Budgeting for this home

We estimate Ashcombe Court at £1,300–£1,590 a week for residential care, based on published prices in the region. Over a year that is roughly £68k–£83k.

Ask how often fees rise and whether they go up if care needs increase.

With savings below £23,250, North Somerset Council may contribute once it has carried out a free needs assessment.

What the ratings tell you

CQC rated every one of the five key questions Good here, so there is no weak spot in the published ratings.

For leadership (Well-led), it shares its Good rating with 73 of the 89 other care homes in North Somerset that CQC has rated.

History with CQC

CQC registration dates from January 2011, so the service has been operating for around 15 years under its current registration.

CQC has published 3 overall ratings for it (2015–2019), starting at Requires improvement and improving to Good.

The rating is 7 years old. CQC decides when to return based on risk, so age alone is not a warning sign; still, ask who the manager is now.

Reports on record: 6, with the most recent dated 21 May 2019.
