I am blown away by all the staff at Ashley Court Care Home in Poole.
My mum has been a resident for 18 months and I have never found all the staff from reception, the amazing cleaner who in my mind leaves it absolutely spotless, carers and nurses anything other than really professional and give their
best every day! Christmas Day they kindly allowed me to join my mum for Christmas lunch and what an amazing team they are!
The 3 courses, with choices, was fantastic quality and they made such a big effort to make it very special and for this, I am truly grateful!
I was also so impressed how all the staff were celebrated by the home manager who clearly values all her staff.
I honestly couldn't have been made to feel any more welcome and want to thank all the staff from all my family for making it so special for us.

Reply from Gigy Johnson, Manager at Ashley Court Care Home

Ashley Court is an amazing care home which I highly recommend. All the staff are extremely friendly and welcoming and go out of their way to accommodate visitors and ensure that they meet the needs of all their residents. My aunt is clean, settled and happy. Her physical and mental health has improved
greatly since she arrived in March 2024. She views this home as her own home and she has a new zest for life and enjoys joining in with activities. I really think that she feels she is part of one big family. My aunt is extremely happy and settled. No criticisms whatsoever. Well done and thank you to all the staff!

My mother spent 3 months in hospital - probably 6 weeks longer than she needed as she was unable to go back to her own home. After much waiting, Mum was transferred to Ashley Court. She has only been there three weeks but has settled in very well and I can only say good things about the care she is
receiving. Absolutely outstanding.
Their kindness and professionalism both to her and me after what has been a very stressful time is better than I could have hoped for.
My main requirement for an 86-year-old with cognitive decline/dementia is that Mum be happy, safe and secure - and so far everyone at Ashley Court has delivered on this.

Reply from Gigy Johnson, Manager at Ashley Court Care Home

Thank you for your kind words. We are so pleased to hear that your mother has settled in well at Ashley Court and that you feel supported during this time.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.871)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.871) out of 10 for Ashley Court Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 60 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 60 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 4.871 for Ashley Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (626 Excellents x 5) + (80 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 712 Ratings = 4.871

  • 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 Ashley Court Care Home is based on 60 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 60 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.
