About Ashtonleigh
Ashtonleigh is a care home in Horsham offering both residential and nursing care, which means somebody can stay with us as their needs change rather than having to move on at an already difficult moment. We care for older people, including people living with dementia, and we also support adults with a learning disability, autistic adults, people managing mental health conditions, people living with a physical disability and people with sight or hearing loss, including younger adults. That range works because our method stays the same. We learn how a person communicates, what their day ought to contain and what makes a difficult day, and we build support around that rather than around a fixed routine. Having qualified nurses on site means changes in health are picked up early and managed calmly, and it often spares somebody an avoidable hospital admission. Respite stays are available too, for people recovering after illness and for family carers who need a break. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We take that as a foundation. The more honest measure is whether people here look comfortable and whether relatives feel welcome at any reasonable hour. You would be very welcome to visit.
