My mum's care is second to none. She gets really good care from the staff and management. They listen to us if we have any queries about mum. She is very happy there and if she is happy, I'm happy. I am always made to feel welcome when I visit mum. Staff go out of their way to make all residents happy
with all the activities they put on during the day for them. Thank you to all staff.

The visit ran smoothly; my uncle was so happy to see me. I had not seen him for 12-months, so did not know what his response would be! We talked a lot about family, which he remembered. He looked very smart, content and very happy. We are really happy with his care. He is been well looked after by the
staff, which is very reassuring, and it's clear to see. We love and miss him so much. The visit was priceless. Thank you.

I find it difficult to write a comprehensive review of the Care Home. My wife has been a resident for just over six months, but due to the Pandemic, I have never actually been inside the Home. However, I feel at this stage I could enter a 'part' review on our experience so far. My dealings have been
mainly by telephone/video call and recently a well-converted room for visits. The Staff have all been courteous, understanding and kind, and they have made my wife welcome. It is a great relief that she seems happy, well cared for and safe in their company. It is not always easy communicating by video chat, but the Staff help greatly in their gentle manner and experience. I feel confident that Ashworth Grange will look after my wife, and ensure that she is safe, well and happy. Thank you all.

This was the first time I've seen Mum in the visiting room. It was lovely to see her 'closer to' then we've been able for such a long time. She seemed relaxed and happy and although she found it difficult to hear, she was accompanied by a member of staff who was able to clarify.
It was reassuring
to see Mum looking well and happy. It seems obvious to me that she thinks the world of all the staff and that, in turn, they think the world of her. Thank you.

My mother lived at Ashworth Grange for 2 and a half years and found the environment comfortable and safe. The staff were conscientious towards the residents, showing safety, humour and thoroughness. Activities were varied, the environment pleasant and having a room with an outside door allowed her to
access the garden area. Staff were very professional and supportive of all residents.

After two happy years at the Ashworth Grange care home, my mother died peacefully in the home. The care workers treated my mother as if she was their mother. I could not have wished for better, more considerate, attention. Especially, in the last few weeks for her life, when she could not speak and
her eyesight failed, my mother was treated with dignity and love. Under these very difficult circumstances due to Covid restrictions, I could not visit her at all for several months. The staff went the extra mile to accommodate me with FaceTime and Zoom communications on their phones and computer tablets. Her end of life care was superb. Thanks, is too small a word to convey my gratitude to the staff of the Ashworth Grange care home. They were her angels on earth!

Ashworth Grange provided a wonderful safe and caring home to my father when his dementia got too difficult to look after him at home. Staff were excellent with him and also my mother who visited every day. A few words here cannot express my gratitude to all the staff there. True heroes.

We visited Mum today for the first time in 7 months because of COVID. It was a lovely experience. We sat outside and talked through a window. Although our Mum has dementia she clearly recognised us both. She smiled and laughed throughout the visit. I would like to thank Ashworth Grange for looking after
Mum in these difficult times. I would recommend Ashworth Grange as a place for a loved one to live their later years.

I called to attend to the spiritual needs of a resident of Ashworth Grange. I was met with pleasant staff who informed me of the need to wear a gown and gloves. The staff member assisted me with these and took me to see the resident who was in bed. The resident looked peaceful, comfortable and was in
every way dignified. I was given the privacy of being able to celebrate the sacrament of the sick which I appreciated. When leaving Ashworth Grange the staff were pleasant and helpful as they had been on my arrival.

My mother has been a resident at Ashworth Grange for just over a year. She has done so well. We, as a family, could not be happier with her care. We had a tea party for Mum's 90th birthday on the 24th of January. We held the party in the newly refurbished cafe, which is so much better. It is light and
bright and looks a lot more spacious than before. Mum really enjoyed her family and friends being with her on her special day.

I find the care home very nice and the staff are lovely to mum. Since she has been in here mum is a lot happier and knowing mum is cared for 24hrs and knowing she is safe. I would highly recommend this care home to stay. Mum has plenty of company and they do lots of activities which is very good, the
food is very good too. Excellent service and highly recommend it to anyone.

When our family had to look for a new care home for Dad last October. We were lucky that Ashworth Grange were re-opening a new wing and had availability to care for Dad.
This has turned out to be a good decision for the family.
The ward is kept clean, the carers are fantastic with Dad. The home have
activities on every day as well as taking residents out occasionally.
Dad recently went on a barge trip with lunch and this week is going to be a sensory farm. Our family is very happy with the facilities and the way Dad is treated.

Thank you for kindly taking the time to write a review of Ashworth Grange. We are proud to offer a full and varied daily activity programme, including many trips out of the home and I am pleased to hear that your dad is taking part. The barge trip was a real hit with our residents and I am sure Hope View farm will be just as enjoyable.
Maybe your dad would like to try Street Bikes which is a cycling experience for mixed abilities. Thank you again for your kind words which we will share with the whole staff team.

As a family, we were introduced to Ashworth Grange late summer 2018 and what a difference it has made to our family. I feel safe because my husband is safe happy and contented. They have allowed him to display his pots from his collection in the vestibule also arranging for him to have a study so he
can create, how many homes do that? When I go home I feel happy so does the rest of the family.

After much research around the care homes that could cater to my mum's needs, I finally settled on Ashworth Grange. The moment I walked in to look around, I was impressed with the home, the facilities and the staff (I arrived unannounced) and I am so glad I choose this home. It was a big decision for
me to make and not without a suitable amount of guilt. Mum moved to Ashworth Grange in October and settled very quickly, with encouragement from the staff she joined in the activities which she has thoroughly enjoyed. The rooms are of a good size and can easily be made a 'home from home' with personal possessions. The staff are lovely and great at what they do, nothing is too much trouble for them. Mum tells me the food is really nice, so hats off to the catering staff as mum is hard to please and will let you know if it's not up to standard. The management is 2nd to none, always approachable, the manageress is a star. I can sleep easier knowing mum is looked after and is safe, 5* rating, thank you.

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.
