Ashridge Court Care Home

The health, safety and wellbeing of our residents and staff is our top priority. With this in mind we have added a host of new additional safety measures at our facilities to ensure that our residents may continue to live their lives as they choose with minimal inconvenience. 

Infection control and the safety of both residents and staff often requires quarantine measures and the isolation of care home residents. To test, monitor and allow residents to communicate with relatives, the prevalence of room-level connectivity within the home is becoming increasingly relevant.

Yes, our care home has WiFi in all our resident’s rooms.

Mobile Phone Network Coverage (mobile “signal”)

Yes, our care home has mobile phone signal in all our resident’s rooms.

Family Portal

Our home is spacious and comfortable with all modern facilities, including specialist equipment to help move residents carefully and safely. 

There is lift access between the floors, and all areas are wheelchair accessible. Free WiFi is also available throughout the home.

The communal areas, including the Channel View and Hazel lounges and dining rooms overlooking the gardens, provide comfortable spaces to socialise with guests or other residents, or sit quietly and enjoy pleasant weather.

The café-style bar offers refreshments such as freshly baked cakes and biscuits, throughout the day.

The extensive private gardens have been carefully designed to be wheelchair accessible and well-planned decks offer superb views over the coastline. On-site parking is available for visitors, who are welcome at any time.

We have 51 spacious and comfortably furnished rooms offering superb general nursing care, plus 16 in Hazel Wing, our specialist dementia care unit. All rooms are equipped with free wi-fi, TV and DVD, telephone points, a nurse call system and an adjustable automatic bed with a control handset for additional comfort. The rooms have en-suite or wet-room facilities and many overlook our lovely grounds and/or the sea.

We encourage new residents and the families to personalise your room with pictures and photographs that are special to them – photographs of family, friends, or yourself at different times in your life.

We have an active social life in our home with plenty of opportunities to make new friends and participate in a variety of interesting activities and day trips.

This is important because an active life can help to keep you more alert, mobile and happier, with better health and wellbeing overall.

Our activities co-ordinators create a monthly programme of activities - from entertainments, such as visiting singers and film matinees, to painting and crafts, baking, gardening, quizzes and yoga. If your preferred hobby isn’t on the list, we can support you to continue with it. Even if you find moving about difficult, it is still important to get as much exercise as possible, so we also organise gentle exercise sessions, to help keep you mobile.

Family and friends are welcome to join in with activities, and we also organise special events (like our annual summer fête, for example) to which we invite your family, friends and local community groups. If you like to get out and about, we can arrange for someone to go shopping with you and the activities team also arranges group trips and meals out.

Or it might be that what you want is as simple as to read, watch TV or listen to the radio in the quiet of your own room. Or someone to sit with you and read the paper, talk about things that are important to you, or help you keep in touch with your loved ones via post, email or Skype. Whatever you prefer, the choice is yours.
