Residents are also encouraged to develop their own interests and we enjoy organising events including tea dances and cake sales for residents to enjoy alongside the local community.

At Ashwood Park, we believe that everyone in our care should be able to maintain choice and control over their own lives. We appreciate how difficult the decision is to move into permanent or even short stay care and, our person-centred approach helps to make this transition as easy as possible.

We look to empower residents to make their own decisions about how they live their lives, which in turn ensures a much better quality of life.

We understand that people bring with them a life story of achievements, events and life experiences. We utilise these experiences and memories to ensure a tailored care package is established for each individual’s specific needs, particularly for those with memory loss.

Our assessments and bespoke plan of care, are co-ordinated between the individual themselves and their loved ones to ensure a truly person-centred approach.

Meal times are an important part of the day, our experienced catering staff prepare a varied seasonal menu of fresh, home cooked food every day and we cater for individual likes and dislikes from a cultural, religious or choice perspective.
