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.

Halloween
Here at Ashford House, we had a Halloween craft session in the morning and music by Lawrence, who performed singalong classics on the keyboard, in the afternoon.
Birthday Bake Off

Buffet in the Lounge
We held a buffet in the lounge for all residents, their loved ones and staff members. We had lots of nice food supplied by our Head Chef in the kitchen and our very special friend, Terry Gleed, provided the entertainment for the whole afternoon.
An Adorable Visit
Activities Coordinator, Paula, has a nephew who has been visiting the home since he was two weeks old and residents have enjoyed seeing him grow.
