Activities at Ashchurch View 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 Ashchurch View Care Home
Making chocolate lollipops at Cafe au Chocolat in Tewkesbury
Residents with a sweet tooth visited a chocolate workshop today, Cafe au Chocolat in Tewkesbury and had a wonderful time making and eating the sweet treats! As part of our theme for Roald Dahl Day in September. Many thanks to Liz from the cafe for helping us to organise this.
Willow Trust Boat Trip
The residents enjoyed a leisurely trip along the river today with a canal boat ride starting at Saul canal. Luckily the weather was glorious with time for a bit of sunbathing on deck and, as you can see, the residents also had the opportunity to take the helm!
Senior exercise
Residents, visitors and family members had a mini workout today with parachute games in the lounge at Ashchurch. Suitable for everyone, the smiles on the residents faces says it all, keep fit with the fun factor!
Cookery club at Ashchurch View
The keen bakers and chocolate lovers at Ashchurch View had a fabulous time making mint chocolate mousse today. Of course, along with the making also came the eating!
Mini bus trip to Bourton on The Water, Venice of the Cotswolds
The residents enjoyed a trip to the beautiful Bourton-on-the-Water today, otherwise known as the Venice of the Cotswolds. Situated on the river Windrush, the weather was perfect for a stroll around the village and a stop off for lunch afterwards. A return trip is planned soon!
Magic Table Launch Party
No party is complete without tea and cakes at Ashchurch View and the launch of our new magic table was no exception! Staff and clients from Tewkesbury Day Centre and Alpha care came along to celebrate and have a session with the magic table. Everybody enjoyed it and said what a wonderful, interactive experience it was. A particular favourite was the musical game, allowing everyone to play different melodies by touching the notes. Please contact us if you would like to come along to the next session!
