Family-run dementia care in Chesterfield

A calm, family-run care home overlooking the Derbyshire hills.

Ashgate House sits on the western edge of Chesterfield, where the town begins to give way to open country. From the house and its garden you look out across the fields to the Derbyshire hills, a view many of our residents knew long before they came to live here.

It feels like a home because it is one. The rooms have character, no two are quite alike, and residents fill them with their own pictures, furniture and favourite things. The garden is there to be used, and the weather and the seasons are part of the day.

The people who work here know every resident by name and by story: what they did, what they like, and what helps on a difficult day. We believe people living with dementia deserve to be known, not managed.

Ashgate House has been run by the same family since 1986. Come and see it for yourself.
