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
A Visit from Santa
Residents celebrated a heart-warming Christmas at Ashford House Care Home, where personalized gifts brought joy to residents and staff joined in festive cheer. Our activity staff lovingly chose each gift the residents wished for and presented on Christmas Day where Santa was ready with his special delivery service. The pure joy on residents’ faces was all worth the preps. No matter how old you are, Christmas is a time of wishes coming true and that’s exactly what we wanted to achieve. Grateful for the warmth and togetherness shared on this special day.
Pet Therapy
Today has been the best day here at Ashford House Care Centre - Barchester Healthcare
We were joined by Browells Wood Pet Therapy who brought us the most adorable animals for us to cuddle and love.
It is always amazing to see the positive affect animals have on our residents, there were lots of smiles and lots of laughter.
Thank you Debbie and the lovely Betty for brightening our day.
A Visit to King George VI Day Centre
Ashford House is proud to have community engagement at its core. Today, Cristina our Deputy Manager had the pleasure of visiting King George VI Day Centre in Windsor.

We look forward to keeping in touch and building new links within our wonderful community
