About
Ashgrove House is a residential care home in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, with 30 registered beds. It supports older people, including people living with dementia and people with physical disabilities. A large extension has recently been completed, and its rooms have access to the gardens. Residents can choose from a menu at every mealtime, and texture-modified meals are prepared for those with swallowing difficulties. Visitors are welcome at any time, and families can arrange to share a meal with a relative. Staff are expected to observe the basic healthcare routines that are sometimes overlooked in care settings.
The Care Quality Commission rated the home Good overall in its 2018 report, with Good grades for all five key questions: safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led.
