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.

Getting ready for Christmas at Ashlar House

Here at Ashlar House, we thoroughly enjoyed getting ready for the festive period! Our residents enjoyed a Christmas Photoshoot with our handmade window decoration! The Christmas season is always a special time for our residents because it brings a lot of happiness, joy and fun! It allows our residents to reminisce, get creative and get merry! Some of our residents still talk about the ‘pictures through the window with the deer’ and it is always accompanied by a smile when we discuss it and look back at the photoshoot pictures! Our activities aim to bring everyone together, including relatives and our focus is to give meaningful activities that bring happiness and fun to the lives of our residents.

Miniature Piglets, Ronnie & Reggie Visit

Yesterday, we held our first Afternoon Tea Dance! We also had our friends Performing Pets visit with special guests Ronnie and Reggie; 7 week old miniature piglets!

Our residents enjoyed an afternoon full of laughter. We served the Afternoon Tea alongside music and dancing. To be able to meet and feed the tiny piglets was an added bonus for our animal loving residents.

Daily Activities

At Ashlar House we have a full calendar of activities including external entertainers, professional presenters, outings, trips to local landmarks, parties, celebrations and animal therapies. But many of our residents also enjoy quieter everyday activities which are always available from including modelling club, the Magic Table and even a game of balloon tennis!

We cater our activities calendar so that everyone is able to join in different activities each week and that everyone can enjoy socialising as well as new hobbies.

Gardening Club At Ashlar House

We have an active Gardening Club at Ashlar House with residents who enjoy time spent outside creating beautiful displays and growing things for our kitchen.
