We are an active member of the Homecare Association and we always aim to exceed the stringent standards that are put in place by the Care Quality Commission (CQC).
Proud WINNER in different prestigious local and national care award categories that honour outstanding carers and Inspirational Care Leaders.
Our Awards:
Ashridge Home Care won two prestigious awards at the 2024 Buckinghamshire Business Awards. The “Excellence in Customer Experience” award reflects our absolute commitment to exceptional customer care. Choosing care can be a daunting experience for families and often comes at a time of crisis. Our team is dedicated to guiding them through these challenges, ensuring that people can remain in the comfort of their own homes.
This award is a reflection of the dedication, passion, and teamwork that our entire team puts into everything we do. At Ashridge, our mission has always been about making a positive impact in our community while delivering outstanding care and support to our clients.
The Community Champions Award, sponsored by Chandler Garvey, recognises businesses contributing to their communities through fundraising and support initiatives. The judges praised Ashridge’s professional yet caring approach, highlighting our strong values and commitment to customer care.
We were commended for our efforts in breaking down prejudices within the care industry and fostering a supportive environment for both clients and staff. Community is vital to a person’s well-being, and we strive to maintain strong relationships with local providers and charities.
The Care Quality Commission is the independent regulator of health and social care in England. They monitor, inspect, and regulate health and social care services, and publish their findings to help people make informed decisions about their care.
Being regulated by the CQC means that we must comply with their stringent standards. We have regular in-house audits to complement the external audits that the CQC put in place.
We constantly monitor the service we provide by:
The HomeCare Association has been raising the standard of homecare for over 25 years. As a member-led professional association, their mission is to promote high quality, sustainable care services so that people can continue to live at home and in their local community.
The Homecare Association is the professional association of home care providers from the independent, voluntary, not-for-profit and statutory sectors. The HomeCare Association helps organisations that provide social care (also known as domiciliary care or homecare), which may include nursing services, to people in their own homes, promoting high standards of care and providing representation with national and regional policy-makers and regulators. The Association represents over two-thousand members across the United Kingdom, in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Our founder, Trudi Scrivener, is a founding member of the Live-in Care Hub, a not-for-profit organisation committed to raising the quality of care in the UK by giving people the opportunity to be cared for at home, where they can still feel part of everyday life.
Founded in 2013, all care providers within the group share a vision to enlighten people on the benefits of live in care, guaranteeing the very highest standards.
Our training programmes exceed the recognised standards set by the Care Certificate
All our staff are trained using the nationally recognised standard of the Care Certificate. These standards are set by Skills for Care (www.skillsforcare.org.uk) and form the basis of inductions for all staff in a caring profession.
The Care Certificate provides a level of confidence, as all workers receive the same induction, regardless of where they work. They learn the same skills and behaviours to provide compassionate, safe, and high-quality care and support.
Here at Ashridge Home Care, we also provide an enhanced level of training, as it’s so important that our carers are aligned to our company values – demonstrating person-centred support for individuals, working around their own preferences and routines.
Care Campaign For The Vulnerable champions the work that dedicated carers are doing for elderly individuals and families across the UK. In 2018, one of Ashridge Home care’s own carers, Amy Collins, was awarded Outstanding Carer of the year.
We take pride in working with carers who share our values and who are committed to providing excellent care to those in need. It is this dedication from our carers which helps us to offer award winning care.
“Our carer is so wonderful and we wouldn’t want to lose her – she has been excellent looking after my father, the dogs and the house while my mother has been in hospital.”
“I and indeed the whole family are most appreciative of your warmth and kindnesses.”
Choosing care is a huge decision and not something that you should take lightly. Some of these conversations can be tricky and it’s our job to make sure you feel as comfortable as possible.
We are more than happy to visit you and your family at home to discuss your situation and consider the options available to you.
