About Ashmead Care Centre

Ashmead Care Centre is a nursing home in Wandsworth, south London. We care for older people who need qualified nursing alongside everyday support, including many who are living with dementia, and we offer respite stays for people who need a period of nursing care after a hospital admission or while a family carer takes a break. Having nurses on duty around the clock changes what we can manage safely at home here. Wounds, catheters, diabetes, pain relief and the complications that come with frailty are looked after on site, and we work closely with GPs, district nursing colleagues and hospital teams so that decisions are made calmly rather than in a crisis. Good nursing on its own is not enough, though. We pay attention to the ordinary things that make a day worth having. People choose when to get up, where to sit, what to eat and who to spend time with. For residents living with dementia, we follow the person rather than correct them, keep surroundings familiar and settled, and take the time to work out what is behind distress instead of simply managing it. Relatives are part of the household here and can visit and join us for a meal. We keep families properly informed, especially when someone becomes unwell. The Care Quality Commission rated us good overall at our most recent inspection. You are welcome to look round and meet the team before making any decision.
