Ashridge Home Care

Home Care Awards

Delivering person centred professional care with a smile is at the heart of Ashridge Home Care and its efforts have been rewarded at an annual awards event partnered by the Homecare Association. The Home Care Awards aim to be the annual benchmark of excellence for UK companies and organisations providing all forms of care at home services. The business of home care is growing fast in the UK and these awards tease out brilliant examples of home care services and operations, give them due recognition, then celebrate their success at a memorable Awards occasion.

Representatives from the company received the accolade at a celebratory lunch in Bickenhill’s National Conference Centre in April which was attended by the care sector’s leading care companies. Newly appointed Managing Director, Louise Joslin, attended the awards with Care-Co-ordinator Chloe Timberlake.

Ashridge was shortlisted at the event for three awards and won the Live-In Care expertise category. It was also shortlisted for Recruitment and Training and received Finalist recognition for its marketing efforts.

Company Founder, Trudi Scrivener commented: “I have an amazing team of carers who look after their clients with the utmost attention to detail, making sure their life is fulfilled and all their needs are met. Everyone goes out of their way to ensure clients are happy, safe and living life to the full and it is a real pleasure to share this recognition with them!” She continued: “Industry awards are brilliant recognition, but positive client feedback is second to none.”

A client recently left a review on homecare. co.uk saying: “Ashridge Home Care have been caring for my mum for the last few years. They have been amazing in every way. Mum struggles with dementia and is unable to do certain things, but the extraordinary care and support offered by Ashridge allows her to live joyously and fulfilling day by day. They ensure the chores are done, they ensure the routines are organised and they ensure there is happiness in all of this. Thank you!”

Ashridge Home Care is one of the few care companies in the country to offer both full time live-in care as well as hourly visiting care with a minimum two-hour time slot, so carers really get to know their clients and build a meaningful relationship. Each care plan is tailor-made to the individual and clients and their families respond overwhelmingly positive to this personalised approach.

Dementia Action Week

Join Ashridge Founder Trudi and her team for coffee and cake and a supportive gathering for people living with dementia, their carers and loved ones at Speen Chapel on Thursday 18 May 11am until 1pm.

In the UK, there are about 800,000 people with dementia; it is estimated that around 400,000 people have dementia but do not know it. By raising awareness about this condition, it is hoped that more people will be diagnosed earlier, giving more time for them to come to terms with symptoms and put the right support in place.

Ashridge Home Care supports many clients living with dementia and this event enables people to ask questions and gather tips on how to approach difficult conversations with a loved one. Company founder Trudi is a Dementia Friends Ambassador and has worked in the care sector for many years. Trudi is passionate that with the right support everyone should be able to stay living in their own home for as long as possible.

If you can’t attend the event but have concerns or questions about a relative and dementia please call Ashridge on Tel 01494 917344.
