About Ashgrove House Nursing Home

Ashgrove House Nursing Home is in Swindon, Wiltshire. We provide nursing care for older people, for people living with dementia and for adults with a physical disability, including younger adults, and we take respite admissions as well as permanent residents. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is outstanding. We are proud of that and we are also wary of it, because a rating describes a few days of scrutiny and what matters is the other three hundred and sixty. So we treat it as a standard to keep rather than a thing to advertise, and we are more interested in telling you how we work. Nursing here is detailed and quiet. Nurses are on duty at every hour. Medicines, wounds, pain, nutrition and pressure care are all done properly and recorded properly. The part that is harder to inspect is noticing, and that comes from continuity. Our staff stay, which means they know when a resident who is normally talkative has gone quiet, and they act on it. Around the nursing we try to keep life recognisable. People choose when to rise, what to wear, what to eat and who to see. Families are welcome at any reasonable hour and at unreasonable ones when circumstances call for it. For residents living with dementia we keep the day predictable and the surroundings calm. Come and see us. Arrive unannounced if you would rather, and ask the staff anything.
