About Ashgrove Residential Care Home
Ashgrove Residential Care Home is in Hornchurch. We care for older people, including those living with dementia, and we welcome respite guests as well as people moving in for the longer term. What we offer is fairly simple and we would rather describe it honestly than dress it up. A comfortable home, staff who are around and who know people well, help with the things that have become difficult, and a day that belongs to the person living it. People choose when to get up, what to eat, whether to join in with what is going on and whether they would rather be quiet with the paper. Staff help with washing, dressing, medication, meals and moving about, and they do it without making a performance of it. For people living with dementia we work on familiarity above all. The same staff, a day with a steady rhythm, and time to respond properly when somebody is confused or distressed. We ask families to tell us about a person's history because it is usually the key to understanding what they need in the moment. Moving a relative into a care home is a decision most families agonise over, so we try to make the early weeks as steady as we can, keeping in touch and being straightforward when something needs discussing. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please come and see the home and ask us whatever you want to know.
