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.

Pet Therapy
This week we had the absolute pleasure of Boonies Pet Therapy We had an amazing morning of furry cuddles with all the animals and lots of smiles.
Animals bring joy to us all – they’re playful, cute and cuddly. Pets can be a great source of routine, purpose and reassurance, especially when you’re feeling low.
It’s no surprise, then, that our furry friends can have an amazing knack for reducing anxiety, improving mood and encouraging communication and engagement in people with dementia.
Festive Cheer for Children in Hospital this Christmas
Our very own Father Christmas visited the Children’s ward at St Peter’s Hospital in Chertsey yesterday and is heading to Northwick Park Hospital in Harrow today. Together with Tesco of Brent Cross, we have been able to deliver gifts to many poorly children thanks to kind donations from our residents, relatives, staff, community and the local shoppers in Brent Cross Tesco.
Faces were lit up as the Elves and Father Christmas entered the hospital corridors with sacks, brimming with presents and all believers, young and old, were drawn in to the magic of Christmas. Our Regional Director stepped into Father Christmas’ shoes and Chief Elf, was Daisy Mingle, General Manager.
Thank you to everyone that has helped our home and Tesco, spread joy and cheer to our local Children having to spend their Christmas in hospital this year. We are extremely touched with the volume of donations.
