Ash Court sits on a quiet residential street in Kentish Town, close to Camden Town, and within easy reach of families across north London. It is a purpose-built nursing home with a long-established team of registered nurses and care team members, where nurses are on duty 24 hours a day.
We offer nursing care, dementia care and respite care for people aged 55 and over. The home has 62 bedrooms over three floors, with bright lounges, a dining room, quiet corners to read in and a patio garden for warmer days. Inside, our lounge, reception and a number of the bedrooms have been refreshed in a style inspired by hygge, the Danish idea of cosiness and contentment found in simple comforts and good company.
The team and residents together create a warm, family atmosphere, where every day is the resident’s choice. Whether someone joins us for a short stay or a long-term one, every detail is shaped around the individual. We look forward to welcoming you to Ash Court.
Registered nurses are on duty 24 hours a day, supported by care team members who help with personal care and everyday routines. Every resident has a personal care plan, written with them and their family and reviewed as their needs change, and we work closely with GPs, hospital teams and the other healthcare professionals involved in each person’s care. The team has experience of caring for people with Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, motor neurone disease, epilepsy, acquired brain injury and other neurological conditions, as well as complex wounds. We also provide convalescent care after a hospital stay, and palliative and end of life care centred on comfort, dignity and the wishes of the resident and their family.
For residents living with dementia, familiar things matter. We keep to the routines people know, and encourage everyone to bring photographs, keepsakes and their own furnishings, so their room feels like theirs. Residents and families get to know the same faces, and the team gets to know them.
Ash Court has 62 bedrooms over three floors, each with an en-suite bathroom. We encourage every resident to bring photographs, keepsakes and their own furnishings, so their room feels like theirs. Beyond the bedrooms, there are bright lounges, a dining room, quiet corners to read in and a patio garden for warmer days. Inside, our lounge, reception and a number of the bedrooms have been refreshed in a style inspired by hygge, the Danish idea of cosiness and contentment found in simple comforts and good company.
There’s always something to look forward to, from in-house performances, crafts and quiz nights to trips to Camden Town and Finsbury Park. Family and friends are welcome any time, whether that’s for afternoon tea, a celebration or simply a catch-up in the lounge
Mealtimes are an important part of the day at Ash Court. We work with apetito, a leading provider of meals for care homes, whose recipes are developed by chefs, dietitians and nutritionists. Meals are adapted to each resident’s likes, dislikes and dietary needs, including texture-modified and other special diets. The dining room is a sociable place to eat, and in warmer weather the patio garden is used for barbecues.

Ash Court is a most warming and welcoming home. My friend is treated with respect and dignity. The manager and care staff are very informative, I cannot thank the staff enough for their care. The place has a nice homely feel and friends and relatives are made to feel welcome.
Ash Court Care Centre has met all our hopes. Very helpful, courteous and professional staff. A really nice ambience to the building's layout. I really couldn't recommend it more highly.
A lovely building, with a bright and immaculate interior, only surpassed by the friendly and caring staff who were on duty during my visit. It's now apparent why my friend is so content.
The care my friend receives is exceptional and the nurses really understand her health issues and deal with them immediately. I cannot recommend this care home highly enough.
Moving into a care home is a big step, and we take it at your pace. Before anyone moves in, we meet them and their family to understand their nursing care, medical and personal needs, working with any healthcare professionals already involved, and use this to put a personal care plan in place.
We encourage residents and families to visit first, to look around the rooms and communal areas, meet the team and ask anything they like.
Rooms aren’t always available at short notice, so it’s worth getting in touch early if you think you may need one. Call the team at Ash Court, and we can talk you through availability and arrange a tour.
Life at Ash Court Care Centre is engaging and multifaceted, and no two residents have identical preferences or interests. This guides our activity and entertainment schedule, where our wonderful coordinators are always happy to respond to requests or organise celebrations for special occasions or family events.
Remaining active, physically and mentally, is hugely important at every age. That could mean shopping in Camden, joining in with art sessions and flower arranging, forming part of a team during a fun quiz evening, watching speakers, musicians and performers, or taking in the fresh air in our gardens and helping to keep the flowers and beds looking their best.
Our facilities include a reliable, fast internet connection for residents who like to play games, communicate or watch videos online, a spacious terrace that is a perfect spot for al fresco dining and barbecues in pleasant weather, and private TVs in every suite for residents to access as they wish.
Alongside regular day trips, in-house entertainment, and activities, we ensure all residents can observe their faith or religion and have all the assistance needed to make friends, socialise or invite loved ones to visit us to spend quality time together or mark occasions such as birthdays and anniversaries.
Our location close to Camden Town, the Emirates Stadium and Finsbury Park provides ample opportunities to welcome residents to join a carer or group on days out – ensuring that each resident remains active within the community, with the support they need to make the most of sunny summer days or indulge in a little retail therapy from time to time.
We believe that a supported, happy lifestyle is just as essential as nursing assistance to manage healthcare conditions or limited mobility. The care team also hosts a wide array of activities within the comfort of our care centre. Popular options include quiz nights, garden parties, and barbecues, with every effort taken to ensure we take note of all the important factors, such as a sports team a resident might support to make sure they never miss an important match.
We are proud to offer an exceptional level of 24/7 nursing care, advanced facilities and amenities, and optional additional services, with a team of registered nurses, visiting therapists and highly trained care assistants with whom many residents form long-lasting friendships. All of the Forest Heathcare, Ash Court team are thoroughly vetted and adhere to stringent standards in terms of quality of care, kindness, and sensitivity, with background checks and professional training as standard.
Alongside practical and emotional support and encouraging all our residents to enjoy an active lifestyle, we can help with medical and healthcare needs, ranging from managing BiPap ventilators to enteral and PEG feeding systems.
Our nursing care and general care are augmented by our lifestyle and relaxation facilities, which include a beauty salon and barber, a library of books, movies, and computer games, a safe, secure patio and gardens, and quiet reading nooks.
Please get in touch with Ash Court Care Centre for more information about any of our care services, specialisms or facilities.
