It is registered to care for older people, people living with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism and people with a sensory impairment.

At its latest inspection, published July 2019, the CQC rated Ashridge Home Care Good, which means the CQC found the service performing well and meeting its expectations. Ratings can change after a new inspection, so read the CQC report before you decide.

Ashridge Home Care charges £38.48 an hour for hourly visits, a figure published on the agency's own website in September 2026. Two visits a day of an hour each comes to about £539 a week. Live-in care is from £1,700 a week. That is about 30% above the typical hourly rate in Buckinghamshire of £29.50.

On how it works, the agency says: employs its carers, 24/7 on-call, care within 24 hours, free assessment, male or female carer on request, takes direct payments and takes council-funded clients. Details like these come from the agency's own website and change, so confirm them when you call.
