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.

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.
