About Ashleigh
Here at Ashleigh, we provide residential care for adults in the heart of Minchinhampton, a quiet and welcoming corner of Gloucestershire. Our home supports people with learning disabilities and autism, and we also offer respite care for those who need a short break or whose families need some additional breathing space. We know that choosing a care home is one of the most significant decisions a person or family will make, and we take that responsibility seriously. Our approach is straightforward: we get to know each person as an individual, understand what matters to them day to day, and work hard to make sure life here feels genuinely comfortable and familiar rather than clinical or institutional. People with learning disabilities and autism often thrive with consistency, clear communication and a calm environment, and that shapes the way we run everything at Ashleigh. We think carefully about routines, about how we communicate, and about making sure each person has real choice and control over their own life. Our respite care gives people the chance to stay with us for a shorter period, whether that is planned in advance or arranged at short notice. We aim to make those stays just as settled and positive as a longer term placement, so that everyone who comes through our door feels at ease from the start. We were rated Good by the Care Quality Commission at our most recent inspection, which reflects the honest, thoughtful work our team puts in every day. We are always looking at how we can improve and we welcome feedback from the people we support and their families. If you would like to find out more about Ashleigh or come and have a look around, please do get in touch. We are always happy to talk.
