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
Pete Visits
Ashford House had the privilege of having the CEO of Barchester Healthcare, Dr Pete Calveley, visit, accompanied by the Regional Director, Natasha Lazovic.
They were welcomed and greeted by our GM, Daisy Mingle, and Ram Awatar. Daisy showed them around the home and they had a chance to meet our lovely staff and a lot of our residents too.
It was a great honour for us and we are very thankful for their continuous support, comments & feedback.
Virtual Cruise
Residents at Ashford House enjoyed some cheeky cocktails and pampering as they enjoyed our virtual cruise with Lisa and Paul from Unilever.
Macmillan Coffee Morning
On Friday at Ashford House, we held our first MacMillan Coffee Morning in the garden, and the weather was beautiful.
Thank you to everybody that came and enjoyed some scrumptious cakes made by our lovely chef, Raj, and the kitchen team; and also to Alison on housekeeping for the delicious lemon cheesecake. We all had a wonderful day and managed to raise £124.34 for an amazing cause.
Well done, everyone!
Autumn is Here!
Our activities team and residents have had fun making autumn baskets to display around the home, giving it that lovely autumn glow.
Preparation for Easter
One of the many ways we will be celebrating Easter at Ashford House Care Centre is to enjoy some traditional chocolate eggs and bunnies. Today our Lifestyle Coordinator, Denise, on behalf of Barchester Healthcare, bought some Easter chocolate for all Residents and Staff to enjoy next weekend. Thank you. We are all very excited.
Mother's Day is always so Special at Ashford House.
Residents had a lovely day celebrating. The day started with flower and chocolate deliveries. Followed by a special lunch cooked by our award winning Chef. The staff and residents discussed our lovely Mothers and Mother figures that have been and are in our lives. Then, in the afternoon we had treats, pots of tea and calls with loved ones. A good time was had by all
