Ashmount is a 6 bed home for men with moderate to severe learning disability and autism. We visited Ashmount in March 2025 and spoke to family members to get their impressions of the service, both face to face and also using a survey that was emailed to the families who were happy for communication that way. We had feedback from 2 parents. No one living at Ashmount had capacity to speak to us and none of them communicated verbally.

Mental health
Following our visit to Ashmount we have made the following 3 recommendations.
- Explore long term support needs and whether advocates could help with some of the caring responsibilities of the parents of people as they get older.
- The team should continue to improve relationships and communication with the local hospital to best support peoples’ needs and reasonable adjustments when attending, in particular the Emergency Department.
- A general tidy up to the grounds of St Ebba’s site and ensure ongoing management.
