Ashdale Care is committed to providing the highest quality care and therapeutic support throughout all our homes and for each young person who lives with us. As part of our commitment to quality, we monitor progress and outcomes for our young people across a range of important areas and domains that are relevant to them and to all our stakeholders.

We use a progress and outcomes tracking system that enables us to analyze the areas where our young people are making progress and the areas where they continue to need support. Having a systematic approach to the assessment, monitoring and tracking of this data helps assure that we are providing the right support in the right way and will enable us to adjust our supports as appropriate.

Annual Quality Report

Our Annual Quality Report represents our ongoing commitment to providing high quality, therapeutically informed residential services to children and young people across the island of Ireland. It allows us to reflect on the year passed, and set out our goals and objectives for the future of Ashdale Care.

“I like that I get more support every day, staff try to work out things for me. I like how I get TV and games and have a friend in the house and it’s nice and warm and safe for me.
