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
Pumpkin Carving
We host regular arts & crafts session here at Ashchurch View. We carved pumpkins in our most recent session and the residents creatively designed and painted their own. Everyone was amazed with the final result.
Halloween
Residents had their own individual masks at their tables, alongside treats for the Halloween-themed lunch.
Musical Magic
Andrew Dwyer was invited to our home to play some music and put ona theatrical act, which motivated residents to join in.
Swing Session
We invited Martin Leonard into the home to host a swing and jazz session, and he sang loads of '50s and '60s hits. Residents loved singing along to the music.
Flower Arranging
Residents here at Ashchurch View love flower arranging and are always keen to make lovely displays for the home.
Live Entertainment
At the end of September, we had a lovely performance by the one and only Trevor Sintori, who performed some of our favorite songs, and we wore our hats and made noises with the shakers and other instruments.
