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 the local Mayor
Last week at Ashford House we had the pleasure of the lovely Mayor Sue Doran and her consort husband Cllr John Doran, who popped in to collect our prize donation for the Mayors Annual Charity Ball. Over The course of Cllr Doran's Mayoral year, she has been raising money for the Spelthorne Mental Health Association and the Stanwell Family Centre.
Our General Manager, Daisy Mingle, and our Customer Relationship Manager, Debbie Twinn, gave the mayor and her husband a tour of our home where they met some of our residents and learned about our life here at Ashford House.
Art Therapy
You don’t need to be an artist to benefit from Art Therapy! Residents here at Ashford House got their creative hats on and painted some beautiful artwork today.
Pet Therapy
Animal-assisted interventions can often improve self-esteem and confidence in people with dementia. It can also promote quality of life and encourage independence. Browells Wood Pet Therapy came to visit our lovely residents and we all had a purrrrrfect time.
