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.
Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies
Life at Ashford House Care Home
Santa Visits Ashford House
We had a magical day at Ashford House as Santa himself paid us a visit! Accompanied by our amazing GM Daisy Mingle and DM Cristina Marin, he delivered personalised gifts thoughtfully chosen by our incredible Activities Coordinators, Sheeba and Kirsty.
Each gift brought smiles and joy as the wishes of our lovely residents came true.
We were also delighted to welcome a surprise guest, the Mayor of Spelthorne, Cllr Med Buck, who joined in the festivities!
The celebrations were topped off with a traditional Christmas lunch that everyone enjoyed together.
Christmas Gifts
Christmas is the perfect time to show our gratitude and share a little festive cheer.
What a great way to help support our community and help make a difference in people’s lives, than to share the festive joy.
This Christmas we were delighted to be able to gift 35 Christmas boxes to the children of Ashford youth club. Kindly picked up and delivered by Councillor Michelle Arnold of Ashford, who started Acts of Kindness, Spelthorne, which is a Facebook page set up to help people in the community that are struggling.
Our Boxes will be given out to children that are less fortunate this Christmas.
