Activities at Ashlar House Care Home
Activities are an integral part of life at our care home. We want to ensure that the people we support have as much fun as possible during their time with us, so it’s important that our activities programme is created with the interests of residents in mind. Our skilled Activities Coordinators bring a certain uniqueness to the home that can’t be found anywhere else, and which is reflected in the activities they organise.

Life at Ashlar House Care Home
Gemini Fashion
Bringing the high street shopping experience into our home allows residents to maintain independence and make choices that lead to fun and creativity. Some enjoy just browsing, whilst others love trying on new clothes and accessories.
Around the Home
During our one-to-ones, we encourage residents to take the lead in where or what to do to enhance their day, even if it's just a simple stroll around the home. A walk in the garden or even into the admin office can be a memorable experience – and a little gentle exercise always helps!
Pitball Games
Those who participated in our pitball games had a lot of fun! Residents paired up and challenged each other. This game is a great way to stay active.
Valentine's Day
We were joined by vocalist, Debbie Watt, who put on a wonderful performance for residents on Valentine's Day, which was filled with love, laughter and fun. She sang lots of hits from the '50s and '60s, and residents can't wait for her next visit.
Our General Manager, Marie Smale, was stick in traffic due to an accident on the A120, and to combat the boredom, she distributed some heart lollies to fellow drivers and passengers, wishing everyone a happy Valentine's Day.
The highlight of the day was when the lollies made their way to the local nursery school children, who we were visiting on the day.
Let's Talk About Pumpkins
A simple activity themed around a pumpkin lead to a very interesting discussion about its colour, weight, texture and smell.
Ukulele Entertainment
We were joined by a ukulele group on 12th February, who put on a wonderful performance for residents in the Ashlar Day Club.
