A safe and supportive place

Located near Ashford in Kent, a vibrant town which is well connected to the Kent coast and London with a strong community feel. Ashford Lodge is close to local shops, cafes, GP surgeries, pharmacies and leisure facilities with the town centre and Designer Outlet easily accessible. Surrounded by beautiful countryside and coastal areas, including Hythe Beach and Folkestone, which makes seaside trips and scenic walks part of our regular activities. Ashford also has theatre, cinema, parks and community events throughout the year which the people we support actively take part in.

The main house has eight ensuite rooms set over three floors – one on the ground floor, five on the first floor, and two open plan. There is a detached annexe in the grounds that provides a self-contained kitchen, lounge, and bedroom that has its own garden.

Lifestyle

At Ashford Lodge, people are supported to take part in a range of leisure activities in order to build on their social and communication skills. They regularly participate in dance courses, swimming, bowling, and cinema and visit the local trampoline park, nature parks and zoos. Ashford Lodge has a large garden with its very own vegetable patch, where people are supported to grow herbs and vegetables, which they then use for cooking.

Ashford Lodge could be described as a lively and active home, so it would suit somebody who enjoys keeping busy and is not averse to loud environments. People at this home like to be sociable in the communal areas but also enjoy their alone time in solo activities and quiet time in their own rooms.

The team will facilitate the development of independent living skills, including meal preparation, grocery shopping, budgeting, and self-care. People will also be supported to identify and maintain any volunteering, education and/or paid work placements.

“As a Home Manager, I believe in strong leadership, clear standards and compassionate care. My priority is creating a safe, respectful environment where people feel heard, valued and supported to live the fullest life possible”. Home Manager, Ashford Lodge
