About Aspen House
Aspen House is a residential care home in Rushden. We support older people and younger adults, including adults with learning disabilities and autistic adults, and we offer respite stays alongside permanent places. This is somebody's home before it is anything else. The people who live here choose how their rooms look, have a real say in meals and in the shape of the week, and are supported to keep up the relationships and interests that matter to them. The ordinary business of having preferences and making choices should not quietly disappear because somebody lives in a supported setting. Support is planned around each person. For some that means a full and busy week out in Rushden and the surrounding area, with work, college, clubs and family time. For others it means a quieter and highly predictable rhythm, which is an equally good way to live. With autistic people in particular we pay close attention to routine, to warning of change and to the sensory side of the environment. We give practical help with personal care, medication, meals and mobility, and we aim to give only as much as is wanted so that people keep hold of what they can do for themselves. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are considering Aspen House for yourself or for someone you support, please get in touch and come and look round.
