About Ashmore Nursing Home

Ashmore Nursing Home is a nursing home in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk. We provide nursing care for older people and we also offer respite stays, whether that is to give a family carer a break or to support somebody through a period of recovery. Having qualified nurses on site means people can stay with us as their health needs change rather than facing another move, which matters a great deal to families who have already been through one difficult transition. But the clinical side is only part of it. Most of what makes a day good or bad here has little to do with nursing. It is whether somebody was helped at their own pace, whether the food was something they actually wanted, whether their room feels like theirs, and whether they were asked rather than told. We need to be straightforward about where we stand. Our most recent overall judgement from the Care Quality Commission was that we require improvement. We accepted the findings rather than arguing with them, we have an action plan in place and we are working through it with colleagues in health and the local authority. Families deserve to hear that from us directly instead of finding it elsewhere. If you are considering Ashmore for a relative, please come and visit. Look at the home properly, speak to our nurses and the people living here, and ask us exactly what the concerns were and what we have changed. We will answer plainly rather than steering you towards a brochure.
