The team at Barchester Ashchurch View have been amazing from the first communication to the last. They looked after my grandfather with the utmost care and we know he was in the safest hands. The team are brilliant. They took all the stress and worrying out of having to care for him at home for so long.
It's a very clean, pleasant care home and I recommend to everyone. Thank you all so much.

My mother has been at Barchester Ashchurch View for four months now and the staff I have met on my visits have been wonderful and so caring. She has a lovely room with views over the fields and although she is largely bedbound, the staff have recently encouraged her to get about in a chair which means
she can enjoy more of the excellent activity programme. Staff have made a particular effort to create a colourful plant area outside my other's window. Food is excellent and my mother can request extra fruit. I enjoy seeing the interaction of staff with my mother when I visit. Sometimes it feels like they struggle on staff numbers but certainly those working are so kind, friendly and helpful making Ashchurch a very special home.

My wife has been in residence for about two weeks, and although it took a while for her to settle in she now appears reasonably content. The welcome she received, with an attractive card, and a friendly relationship offered to me as well, was much appreciated, particularly after a difficult period in
hospital. The staff always appears to be cheerful and willing to help as much as possible, though I think she feels that calls for help sometimes seem to take rather a long time to materialize. The room is very pleasant and the appearance of cats at the window is always welcome, largely due to a life spent in their company. I realise that activities are minimal as she is bedridden, but she appreciates the company, and if any staff have spare time for a chat. That would always go down well.

The care given to residents is excellent and all efforts are made to ensure, wherever possible, residents are dressed, got up and taken to the dining room and lounge.
The food is first-class, with plenty of choice.
The layout is easy and safe with exits blocked but still access to outside space which
is so important.
Staff are all friendly and on first-name terms with visitors and residents. The care does not come cheap but it is well above average.

My wife spent 2 weeks in respite care at Ashchurch View. It was quite obvious from the outset that the home was very welcoming and homely.
All members of staff were superb and treated my wife with dignity and respect at all times.
I would not hesitate to recommend Ashchurch View to anyone in need
of permanent or respite care.

My mother and stepfather came for respite care for two weeks. Both had different needs but these were easily accommodated and met. The staff are all helpful, cheerful and caring and whilst both were a little uncertain at the beginning, they soon settled and enjoyed taking part in the activities. Dietary
requirements were also accommodated.

Reply from Catherine Crawshaw, Customer Relationship Manager at Barchester Ashchurch View

Thank you for taking the time to review Ashchurch View. We are committed to person-centred care and we are so pleased we were able to meet both your mother and stepfather's individual requirements in all areas, including their food preferences. It was a pleasure to care for them both and see them taking part in the range of activities the home offers.

I spent 4 weeks in respite care at Ashchurch View home and I can honestly say that I was made very welcome and always treated with respect and dignity. All of the staff were extremely kind and caring and always prepared to help if it was needed. I would not hesitate to recommend Ashchurch View to anyone
who needed care or respite. The accommodation was excellent and the food adequate, if somewhat late at times.

It was my mums 94th birthday on April 8th and we haven’t been able to celebrate with her for a while. We asked the home if we could have a party for her and 20 members of her family.
We were given a private room and the staff couldn’t do enough for us. They provided us with a fabulous buffet at a
reasonable cost. Tea and coffee were provided on our arrival.
Mum thoroughly enjoyed her day celebrating with her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Mum is very happy in the home the staff are very caring and professional. On a day to day basis mum seems quite content and happy and well looked after by all the great staff.

I came for respite care straight from the hospital where I had surgery. I had to have a low-fibre diet because of the aftermath of the operation. This was excellently provided for me. After being in a ward of six, I found the private room with my own shower room very restful, day and night. I was able
to sleep better than I did in the hospital. I realised the home was short-staffed (with an acting manager) as meals in the dining room took time (This did not worry me as I had to eat slowly). The staff were very helpful, I even had a cup of tea early in the morning, unlike the hospital there was no pressure on me to get up at a set time. A criticism is that the light in the shower room was dim and there was no main shaving point there.

The staff on York ward have been so kind and attentive during the last few weeks of my father-in-law's life. They treated him with dignity and made him comfortable and chatted with him every time they came into the room, even when he was unconscious. All staff were very helpful with updates when we
weren't able to visit. A lovely, friendly home.

My mother was looked after with dignity and respect. She was shown love, care and kindness during her stay. She loved the activities, especially the trips out such as the strawberry picking and the boat trip. Thank you to all the staff who made her last few months comfortable and secure. I and the whole
family are very grateful.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.605)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.605) out of 10 for Barchester Ashchurch View is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 33 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 33 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 4.605 for Barchester Ashchurch View is calculated as follows: ( (260 Excellents x 5) + (101 Goods x 4) + (26 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 387 Ratings = 4.605

  • 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 Barchester Ashchurch View is based on 33 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 33 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.

Being appointed as Deputy Manager has been the highlight of my career so far and I'm really enjoying working in the private care sector.

As a Deputy Manager, it is important to be diligent, organised and with a keen eye for detail but be caring and demonstrate the compassion which is imperative to this role. I'm very hard-working, have good interpersonal skills and I'm fully committed to the home and providing best-in-class care.


I'm proud to be working with such a fantastic team who makes a difference each and every day in the resident's lives. I love to see our residents enjoying the activities we put on in the home and it has become my favourite part of my working day. .


I relish supporting the Ashchurch View care team and I'm excited about our care journey where we are pushing to go from 'Good to Outstanding’.

Hello, my name is John and I'm delighted to be the Head Chef here at Ashchurch View.


Life before food was all about horses where I lived and breathed everything to do with the racing world. This came to an abrupt end when my horse and the upcoming jump had a 'disagreement'.


After my accident I decided to study food and have been fortunate to take my skills to locations worldwide, adding vibrance and flavour to my knowledge pot.


I joined the Barchester team in 2017 and really enjoy working within the elderly care sector as it's not just about tasty food but also about nutrition and planning a balanced diet for our residents.


It is great getting to know the residents individually and it's a pleasure to work for them as I get to try out new recipes and of course, old favourites. Diet is so important and I thrive at producing nutritious, seasonal, fresh and delicious recipes for our residents I believe this translates into the food I and the kitchen team, serve.
