From initially speaking to this company about the possibility of them supplying a carer for my elderly partner I had total confidence that all would be well due to the professional approach and the way they listened to our requirements and acted on them. The carer they provided was incredibly good – caring, professional and full of empathy – I could not recommend them highly enough.

What is live-in care?
Live-in care is an increasingly popular alternative to residential care, as it allows your loved one to keep control of their life.
If living alone or with a partner is becoming difficult, we can provide that little bit of extra support they need to maintain as much of their independence as possible. From 24-hour live-in home care to visiting care, we offer a range of tailored services.
Moving into a residential care home is no longer the only option. Growing evidence supports that live-in care offers a better quality of life by allowing you or your loved one to remain in the safest place possible – at home. Whether you are seeking support for yourself or organising care for a family member or friend, live-in care provides everything needed to stay at home safely, regardless of health conditions. It is an ideal solution for those with complex health needs, providing both expert clinical support and vital companionship throughout the day. All you need is a spare bedroom for our carer and wi-fi access so that they can access our care management system.

What People Think About Us
Choosing care is one of the most significant decisions a family can make. We’re incredibly proud of the care and support we are able to provide our clients. Whether it is a few hours of visiting care, or a live-in carer, you can trust our team to provide personalised, expert care.
We were very impressed by the care provided by Ashridge Home Care Ltd. We had a full and comprehensive home assessment which made us feel reassured that my Mum in Law would receive the best possible care and so it proved.
The carer arrived every day to make sure Mum was safe and happy, to prepare lunch and spend quality time chatting and being pleasant company for her. When my daughter visited later on in the day Mum would tell her what a lovely lady her carer was. We highly recommend Ashridge Home Care knowing that we left Mum in such safe and caring hands.
Ashridge Home Care has given my mum excellent care at all different stages of her illness from being bedridden to post-op; rehabilitating her so she was able to regain independence and confidence again in her own home. Continuity, professionalism, compassion and empathy gave her a reason to get up in the morning. Mum is 91-years-old, thank you Ashridge.
My father is 100 yrs old this week and requires a full care service 24 hours a day , Betty provides this with a smile on her face always and with a professionalism and patience that is a credit to both her and you as the providing company . It is not easy coping with my fathers requirements , which can be onerous at times especially at night but Betty always seems to have the right attitude to any problem and has obviously formed a great understanding of how to handle any situation or challenge she is confronted with. We think Betty is a pretty special human being and that we are very lucky to have her looking after our father at this time in his life.
Having a live in carer looking after Midge while we are away gives us so much reassurance, we know that she is being well looked after and she enjoys the company. It’s a brilliant service and something we didn’t even know existed until recently!
We’re delighted with Lucy!! She is brilliant and lovely with my dad and they’ve bonded really well. It’s obviously a huge relief and thanks to you, Sarah and the team for finding ANOTHER great carer so well suited for my dad.
Ashridge provided an emergency placement for me when I needed a live-in carer on 24hrs notice. This was a godsend to me as my mother had advanced Alzheimer’s and my Dad had been rushed into hospital. I really appreciated the professional approach from all the staff I dealt with and felt very supported.
My father is 100 yrs old this week and requires a full care service 24 hours a day , Betty provides this with a smile on her face always and with a professionalism and patience that is a credit to both her and you as the providing company .
I love that Anca is now Mum’s official make-up artist and hair stylist! Mum is looking so well and gets many compliments when they bump into acquaintances at the village shop; this is giving her a well needed boost at this time. And they are both enjoying art sessions, with Mum ‘helping’ Anca produce some amazing pictures.
