About Ashwood - Ware
Ashwood supports older people and younger adults with residential care, dementia care, nursing care and respite stays. Its care planning process begins with an assessment before moving in, allowing the team to understand a resident’s needs, preferences and routines. Relatives or friends can join that process if the resident wishes, and families may help with the move.
Daily life includes activities and minibus trips, while residents are encouraged to maintain interests, independence and personal routines. Rooms can be personalised with photographs and small belongings, subject to safety requirements. The home is part of Runwood Homes, a family-led provider, and a personal care plan is created in partnership with you. Self-funded residential and respite prices are published separately, so the applicable rate depends on the care arranged.

Questions families ask
What assessment is needed before moving into Ashwood?
A team member visits before moving in to assess needs, preferences and routines, helping the home provide the right level of care and support.
Can residents bring valuable belongings to Ashwood?
Valuable or irreplaceable items are not recommended because the home is not insured for their loss or replacement.
Can family and friends visit Ashwood at any time?
Yes. Visitors are always welcome, although the home asks that visiting times are discussed in advance where possible.
How much does Ashwood - Ware cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Ashwood - Ware for its weekly fee. As a guide, Hertfordshire council paid on average £922 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.
