The impact that social isolation has for older Deaf adults in a hearing care home setting can have a detrimental effect on resident’s wellbeing and our mission is to reduce the impact. We also recognise the cultural needs of our Deaf residents by bridging the gap between the Deaf Community and Devonshire to ensure that British Sign Language and Deaf Culture is rooted in the care we provide. All our staff are either native British Sign Language users or have minimum Level 2 (or working towards).

Our Community Links

We understand the importance of building and fostering strong community connections for our homes. We are always on the lookout for ways to support our local communities, frequently through hosting events and sponsoring groups. This not only improves the quality of life within our communities but also empowers residents to live more fulfilling lives and stay engaged with the local community.

Our Food

Here at Ashmere, we understand the significance of providing nutritious meals. We believe that everyone, especially the elderly, deserves access to quality nutrition. Our care home meals are prepared using reputable food sources and prepared on-site ensuring they are both delicious and nourishing with high-quality ingredients.
