About
Ashby House - Milton Keynes is a care home run by Barchester Healthcare at 100 Chadwick Drive, off Saxon Street in Eaglestone West. It has 64 registered beds and provides nursing, residential, dementia and respite care, supporting people with dementia and younger adults under 65. The Care Quality Commission rated the home Good overall in its 2022 report, and graded each of the five key questions Good.
The home is in a quiet part of Milton Keynes, a short drive from the shopping centre, the theatre district and Stadium MK, and about 5 miles from junction 14 of the M1. Its dementia approach, known as Memory Lane, uses colour and visual cues to help residents find their way around, along with adapted crockery and tableware to support reminiscence. Residents live in separate smaller communities. Meals are cooked on the premises from fresh, locally produced ingredients, and respite stays can be booked up to a year in advance.
