"People like you are futureproofing their care in an Ashridge apartment"

Independence with care

Life in a luxury apartment within the exclusive Ashridge complex means you live with all the privacy of your own home, without the isolation or loneness many live with, plus the reassurance that any care and support you need (now or in the future) will be met without you having to move home again.

‘Ashridge means you can live the life you want, without any of the normal day to day stresses or worries;’

An inclusive monthly charge which includes all your meals, laundry and utility bills means you have peace of mind that you can live well within your budget.
Maintenance free and beautifully decorated, so you never again have to worry about big things like a roofing problem, or the little things such as having the right cash for the window clean or gardener.
Your capital is not swallowed up, enabling you to have financial choice, plus none of the fees, service charges or
resale problems associated with traditional retirement living.

Living at Ashridge means a unique combination of luxury apartment with support from carers and nurses discreetly available to you, if or when you need it. The amount of planned involvement you wish to have with the care team is determined by you, although you always have the reassurance that emergency help and support is available at all times, just a simple button press away.

‘Ashridge is your home and we are here to support you.’

Warm, safe and private

As lovely to look at as some big old houses are, they can be less fun to live in, heat or maintain. Ashridge is a home that is purpose built, beautifully appointed and fit for purpose. All apartments have an ensuite wetroom and your own private lounge with large windows, flooding the rooms with natural light and making the panoramic views easy to enjoy. Most have their own balcony, enabling you the freedom to enjoy a wake up coffee or an afternoon gin and tonic, with a breath of fresh air.

Keeping you connected

Ashridge has an enviable location close to Welwyn Garden City’s mainline train station and the town centre. The town offers shopping to suit all. Its John Lewis Department store can be a ‘one stop shop’, but if you venture out, it still has specialist independent shops.

As for getting there, don’t worry about ordering a taxi, our vehicles are available for you to book for these short trips out (reassuringly driven by a fully qualified staff member you know and who knows you).

As convenient as our town centre location is, we are also just a 10-minute car ride from the countryside for those who enjoy, walking, bird watching, golf or the lure of a country pub.

‘Living at Ashridge means your energy is kept for the fun bits of life.’

When not out and about, Ashridge is your safe haven. The courtyard garden is secure from strangers, with ample places to sit in the sun to read or to chat with friends (old and new). Depending on the apartment balcony you choose, the only sounds other than the birds is will be the primary school children playing in the distance.

Wi-Fi in every inch of the building means you can always connected. World news, online shopping and family wherever they live in the world (and whatever is happening in it) are a touch of a button away.
