Meet The Manager
Zoe Smith is General Manager at Ashurst Mews Care Home.
At Ashurst Mews Care Home, just outside Northampton in the quaint village of Moulton, we offer residential, nursing and dementia care.
What drives all of our staff is the happiness of our residents, ensuring that we involve them in every aspect of home life, helping them make new friends and even take up new hobbies. After all, you’re never too old for something new.
Our home happily accommodates couples and companions who wish to remain together as they continue their care journey and make new memories side by side.
Family and friends are urged to come and visit our care home in Northamptonshire as often as they like and get themselves as involved as their loved ones. The better the communication, the better the care. Come and enjoy an afternoon matinée in our cinema with us; we’ve even got the popcorn.
To see what we get up to, you might want to view our dedicated Facebook page that is kept updated with all the activities and goings-on in the home, or use this link if you have further questions or would like a tour of the home.

To test, monitor and allow residents to communicate with relatives, the prevalence of room-level connectivity within the home is becoming increasingly relevant.

We have a lovely garden which surrounds the home and is wheelchair accessible, of course. Sitting out in the sunshine and admiring the roses when the weather is fine always raises our spirits. Our interiors are beautifully designed and allow plenty of room for all sorts of activities, socialising, or just for sitting quietly, if you prefer. Our cinema room is very popular, with those good old musicals firm favourites. Family and friends are urged to come and visit as often as they like and get themselves as involved as their loved ones. The better the communication, the better the care. Come and enjoy an afternoon matinée in our cinema with us; we’ve even got the popcorn. |

| Activities Are So Important |
|---|

We put a special emphasis on keeping bodies moving. A healthy and active body means a healthy spirit and positive outlook. Some of residents had great fun in hosing down the patio and getting rid of the bird poo recently. They didn’t just sit there and watch others at work, they did it themselves! We enjoy sitting-down activities too. Here is some of what we do:
We have established strong ties with local schools and associations, which ensure that residents remain part of the wider community. The local Moulton Residents Association host their meetings at Ashurst,and residents help deliver their magazine. Moulton Church comes in for monthly Sunday services. We often have trips out with the other nearby Avery homes, Spencer House and Cliftonville, so we have a wide social circle to draw on. |
