About Us

We at Clarkson House Residential Care Home are proud to offer a warm and welcoming residential care setting in the heart of Ashton under Lyne, Tameside. Our home has been thoughtfully designed to provide comfort, dignity, and reassurance to every resident who joins our community, whether for long term living or a shorter respite stay.

Nestled within the OL postcode area of Ashton under Lyne, our home benefits from the friendly community spirit that defines this part of the North West. The local surroundings offer a familiar backdrop for residents, allowing families to visit easily and remain closely involved in the lives of their loved ones. Inside, we have created an environment that feels less like an institution and more like home, with communal spaces that encourage companionship alongside quieter areas where residents can enjoy peaceful moments of reflection.

Our care team supports a broad range of needs, and this breadth is one of the things that sets Clarkson House apart. We provide older person care and general residential care for those who need day to day support with the tasks that have become more challenging over time. We also offer specialised dementia care, delivered with patience, understanding, and a person centred approach that focuses on preserving identity, routine, and moments of joy. For residents living with mental health conditions, we provide a calm and structured environment where emotional wellbeing is nurtured alongside practical support.

We welcome younger adults as well as older residents, recognising that the need for compassionate residential care is not confined to any single stage of life. Our experience in supporting people with physical disabilities means that mobility challenges are met with sensitivity and practical solutions, and we are equipped to care for residents living with visual or hearing impairments, ensuring that communication and engagement remain at the heart of daily life. Respite care is also available for families who need short term support, whether to cover a holiday, recover from illness, or simply take a well earned break from caring responsibilities.

What all of this means in practice is that families can feel confident their loved one will be understood as an individual. We take time to learn each resident's history, preferences, and personality, so that care never feels generic. From favourite meals to cherished routines, small details matter to us because they matter to the people we look after.

Our most recent CQC inspection, carried out on 8 July 2025, awarded Clarkson House an overall rating of Good. Inspectors rated us Good across the Effective, Caring, Responsive, and Well led domains, reflecting the compassion and professionalism of our team and the strength of our leadership. The Safe domain was rated as Requires Improvement, and we are treating this as a valuable opportunity to strengthen our practice further. We are committed to ongoing improvement in this area and want families to know that transparency and continuous learning are central to how we operate.

If you are exploring residential care options for a parent, partner, or relative, we warmly invite you to get in touch with us at Clarkson House. Choosing a care home is one of the most important decisions a family can make, and we understand the weight of that choice. Please reach out to arrange a visit, ask questions, or simply have a conversation about what your loved one might need. We are here to listen, to reassure, and to help you feel confident about the next step.
