Ashcombe Court

Ashcombe Court adopts the holistic Recovery Model, complemented by close collaboration with our Positive Behaviour Support Team. This ensures a comprehensive and person-centred approach to each individual’s care.

To facilitate this approach, we establish weekly diaries for each individual, serving as a guiding framework predominantly for personal appointments. However, we prioritise daily guidance from each individual regarding tasks or activities they wish to engage in. This allows us to tailor our support according to their preferences and needs, fostering a more personalised and fulfilling experience.

Ashcombe Court features 8 bedrooms, each with its own ensuite for the comfort and privacy of the individuals we support. Conveniently, two wheelchair-accessible rooms are situated on the ground floor to ensure accessibility.

The service includes a spacious lounge area with a view of the front of the building, providing a welcoming and comfortable space. Additionally, a dedicated dining room equipped with facilities allows individuals to prepare drinks and simple snacks.

Moreover, our kitchen area enables staff to support residents in preparing their own meals, promoting independence and choice in their daily routines.

For outdoor relaxation, there’s a small decking area at the back of the home. In the future, we have plans to introduce planters and pagodas, enhancing the outdoor experience and providing a serene environment for the individuals we support at the front of the home.

Ashcombe Court, nestled in Weston-Super-Mare, strategically places itself near various local amenities, ensuring convenient access for the individuals we support. Within walking distance, supermarkets, the Sovereign shopping centre, and the vibrant All-Stars complex offer diverse options for daily needs and entertainment. This includes bowling, karaoke, and a coffee area. Moreover, easy access to a local cinema and the Hutton Moore sports centre with its swimming pool enriches the leisure options available.

The scenic Grand Pier, positioned along the seafront, becomes a hub for numerous local activities and year-round events, fostering avenues for community engagement and entertainment.

At Ashcombe Court, we prioritise capturing the fun and engaging activities in which the people we support actively participate. From tie-dye T-shirt decorating to creating personalised plant pots for their sunflowers, we ensure a diverse range of experiences. Our theme nights transport everyone to different parts of the world, indulging in international cuisines and immersive activities. For instance, we’ve celebrated a vibrant Indian night adorned with flowers, where both the home and staff adorned colourful saris, and a Hungarian-themed night that included an enjoyable plastic axe throwing activity.

In addition, we’ve encouraged individuals to showcase their culinary skills through our own version of ‘Come Dine with Me.’ Participants planned and prepared three course meals within a budget, receiving marks akin to the popular TV show, with a well-deserved voucher for the winner.

Furthermore, we believe in enabling short breaks for our people, allowing them to explore places like Liverpool, Weymouth, and Blackpool, with more exciting holiday plans in the pipeline. We take pride in supporting individuals to pursue their interests, such as one person who connected with the Salvation Army and secured a voluntary gardening role at Grove Park.
