About Ashfield House Residential Home

Ashfield House in Leominster provides nursing care for older people, with qualified nurses on duty at all times. We support people living with dementia, people with physical disabilities and people with sight or hearing loss, and we offer respite stays as well as permanent places. People usually come to us when health needs have grown beyond what support at home or a residential home can meet. Nursing here means consistent attention to the things that keep a person comfortable and well: medicines, mobility, nutrition and hydration, skin, continence and pain, reviewed properly and talked through with the person and their family rather than handled quietly in the background. We involve GPs, district nurses and specialists early rather than late. Around that, ordinary life carries on. People rise when they wake, sit where they choose, keep their own furniture and photographs about them, and eat food that suits their taste as well as any clinical need. Where there is a physical disability we think about equipment, layout and timing. Where there is sensory loss we attend to lighting, contrast and hearing aids that have actually been checked. With dementia we rely on knowing somebody well, so we gather a person's history with their family and keep adding to it. When somebody is nearing the end of life we aim to be honest, present and unhurried. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall.
