Activities at Ashford House Care Home
Here at Ashford House we try to aim to cater to everyone’s hobbies and preferences, nothing is impossible! All our activities are designed to empower our residents helping them complete meaningful activities that stimulate them mentally, physically and emotionally. As well as sticking to 'mainstream' activities that you would normally find in this kind of environment, we aim to step outside the box with our provision. We think this is the best way of creating person-centred activities, as each plan is uniquely crafted around each individual, who are treated with respect and dignity in their choices and supported to take control of how they spend their time.
Sheeba Khan
Hi, my name is Sheeba, and I am an Activities Coordinator here at Ashford House.
Having a degree in Fine-Arts and a creative background enables me to plan person-centred activities according to the personalities and tastes of our residents here at Ashford House. I believe and work towards making a positive difference to their day to day life and I can honestly say this is one of the most rewarding jobs. I am really enjoying my role as an Activities Co-Ordinator at Ashford House.

Life at Ashford House Care Home
The Magic of the Magic Table
The residents of Ashford House enjoy the magic of our 'Magic Table'. Barchester's new ‘Magic Table 360 and the Happiness Programme’ is a fantastic way to improve our residents wellbeing, coordination and stimulation. The 'Magic Table' is a projector that is transmitted onto almost any surface and has a range of sensory games and images that the residents just love. A firm favourite at Ashford House is the 'bird feeder' but there are many many more programmes to see and take part in.
Dancing King's
Here at Ashford House our staff and residents never miss an opportunity to dance. Dance provides a great, overall, low impact workout. We are aware the dance movements improve core strength, balance and movement. Dancing is also such fun. So this afternoon was spent dancing and laughing. What better way to improve our residents wellbeing.
Winter Walk's
The Sun came out today and some of our lovely Residents really enjoyed a garden walk - a bit muddy but it’s February! So good to get some sun on our faces! We have big plans for our Gardens - watch this space ! Stay safe and have a lovely weekend from our residents.
Fun Afternoon
Our Super Carers Jackie and Marisa and some of our Residents played floor Dominoes today! Super fun with our War Hero winning twice ! The competition was tense but what fun
Snow Days
The Snow has arrived this morning at Ashford House and our Residents are all snug and warm inside - a lovely Sunday Roast awaiting them !
Vaccination Day with flowers
Today at Ashford House , all our Staff and Residents were vaccinated for COVID-19. It was a very busy day but so worth it to have a fully vaccinated home. The Homes Manager Dily and our Deputy Manager Daisy, then presented all the staff with chocolate and flowers as a thank you for all their help and hard work. The flowers and chocolates made this day extra special for our teams. It was so wonderful for Phil and Peter from the NHS to come into our Ashford House to vaccinate our residents in the comfort of their own home.
