About Ashfield

Ashfield in Skipton is a residential care home providing care for older people and younger adults, including those living with dementia. We are a home rather than an institution, and we run the place accordingly. People keep their own routines as far as possible, have their own room and their own belongings, and are supported to carry on doing whatever they still manage for themselves. Doing things for people who do not need it is one of the quickest ways to take away confidence, and we try hard to avoid it. Staff help with washing and dressing, with moving about safely, with medication and with meals and drinks. For those living with dementia we keep the day predictable and the surroundings familiar, adjust how we communicate rather than expecting the person to adjust to us, and pay attention to what somebody is telling us when words are no longer reliable. Meals are cooked here with a genuine choice. There is company for those who want it and quiet for those who do not, and visitors are welcome. Respite and short stays can be arranged. If you would like to look round, please telephone us and we will arrange a time that suits you.
