About Shaftesbury Ashley Place
Shaftesbury Ashley Place is a residential care home in Bognor Regis, West Sussex. We support older people who need help with daily living, adults with learning disabilities, autistic adults, people managing mental health conditions and people with physical disabilities, including those living with sight or hearing loss. The range of people we support is wide, and it means we plan around the individual rather than the category. We start with how somebody communicates, what they enjoy, what they find difficult and what they want to be able to do, and we write the plan from there. We are careful that helping does not slide into doing things for people that they would rather do themselves. The building and the routine matter as much as the support itself. Accessible spaces, clear layouts, quiet areas and a predictable shape to the day remove a great deal of unnecessary difficulty. For residents living with dementia, familiar surroundings and unhurried staff do more good than anything else we could offer. Life here should look like life anywhere else. People go out, see family and friends and keep up their own interests. Respite stays are available so that families can take a planned break. The Care Quality Commission rated us good at our most recent inspection. Please get in touch if you would like to visit.
