Ashlar House Care Home in Epping, Essex Ashlar House is a purpose-built care home in epping set in the peaceful surroundings of the beautiful Epping Forest, and within close proximity of Epping town. Both inside and out, this home is designed to provide a pleasant living environment combined with the highest levels of care for those who choose to stay with us. We provide 24-hour nursing care to people with a confirmed diagnosis of dementia, who are supported in our dedicated Memory Lane Community. For those who aren't looking for anything long-term, we also offer respite care. The Ashlar Club is our friendly, warm and welcoming day care centre and is also dedicated to providing expert dementia care for those living with the condition. The centre offers the opportunity to learn new skills and hobbies, or re-kindle past interestes. You will meet new friends at the centre and have the opportunity to join in with organised activities as well as a daily choice of delicious wholesome food. We have recently refurbished three secure and easily accessible courtyard gardens themed ‘seaside’, ‘sensory’ and a ‘working’ garden where we all potter and relax. It is our philosophy that Ashlar House exists for the people we support, and life does not stop because the individual needs care. We base our approach to everyone we care on maintaining dignity, independence and choice. Why not arrange a visit and see for yourself!
