What inspectors found
From the Care Quality Commission's assessment published 18 June 2026 (assessment visit 20 November 2025). Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Ash Court Care Service (Ash Court) is a 62-bed care and nursing home for older people. We carried out an assessment of this service between 9 December 2025 and 3 February 2026. This included a combination of 2 on-site inspection days and remote assessment. Ash Court is part of Forest Healthcare.
This was a comprehensive inspection carried out due to the age of the existing rating.
Read the full summary
The provider was previously in breach of legal regulations relating to safe care and treatment and good governance[RS1.1][LG1.2]. Since or last inspection improvements have been made and the service was no longer in breach of those regulations.
During our visit, we identified some safety concerns in relation to the environment, including a missing emergency pull cord and trip hazards. This was brought to the attention of the registered manager and promptly resolved.
During our assessment, we saw evidence of person-centred care. People were well known to staff and treated as individuals.
Staff had relevant care work experience and received regular training. They were encouraged to undergo additional training to expand their skills.
The home was undergoing some refurbishment works at the time of our visit but remained a clean and welcoming environment.
There was a learning culture in Ash Court and improvements were made in response to complaints. This was shared with staff and partners in a transparent manner.
All feedback we received from partner agencies was positive.
