A home where the day is still yours.
Ashgrove House is a small retirement home on Marian Road, Calabar, for thirty-two residents. Your own room, your own routine, good Calabar food, a garden to sit in and people who know your name.
Mrs Etim, resident since 2021. Example resident for this demo.
Small on purpose.
Thirty-two residents, sixty-one staff, one garden. Small enough that the cook knows who likes their pepper soup hot, and the night carer knows who likes the door ajar.
Frangipani, a fish pond, and a bench every twenty steps.
The garden was planted by the family who first lived here. We kept the mango tree, added raised beds at chair height and laid paths with no steps, so everyone can get out every day.

“My mother chose Ashgrove because the cook makes edikang ikong the way she does. She stayed because they let her get up when she wants.”
Help when you want it. Privacy when you do not.
Some residents need only a carer on call. Others want help with washing, dressing and medicines at set times. We agree it with you and your family, write it down, and review it every three months.
How support worksCooked here, the Calabar way.
Our kitchen cooks three meals a day from the market, with softer and lower-salt versions for anyone who needs them. Families are welcome to stay for lunch.
This week’s menu
The best way to know is to come for tea.
