Ashridge Home Care

Earlier this week, our Founder, Trudi, joined an update from the Alzheimer's Society about the new approach to delivering Dementia Friends Information Sessions — a brilliant initiative we’re honoured to be part of.

These sessions remind us how powerful it is when a community comes together with empathy and understanding. They help break down barriers, reduce stigma, and ensure that people living with dementia — and those who care for them — feel supported and included.

One participant summed it up beautifully: “I found the session informative and the way of presenting it empathetic and kind. I left feeling empowered in my position as daughter/carer and more positive about facing the future.”

At Ashridge, we’re proud to play a small part in building a community rooted in understanding, compassion, and support for those living with dementia and their families. 💙

👉 If you’d like to learn more about becoming a Dementia Friend, or join one of our Memory Cafés here in Buckinghamshire, please get in touch with our lovely Dementia Ambassadors — they’d love to hear from you.

☕ Our next Memory Café will be held next Friday (10am–12pm) at the Chilterns Neuro Centre — Everyone’s welcome to come along, meet others, and enjoy a warm, friendly chat. 😊

Did you know that around 60% of families feel rushed when arranging care for a loved one? That’s why we offer the option to trial live-in care — giving you peace of mind and the chance to see if it’s the right fit before making a long-term decision.💙

Is it possible to try live in care? Whether you or your loved one has had a deterioration in health or are awaiting hospital discharge, a short period of live-in care could be for you.

A stroke can profoundly impact someone’s life, often making it difficult for them to care for themselves or live as they once did without additional support. After-stroke care at home offers a compassionate, person-centred approach that prioritises recovery in the comfort of familiar surroundings.

With an experienced care professional on hand to assist with daily tasks, after-stroke care helps loved ones focus on what matters—healing and spending quality time with family. Staying at home means they can retain their independence while receiving expert support tailored to their needs.

This , let’s spread awareness and empower families with the knowledge that recovery can happen at home, in a place of comfort and care. 💙

At Ashridge, we believe in showing up for causes that matter. Today, our team proudly wore pink to raise awareness and stand in solidarity with all those affected with breast cancer. Let’s keep raising awareness, supporting one another, and encouraging the people we love to prioritise their health. 🩷

Right now, 1 in 3 people with dementia in the UK are living without a formal diagnosis.

Without it, they miss out on the right care, support, and peace of mind that early intervention can bring — for themselves and their families.

A timely diagnosis can’t fix everything, but it can change everything — helping people plan ahead, access treatment, and live well for longer.

That’s why we’re supporting Alzheimer’s Research UK’s campaign, Dementia Unseen, calling on the Government to make earlier, more accurate diagnosis a national priority.🙏

Caring for a loved one is one of the most rewarding things we can do — but it can also be exhausting. Everyone needs time to rest, recharge, and look after their own wellbeing, too. That’s where respite care comes in.😊

Whether you’re caring for a parent with dementia or supporting someone recovering after a hospital stay or surgery, finding the right respite care provider can make all the difference.

In our latest blog, we explore:

✅ What to consider before arranging respite care
✅ How to identify a trusted, qualified provider
✅ The importance of personalised care plans
✅ What to ask when enquiring about respite services

At Ashridge, we believe taking a break shouldn’t come with guilt or worry. Our highly trained, empathetic carers step in with compassion and consistency, ensuring your loved one is supported — and you have peace of mind. 💙
