About Ashling House
Ashling House is a residential care home in Hornchurch supporting older people and younger adults, including people living with dementia. The emphasis here falls on daily life rather than clinical routine. Meals, company, familiar habits, visitors coming and going, time outside, and something in the day worth getting up for. Practical help with washing, dressing, medication and mobility runs alongside all of that rather than replacing it. We think the first few weeks matter more than anything else we do. Moving into a care home is a significant upheaval however necessary it is, and how somebody is received sets the tone for a long while afterwards. So we take time over life histories, encourage people to bring their own furniture and pictures, and never push anyone into joining in before they are ready. For people living with dementia we plan around familiarity: consistent staff, consistent routines, and an approach that goes with the person rather than correcting them. Where somebody is unsettled, we look first for a cause we can address, whether that is pain, noise, boredom or something as ordinary as needing the toilet. Families are welcome whenever they want to come, and we would far rather hear a complaint early than a polite silence. Respite stays are available for planned breaks. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is Good. If you are considering a care home in Havering, come and see us on a normal day and make up your own mind.
