About Ashlar House

Ashlar House provides nursing care in Epping for older people and younger adults, including people living with dementia. We also offer planned respite stays. Qualified nurses are here throughout the day and night, which means conditions can be managed steadily as they change, medicines are properly reviewed, and people who would otherwise face repeated hospital admissions can usually be looked after here by staff who know them well. For people approaching the end of their lives, it means comfort, dignity and family around them rather than an ambulance and an unfamiliar ward. Nursing alone would not make this a good place to live, so we work hard at the rest of it. Residents decide when to get up and how to spend their time, meals are meant to be enjoyed rather than administered, and relatives are welcome whenever they want to come. We would far rather somebody dropped in unannounced than felt they needed an appointment to see a member of their own family. For residents living with dementia we keep the day familiar and unhurried, and we work with what a person can still do rather than treating the diagnosis as the whole story. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We keep asking residents and families how we are doing.
