Meet The Manager
Linda Lovett is Manager at Ashbourne Care Home.
Situated in the Dibdale area of the historic market town of Dudley, Ashbourne Care Home delivers personalised residential, dementia and respite care with a strong sense of Black Country identity.
We’re proud of where we’re from, and many of our team have lived close by all their lives. We know that being greeted with a friendly “ow am ya?” each morning helps our residents maintain a sense of familiarity and family.
We think of our residents as family, which is why ensuring we provide choice and opportunities to be involved in all the important decisions is at the heart of everything we do.

Autumna has invited care providers to evidence the infection control measures they are carrying out, above and beyond those laid out by the government, in order to keep residents, staff and visitors safe.

| Connectivity for resident testing, monitoring & communications |

Infection control and the safety of both residents and staff often requires quarantine measures and the isolation of care home residents. To test, monitor and allow residents to communicate with relatives, the prevalence of room-level connectivity within the home is becoming increasingly relevant.

We love our outdoor areas, these are the perfect spots to relax or catch up with family and friends in the warmer months. Our dementia garden is a safe outside space with sensory plants and raised borders for our greenfingered residents. The main patio area offers views across our sweeping lawns, views which can also be enjoyed from our garden-view lounge and many of our bedrooms. Who doesn’t love to indulge in some pampering?! Our residents eagerly anticipate their visits to our on-site hair and beauty salon. Weekly time slots with our skilled, visiting hairstylist are available. Professional hairdressing services involve an additional fee, and our home manager can provide you with the current rates. We also offer beauty sessions as part of our activity programme, which includes nail treatments and soothing hand massages. |
