Activities at Ashford House Care Home

Our residents are having a lovely time enjoying music by Terry Gleed, spending time together in good company and having a sing-along.

Plenty of music, dancing and smiles for everyone 

What a truly beautiful afternoon we shared in our lovely gardens! Residents enjoyed a delightful afternoon tea surrounded by enchanting music, cheerful conversations, and plenty of laughter with friends.

From freshly baked scones with clotted cream and exquisite pastries to refreshing drinks, every treat was enjoyed in the sunshine, creating precious moments and wonderful memories together.

It’s afternoons like these that remind us how special friendship, music, and time spent outdoors can be.

Today, our wonderful residents enjoyed a truly relaxing and uplifting afternoon in the salon. Many treated themselves to beautiful manicures and freshly painted nails, all thanks to one of our talented Activities Coordinator, Sheeba!   

It was heartwarming to see the smiles, the chatter, and the pride as everyone admired their colourful fingertips. Moments like these bring so much joy and a lovely sense of normalcy and self-care into the day. Thank you, Sheeba, for your caring touch and for making our residents feel so special!  

We highly recommend these little luxuries — they truly nourish the soul as much as they beautify the hands.
