Delivering home care in Southend
with respect, compassion and dignity
One of Southend's leading and longest-serving social care providers.
Founded in 1987, we remain a family-run home care company with a strong family ethos. We supply care under contract to the Southend-on-Sea Borough Council, the Local Health Authority and to private clients – including those receiving Direct Payment assistance.
Our range of services is extensive and includes domiciliary care, respite, re-enablement, emergency response services and much more. You can find information here about the full remit of services provided to local people in their own homes.
Everyone at Ashley Care, from its senior management to those working out in the community delivering day-to-day care, takes great pride in the important work we do. We consider it a privilege to serve our clients with respect, compassion and dignity.
This core belief is at the heart of the company and underpins its success and the quality care outcomes we can achieve.
Viv Storey
Managing director & Founder
The company’s founder and Managing Director, Viv Storey, has been at the forefront of Southend’s social care provision for over 30 years.
In the late 80s, before the Care Quality Commission existed, and Southend was part of Essex County Council, Viv was actively involved in establishing and promoting the Southend Care Homes Association. She worked with various charities to help protect the rights of the less able and most vulnerable of the town, and to lay the foundations for better regulation in the sector.
Viv is still at the forefront of development and reform in care and actively involved with the UK Home Care Association. She is, and always has been, the voice of the profession at a local and national Government level.
One of the largest providers in homecare in Southend
Ashley Care has provided care under contract to the Local Authority for over three decades with the mandate that quality care is for everybody and should never depend on whether somebody can pay for it or not.
Now one of the largest providers in homecare in Southend, our dedicated and hardworking team makes thousands of visits a week to those that need us most.
Please note: Ashley Community Care Services Ltd are a local specialist company and can only support care within the Southend-on-Sea Borough boundaries.
