We’re a small, family-run business, which means we have the flexibility to listen and make changes quickly. We take the time to get to know you and your loved ones, so the care we provide truly fits your needs.
We believe that the key to great care is a great team - when our staff are well supported, they’re empowered to deliver the highest standard of care every day.
We will do whatever is in our power to make your care personalised and right for you or your loved one. We don’t have a one-size-fits-all-approach or put any unnecessary restrictions in place. We feel everyone should have the choice to live their life their way and to live their life well. We love working with individuals to find out what makes them tick, what empowers them and work to bring them as much happiness and comfort as we can.
When someone joins us, they become part of our home and part of our family too. We take the time to get to know you and what’s important to you.
We believe in helping people truly live, not just exist. We embrace positive risk-taking to make your desires a reality, offering enriching activities, a vibrant community feel, and a focus on overall wellbeing. With our dedicated minibus service, we ensure you stay connected and engaged with the world around you.
We provide accessible and affordable care bespoke to your needs, whether through private arrangements or referrals from local authorities and professionals. We focus our resources where they matter most, ensuring you only pay for the services you need and the extras you truly want.
We are dedicated to delivering exceptional care while championing sustainability. Our commitment extends beyond our service users to the planet, integrating eco-friendly practices where possible into every aspect of our service.
Ashton Care is now owned by Rebecca. She is the daughter of the founder, our wonderful Nominated Individual, Sue Newman, who started the organisation in 1986. Sue was working as a mental health nurse in a hospital and wanted to help those she cared for regain some of their independence and return to a more personal home environment. She took out loans and re-mortgaged her home to make that dream a possibility.
So why ‘Ashton Care’? When Sue opened her first home, most people looked for care using the phone book. Sue had always liked the name Ashton and as it was near the beginning of the phone book, it seemed like a good fit.
We are proud to share that our Director, Rebecca, was named Employer of the Year at the 2025 Dynamic Awards, an event celebrating exceptional women in business. Rebecca was recognised for her commitment to creating an inclusive and empowering workplace culture. Her leadership has fostered a strong focus on employee well-being, professional development, and embracing diversity—making Ashton Care Group a place where people feel truly supported and inspired to grow.
Congratulations to our exceptional team member, Chloe, who won Registered Manager of the Year at the 2025 West Sussex Partners in Care (WSPiC) Accolades. Chloe was celebrated for her calm, supportive approach and her talent for introducing operational efficiencies that have helped her successfully manage two care homes. She is also mentoring and training two new home managers, sharing her knowledge and setting a high standard for leadership in care.
In 2024, Ashton Care Group was honoured to receive Head Office of the Year at the Stars of Social Care Awards. This award reflects the strength of our leadership team—Rebecca, Emily, and Emma—who bring years of hands-on care experience to their roles. Together, they’ve built an organisational structure that ensures consistent, high-quality support for managers and care teams across our services. Their collaborative approach helps keep every part of Ashton Care working together with shared purpose and vision.
