About Ashlodge
Here at Ashlodge, we provide residential care for older people in the heart of Bexhill on Sea, East Sussex. Our home is a place where residents are genuinely known as individuals, where the rhythms of daily life are shaped around the people who live here rather than the other way around. We specialise in older person care, residential care, dementia care and respite care. Whether someone is joining us for a short stay to recover or rest, or making Ashlodge their long term home, we work hard to make sure they feel comfortable, safe and valued from the very first day. Dementia care is a particular area of focus for us. We understand how much it matters to families to find a setting where their loved one will be treated with patience, consistency and genuine understanding. We take the time to learn each person's history, preferences and routines, because that knowledge shapes everything about how we support them. Our respite care gives families the reassurance of knowing their loved one is being well looked after, even if only for a short period. Many people who come to us for respite choose to return, which we take as a real sign that we are doing something right. We are proud that our most recent Care Quality Commission inspection rated us as Good. That outcome reflects the commitment of our whole team and the standards we hold ourselves to every day, but we never see it as a reason to stand still. We are always listening, always looking at how we can do better. If you are thinking about care for yourself or someone close to you, we would love to hear from you. Come and visit us and see Ashlodge for yourself.
