About Ashwood Court - Unit 1
Ashwood Court in Warrington is a residential care home supporting adults living with mental health conditions. This work depends mostly on consistency. Knowing what an unsettled period looks like for a particular person, what tends to help early on, and what is simply part of who they are rather than a symptom to be managed. It also depends on staff who do not take a difficult day personally and who keep seeing the person rather than the diagnosis, which is easy to say and easy to lose sight of when somebody is unwell. We plan support with each individual and with the professionals involved in their care, and we aim to be a steady presence whether things are going well or not. Where people want to build towards more independence, whether in practical skills, work, education or their own accommodation, we support that at a pace they can manage. Where somebody needs a long settled stretch instead, that is an equally legitimate outcome. Respite stays are available for short periods of support or to give a family carer a planned break. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good, and we welcome enquiries from individuals, families and professionals.
