About Ashlett Dale Rest Home
Ashlett Dale Rest Home near Southampton is a residential care home for older people who need help with daily living. We support people living with dementia, people with physical disabilities and people with sight or hearing loss, and we offer respite stays. Our everyday work is the ordinary business of a household run well. Help with washing, dressing and moving about at the person's own pace and as privately as possible. Medication managed properly. Meals cooked here with real choice. Rooms that people make their own. Where there is sensory loss we attend to lighting, contrast and hearing aids that have actually been checked. We should be open about where we stand. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us requires improvement overall. We did not dispute what was found. Since then we have strengthened staffing and supervision, tightened how we manage medicines and the records we keep, and had senior staff check the care actually being given rather than the care described on paper. That work continues and we are not going to claim it is finished. We would far rather raise this ourselves and answer questions honestly than leave a family to find it out later. Anyone considering the home is welcome to visit and see how things are now.
