Swindon Care Homes - Ashbury Lodge
The other day a man asked me what I thought was the best time of life. "Why,"
I answered without a thought, "now".
(David Grayson)
Ashbury Lodge is a private care home situated on the outskirts of Swindon. It is a family run business. Chris and Geraldine Smith (the directors of Coate Water Care Co. Ltd) are based at Ashbury Lodge and oversee all activities. They are both trained professionals themselves and take an active caring role as and when required. Pauline Pletts, (Polly) the registered Care Manager at Ashbury Lodge, is responsible for the day to day management of the home.
Ashbury Lodge provides three distinct though complementary services.
The ground floor accommodation provides for the needs of residents who need less support and enjoy a high degree of independence being able to come and go as it pleases them.
On the first floor care and accommodation is provided to those with Dementia / Alzheimer's who need extra care. For reasons of safety and security, access to the Home is electronically controlled. There is a lift to the upper floors.
Each floor operates as a separate unit. The home also provides for older people who either have dementia type conditions or experience/d mental illness.
The day centre operates from 08:00 to 18:00 and activities are organised throughout the day for all.
Meals at Ashbury Lodge are freshly prepared daily using local suppliers. Meals are varied, nutritious and well balanced. Residents can choose their meals according to dietary requirements or personal taste. All meals are prepared on-site by our resident chef and his team. 
To make a house a home.. Ashbury Lodge has accommodation for 44 residents in 40 rooms. Each room is individual and unique and can be decorated, for long term residents, according to their taste. We never forget that this is home for our residents and everyone is encouraged to bring familiar items with them. However, soft furnishings must comply with our stringent fire safety standards!
The gardens provide a relaxing environment to enjoy the summer sunshine and is a favourite place for many throughout the seasons.
We pride ourselves on our homes facilities and the service we provide to our seniors. We have built an enviable reputation over the years and we are committed to maintaining standards.
