doctor is called immediately. This puts my mind and the rest
of the family's at rest. The home is absolutely spot on in all aspects. All the staff are caring and the activities are non-stop. I wouldn't have my Dad anywhere else.

Since the day we came to visit, Ashworth Grange has been clean, had friendly staff and plenty to keep the residents busy.
Our mum is well looked after and the carers go out of their way to care for them and treat them like they would their own family.
If anyone has an 'accident' the carpet cleaner
comes straight out.
We once brought mum back from hospital late at night and when we got there all the chairs in the main area were being cleaned thoroughly ready for the next day.
It is very easy for people who fill in forms to say what they do but until they have a loved one staying in the home they won't understand the love and support the residents receive.
Regardless of the CQC reports, I wouldn't want my mum to be anywhere else.

The staff are warm and friendly and alert to residents needs. The staff have always readily responded to any requests I have made. The home is light, clean and cosy. Activities in the home are very good but I am not sure if there are enough activities. Similarly, I do not think enough outings take place.
In an ideal world, then there would be more staff. The staff are excellent in their treatment and care of residents, showing sympathy and empathy and are always good humoured in what can be a very demanding job. The staff put on excellent activities. My one concern is that my mum won't make her needs known - eg for a drink of water, a tissue, a cardigan. I have requested that the staff be alert to this - not sure this always happens.

My father has settled into Ashworth Grange very well. He has regained some confidence knowing that he is safe and cared for 24 hours a day. He looks stronger than when he first arrived. He tells us he likes the staff and that they look after him well. From a family point of view we feel happy when we
leave hin in the caring environment we sense when we visit. The staff make us feel welcome anytime.

I think the carers at the home are wonderful, nothing is too much trouble for them whenever I go they are very pleasant, also if they have any concerns they always make a point of having a word with me. If I ever had to go into a home this is the one I would choose.

I spent a lot of time looking for the best possible care home for my mother. Ashworth Grange was way a head in terms of the facilities and built quality. In the three years my mother has been in the home she has been fantastically cared for by all the team. They are proactive and sort any medical issues
immediately without requiring the family to chase. While being in a care home isn't ideal for the person or their family, the team at Ashworth Grange have been wonderful throughout.

My mum came into Ashworth Grange Care Home (residential) in November 2015. At first she was very unsure having had a bad experience with my dad who died of dementia 14 years ago and was very badly treated in a different home, not very far from Ashworth Grange. I too worried but my mum is now quite settled
and looked after well.
The staff are lovely to her and understand her needs. My mum had a massive stroke which took all her speech, but is fully understanding and can make her needs known, we are all happy.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.756)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.756) out of 10 for Ashworth Grange 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 93 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 93 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 4.756 for Ashworth Grange is calculated as follows: ( (841 Excellents x 5) + (211 Goods x 4) + (26 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 1078 Ratings = 4.756

  • 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 Ashworth Grange is based on 93 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 64 registered maximum number of service users is 12.8, which has been reached with 93 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.
