Dad has said the staff were very nice. he seems to be very relaxed which is positive. The actual home is very clean, relaxed and comfortable. Hopefully will use again. I could not fault anything. I personally have had a well-needed break. Dad has just said staff are brilliant.

My mum lived at Ashchurch View for two and a half years until she recently passed away. In the time she was there she was happy and regarded it as her home. What impressed me the most was a truly professional approach to each resident and the smiling, engaging staff. Thank you Ashchurch mum received
wonderful care.

We were asked, by the hospital, to visit several care homes and choose one that we thought would be suitable for our elderly friend. He required full care as he could no longer physically look after himself and his home was not suitable for adaption.
We chose Barchester Ashchurch View. The first impression
was good, friendly, very pleasant atmosphere, open and airy design.
Having visited many times during the months before the lockdown we knew we had made the right choice. He is well looked after; all the staff are friendly and get on with him very well. He is not a great eater now but what he has is good and he looks well. Although he prefers not to participate in the activities there is plenty for residents to do; the staff do keep him aware of what is going on in the home. By the way, his brain is as sharp as a pin!

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.

Job Title: General Manager

Joined: 2022

Hello, my name is Sam, and I am the General Manager here at Ashchurch View. Welcome to our website!


I have gained a wealth of experience within the health and social care sector and I began my nursing career in Guyana (South America) since then I have worked as a registered nurse and midwife. I then moved to the UK in 2004 working as a registered nurse in the NHS and care sector before going onto securing the role of Deputy Home Manager. I joined Barchester in 2022 as Deputy Home Manager here at Ashchurch View and I am now delighted to have been appointed General Manager.

Job Title: Deputy Manager

Joined: 2023

Hello, I'm Becky the Deputy Manager here at Ashchurch View Care Home.


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.


Before joining Barchester, I worked for the NHS, but have always been drawn back into care of the elderly.


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’.


Should you ever wish to talk with me, please don't hesitate to come and find me or pick up the telephone, I'm here to help.

Job Title: Senior Head Chef

Joined: 2017

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.
