About Ashdown Close

Ashdown Close is a residential care home in Southport supporting adults with learning disabilities, autistic adults, people living with mental ill health, people with physical disabilities and people living with sight or hearing loss, including younger adults. We also offer respite stays. That is a broad range, and it works because we are specific about each person rather than general about everybody. For an adult with a learning disability or an autistic adult it may mean a predictable routine, clear information given in good time, and support to manage money, appointments and getting out to a job or a course. For somebody living with mental ill health it may mean a settled, low pressure place to live and close work with the community mental health team. Where physical disability or sensory loss is part of the picture, equipment, access and how we communicate all get real attention. Every plan is written with the individual and reviewed properly. We run this as the residents' home, so people choose how their rooms look and have a real say in how their week is spent. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please arrange to visit.
