About Ashcroft Care Home
Ashcroft Care Home is a nursing home in Chesterfield. We care for older people who need nursing support, including those living with dementia, people with a physical disability and some younger adults. Respite stays are available as well as permanent places. Having registered nurses here around the clock means clinical needs are managed in the home. Wound care, catheters, diabetes, pain relief and the slow changes that come with frailty are handled by people who know the person, which spares a great deal of upheaval and means families can ring and speak to somebody who can actually say how the day has gone. Most of good nursing care is unglamorous and depends on reliability. Pressure care that does not slip. Mouth care that is not skipped. Someone sitting with a person who is frightened in the night. The rest of the job is making sure there is a life here and not only treatment. Residents choose their routines and their rooms are their own. With dementia we keep the surroundings calm and familiar and look for what lies behind distress. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We will not dress that up. We know what was identified, there is work in hand, and we would rather discuss it openly with anyone considering Ashcroft than have it come as a surprise. Please visit, ask us direct questions and see the home as it actually is.
