About Ash Tree
Ash Tree offers supported living accommodation for six adults with learning disabilities and complex needs. It also supports adults with mental health conditions, with individual support plans reviewed regularly to ensure the service continues to match each person’s requirements.
Support can range from around-the-clock cover to a few hours a day. Residents have their own bedrooms, which they are encouraged to personalise, alongside communal rooms for activities. The detached Victorian home has surrounding gardens and is close to local shops, cafés and transport routes. Support can range from around-the-clock cover to a few hours a day where the tenant’s plan identifies that level of assistance.

How much does Ash Tree cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Ash Tree for its weekly fee. As a guide, Leicestershire council paid on average £915 a week for a residential care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £982 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
