Mum went in for respite care during the refitting of her bathroom. She settled well, although very reluctantly and would never admit this! All staff treated mum with respect and were always approachable. She refers to the friends she made during her stay and we hope to visit soon. Thank you all who
made this unsettling time calmer.

Overall Dad has settled quite well.
Dad has had 2 falls since being in the home and I also found him in soiled clothes on one occasion. There are also sometimes issues with his hearing aids no batteries or not in and dad is really deaf without them.
Dad has also lost his dentures, trousers and cardigans
all were named except dentures! The staff are approachable and Dad seems comfortable around the staff. The room is clean and comfortable. Possible more stimulation for the residents. Maybe singing, music.

The staff at Astley Hall are all extremely dedicated and caring. The care given is usually of a very high standard, with only minor, but extremely frustrating slip-ups. Mum uses hearing aids and whilst the personal care staff are very good at getting mum's aids fitted into her ears (mum has arthritis
in her hands and is unable to do this herself) they do on occasion forget to turn them on!
The staff have made mum transition into care home living a very calm and easy process, and Mum is busy making some new friends.

I had the most wonderful experience when visiting my dear friend who is currently a resident at the stunning Astley Hall Care Home.
From the very moment I walked through the door, the staff were so friendly and welcoming. It was the most warm and caring atmosphere. The relaxed, comfortable relationship
between staff and residents is evident and it is obvious how well loved and cared for my dear friend is. My dear friend is very happy in her home and has made so many special friends.
I am really looking forward to visiting again soon.
Oh, and I must add, the food is exceptional too!

Mum has been at Astley Hall since November and she's gradually settling in. We had a lovely Christmas Day lunch together and the staff were wonderful. The tables were decorated and the food was plentiful. It was a nice atmosphere. There was plenty of live entertainment over the holiday period and Mum
enjoyed that too. The staff are always welcoming and are very kind to the residents. Sometimes my mum is anxious and stressed with her dementia and they handle it very well and also let me know how she is. She had lived with me for 8 years prior to moving to Astley so it is sometimes difficult for her to adjust to residential care and I can only thank them all for helping her. She is always clean and tidy, as is her room.

Since my mother has been at Astley Hall Care home she has been treated with respect and kindness. She is always clean and looks very comfortable. The staff are very friendly and welcoming when you arrive. The nursing staff are great and always give me an update on how my mum is. The food always looks
great as well.

Astley Hall is a modern, light and very clean care home. The rooms are lovely and the Bistro/bar area is a great place to enjoy a coffee and to meet other residents and family. The staff are very caring, kind and understanding. The residents are well looked after and family and friends are encouraged
to join in with the many lovely activities organised at the home. Thank you Astley Hall for everything you do.

If there was a score for the service, care and attention to the residents by all the staff at Astley Hall it would be 11/10! Always a cheery smile and a welcome from all and it is clear to see the residents are happy and well cared for. Since my mum has been at Astley suffering from dementia and other
associated complex medical issues, she is much calmer and more settled.
Astley Hall is spotless, fresh and modern in all areas and the residents want for nothing. They have regular activities for them and they have the option to join or not. They also have a beautiful large garden and patio that is well used by residents and staff for other activities and enjoyment during the good weather months. Astley Hall actively encourages relatives and family friends to be involved with the residents and ensure plenty of drinks, snacks and the odd drink is available.
Definitely recommended and worth every penny for the peace of mind and comfort of our loved ones.

Reply from Daniel Worley, Community and Lifestyle Manager at Astley Hall

Thank you for your wonderful review about your experience as a relative/visitor at Astley Hall. we really do enjoy the relative getting involved as much as possible to enhance the resident's lives and well-being. We will pass on your kind words to the staff team.

Astley Hall stands out. It is a warm, friendly and caring home which gives outstanding care to Mum. I love visiting. I am welcomed warmly and enjoy spending time with carers and residents alike. A special feature is the Brasserie where Mum and I can sit and have a chat in a light airy space. We can
have a drink or order an afternoon tea. This feels like a treat and builds happy memories for all of us.

I cannot rate Astley Crown Hall highly enough. It has been one of the hardest decisions for me to place my mum in care and the staff have supported me and my mum every step of the way. Mum has settled much better than I thought and this is due to the care of the wonderful staff and activities and facilities.
Mum eats so much more now and especially enjoys the homemade trifle! Thank you to you all for letting me be a daughter again to my mum and enjoying some quality time.

This has been one of the hardest decisions we have had to make for my Dad. Although, I have to say, one of the best decisions we have made since his diagnosis seven years ago. The staff have been so kind and understanding and always willing to help with any issues. His room is spacious and pleasant
and always tidy. My Dad has settled so well from day one is a testament to their care. My Mum enjoys taking him home on a Sunday to give him Sunday lunch and spend some quality time together. It's lovely to have this flexibility. He is always happy to go back to Astley Hall and greets everyone each time. If there was one thing I could change, it would be to have more staff or clone the ones they have! I believe this is a UK problem in all homes.

The standard of care has really dropped in recent months with issues with my mum not being showered regularly and regular refusals to cooperate. Her clothing and shoes we buy go 'missing' and she often doesn't have any clean underwear in her room, even other people's clothing. Staff are often stood
around looking at their phones and not with residents and you can often telephone with no answer. All issues have been raised but not all resolved.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.412)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.412) out of 10 for Astley Hall is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 12 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 4.689 for Astley Hall is calculated as follows: ( (116 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 151 Ratings = 4.689

  • 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 4.723 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Astley Hall is based on 12 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 83 registered maximum number of service users is 16.6. 12 Positive Reviews ÷ 16.6 = 0.723

  • 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.
