Questions families ask
Can residents try the care home before committing?
Yes. They offer complimentary trial days, short stays or day visits, and treat the first month as a trial period without requiring a month's notice.
Do they accept couples who want to live together?
Yes. They welcome couples who wish to live together, subject to room availability and an assessment of both people's care needs.
Can they accommodate allergies and special dietary requirements?
Yes. They cater for a wide range of dietary needs and preferences, including allergies, religious requirements, personal choices and modified diets.
Do they provide hairdressing and chiropody services?
Yes. Every home has an on-site hairdressing salon and offers chiropody. These services are extra and are arranged through the home team.
Can residents have pets or receive pet visits?
Pet visits are welcome. Some homes may also support small companion animals, although full-time pets cannot always be accommodated.
How much does Ashbourne Lodge cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Ashbourne Lodge for its weekly fee. As a guide, Derbyshire council paid on average £1,144 a week for a nursing care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £1,102 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
