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
Record Reminiscence
The classical retro turntable record player was originally designed and produced when the majority of our residents were in their dancing years. This took our residents back!
A Virtual Lesson
Coopersale Primary School were talking about their art lesson, where they looked at how different colours affect their mood. The children listened to 4 different types of music and made watercolour paintings to respond to the music.
Jewish Celebrations
We payed homage to the Jewish New Year (Rosh Hashanah) by sharing apple and honey amongst our residents.
We also celebrated Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement, and thought to be the holiest day of the Jewish calendar.
Although our residents aren’t fasting this year, many of them have gathered in small groups for prayer and to exchange stories. Those less able were included in the occasion in their rooms.
Celebration cards will be sent to loved ones.
National Doodle Day
Our residents have spent their day creating unique works of art in a myriad of styles across many mediums. Some elected to use bush and pallet whilst others enjoyed the tactile experience with fingers and paint. Lots of fun and pride was had in the create process, from inception to committing their creations to canvas!
National Dog Day
National Dog Day is a day for people to recognize the importance of dogs and how they impact their lives on a daily basis. It is also a day to recognize how hard service dogs work on our behalf and also to draw attention to the plight of abused and abandoned dogs.
World Photography Day
World Photography Day was celebrated at Ashlar House. This got our residents to communicate their feelings and express themselves through the art of photography. The event encourage our participants to look at old and new cameras displayed with a selection of hotography books. Facts sheets and quizzes were, issued which delivered intellectual & cognitive needs.
