About
Dove House Care Home in Ashbourne, Derbyshire, has 42 registered beds and provides nursing and dementia care for older people, younger adults, people with physical disabilities and people with sensory impairment. Staff help residents stay as active as they are able, and a varied activity programme lets each person find something suited to their interests and abilities. Residents can take part as they wish. Local schools, churches and community groups visit the home, and the home runs day trips in its minibus.
Meals are prepared by the home's chefs from locally sourced ingredients and are designed to be nutritionally balanced and suited to individual needs and tastes. Residents usually eat in the dining areas, but may choose a lounge or their own room instead. Snacks and fresh fruit are available throughout the day, not just at mealtimes.
