About Ashcroft Nursing Home

Ashcroft Nursing Home is in Cleckheaton, and we provide residential care for older people and younger adults. We support people living with dementia, adults with learning disabilities and autistic adults, people with physical disabilities and people with visual or hearing impairment, and we offer respite stays alongside permanent places. Because the people who live here have quite different needs, we plan for each person individually rather than running a single day that everyone has to fit into. For one resident a good day is calm, quiet and entirely predictable; for another it is sociable and busy. Both take thought to support well. We help with washing, dressing, medication, meals and mobility, and we try to give only as much help as is genuinely wanted. Independence is easily eroded by being over helpful, and we watch for that. For residents living with dementia and for autistic residents, we pay close attention to environment, routine, familiarity of staff and giving proper warning before anything changes. Where somebody has a sensory impairment we adapt how we communicate and keep things arranged where they expect to find them. Respite stays are planned with the same care as any other admission. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. You are welcome to come and visit Ashcroft, and we would much rather you saw the home for yourself than took anything here on trust.
