About Ashgate House Care Home
We are Ashgate House Care Home in Chesterfield, Derbyshire. We provide nursing care for older people and younger adults, including people living with dementia and people managing mental health conditions, and we also offer respite stays for those who need nursing support for a short period. Registered nurses are on duty here at all hours, so we can look after people whose health needs are complex or changing and respond promptly when something alters. We work alongside local GPs, district nurses and specialist teams across Derbyshire so that problems are addressed early rather than at the point of crisis. The clinical work is careful and largely goes unnoticed when it is done properly: medicines managed accurately, skin and pressure areas watched, mobility supported, eating and drinking encouraged, pain treated rather than tolerated. What people actually experience is everything around it, so we put equal effort there. Rooms are personalised, days are unhurried, choices are real and nobody is obliged to join in with anything. Families are welcome without appointment and are encouraged to be as involved in care as suits them. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We treat it as a floor rather than an accomplishment and keep auditing ourselves. If you are considering nursing care in the Chesterfield area, please come and visit, meet the nursing team and ask us whatever you need to ask.
