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.
Rita Green
As the Community Engagement Lead and Lifestyle Coordinator, I will be spending time with each resident and their loved ones to build a detailed picture of each individual, so that each person’s stay with us is as meaningful as possible. Although I have been working within this field for many years, thanks to the uniqueness of each resident, I am always enjoying new experiences in my role. My goal is to create an activities programme that caters to the capabilities of residents, including, but not limited to, individual and group activity.
I've spent the past few years forging strong relationships within the community and developing a pool of talented individuals that can support our in-house team to bring out the best in those we care for.
As we never stop growing and changing, it is important that we maintain an up-to-date Getting To Know Me booklet. With your help, the activities scheduled for your loved ones will be as relevant and enjoyable as possible.
I’m very much looking forward to working with all of you.
Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies
Life at Ashlar House Care Home
Football Fever - England V Denmark
Football Fever is back at Ashlar House .
Residents and Family’s Ready with the home football bear mascot.
The anticipation to see who scores the first goal is unbearable and temperatures are beginning to rise so what’s the best way to cool down is by having a cold ice lolly and a glass of fizz and nibbles.
Well done to both teams everyone had a great time.

Father's Day
Father's Day is a special occasion dedicated to honouring and appreciating the incredible fathers in our lives. It's a time to express gratitude and love for the unwavering support, guidance, and love they provide us.
One of the best ways to convey our heartfelt emotions is through beautiful Father's Day at Ashlar House we displayed a Sunday relaxing event with Snacks & Beers, games of Darts & Golf and more.
What a wonderful way to spend our father days Sunday with our residents and their families.

Checkmate!
Last Friday it was checkmate♟️
Outdoor chess table located in Stonards Hill in Epping was officially unveiled to the public.
This project was Inspired by a recent resurgence of interest in chess, the Rotary Club of Epping held events, sponsored by Treehouse Nurseries, to raise money for the chess table and chairs which add a new and engaging activity in the park for visitors of all ages where people can connect and yet enjoy outdoor games.
Barchester Ashlar House Residents, families and staff along with Coopersale Hall School year 7 Chess team players and their supporters had a wonderful time watching the chess pro against Atilla age 12 who won fair and square, definitely the benefits him attending his chess club at school has polished his thinking skills.
