About this home

Ashgrove Residential Care Home is a CQC-registered residential care home in Hornchurch, run by Ashgrove Residential Care Home Ltd. Its CQC registration covers older people, including people living with dementia.

Around Hornchurch

Choice is wide here: the 25 nearest other care homes are all within 3 miles, 21 of them rated Good or Outstanding, and the closest is Fairkytes, under 0.5 miles away.

11 of the 22 nearest rated care homes have a more recent rating than this one.

It sits in St Andrew's ward, classed by ONS as urban (nearer to a major town or city), among the 30% least deprived neighbourhoods in England. NHS services here are planned by NHS North East London ICB.

Within about a 10-minute walk there is a GP surgery (1 min), a pharmacy (6 min), a shop (1 min), a park (3 min), a café (6 min), a bus stop (1 min) and a railway station (3 min), which matters for residents who can go out and for visiting family.

Likely fees

We estimate Ashgrove Residential Care Home at £1,500–£1,830 a week for residential care (dementia), based on published prices in the region. Over a year that is roughly £78k–£95k.

Ask whether the fee changes if needs increase, and what is extra: hairdressing, chiropody, outings and newspapers are often charged separately.

If savings are under the upper limit (£23,250 in England), Havering Council may pay part of the cost after a free care needs assessment.
