Questions families ask
Can prospective residents have a trial stay?
Yes. Prospective residents can arrange a trial stay of at least three weeks before deciding whether to move in permanently.
What is the minimum respite stay?
Respite care is available for a minimum of three weeks. The home assesses the person’s care needs and the required length of stay before admission.
How does the home respond when a resident’s care needs change?
Care plans are tailored to each resident and monitored continuously. They are reviewed in-house every three months and formally every six months, or when needs change.
Can the care home cater for special diets?
Yes. The in-house chefs cater to all dietary needs, with seasonal breakfast, lunch and dinner choices, hot and cold options, snacks and drinks. Meals can also be served in residents’ rooms.
Is there a hairdresser at the care home?
Yes. A professional hairdresser visits the in-house salon regularly to provide hair services. Salon services cost extra.
How much does The Ashton Care Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask The Ashton Care Home for its weekly fee. As a guide, Leicestershire council paid on average £1,032 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.
