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
Knitting Club
Some residents enjoy participating in our knitting club. This rewarding project doesn't just result in a new sweater or scarf, it reduces depression and anxiety, and improves cognitive and social skills.
National Gardening Week
The theme of National Gardening Week is to rediscover a passion for plants. We were in full swing planting and decorating, ready to display our plants around the garden. Residents smelled, touched and talked about their own garden and favourite plants. Everyone had a great time!
Royal Celebrations
The home was filled with joy and laughter as we celebrated the royal wedding of Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank. Personalised hats were worn and plenty of refreshments were available for our guests.
Memory Lane
Resident, Ian, created his very own memory box and enjoyed reminiscing about days gone by.
Remembrance Day
In honour of Remembrance Day, Air Cadets 414 Epping & North Weald were invited along to sell or distribute poppies to residents, staff and guests. This evoked a myriad of emotions and residents spent some time talking about life during wartime, and reminiscing about those they'd lost in conflict. The Air Cadets were presented one of the residents' memory boxes to encourage some conversation.

Danny rocked the house!
Local singer Danny got us all singing and dancing when he came to visit our home. Residents and staff had a ball as he entertained us all with his energetic performances.
