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
Summer Fête
It was that special time of the year where we open our doors and invite friends, family and members of the public to our Summer Fête.
This year, the Coopersale Hall School FOCH group kindly donated some of their games for the occasion, including ring toss, duck hook, toilet roll throw and tin alley, which were a lot of fun for the kids in attendance. Other returning favourites included the fresh lemonade stand’, the BBQ and market stalls.
This year our good friends at Let’s Go Potty came with an assortment of figurines, which several of our visitors painted, whilst others, including the honourable Mayor of Epping, cut a rug to the live music performed by Darrell Williams.
Many of our residents joined in with the festivities, or simply spent time with loved ones in the idyllic setting of our peaceful garden space.
It was a fun and memorable day for all!
Professional Open Day
Our 'Professional Open Day' saw many professionals within our local community visit our home. The main agenda was open discussions with regards to supporting residents and their loved ones. The day was also National Cream Tea Day, and to commemorate such an auspicious day in our calendar, we treated our residents and their families, as well as visiting professionals, to a myriad of cream tea treats. It was an informative and fun day for all!
Father's Day
Many residents celebrated Father's Day together with their children and grandchildren. On this special day Ashlar House was visited by the town Mayor, who came to congratulate all fathers and to enjoy his own 70th birthday in the company of residents and staff. It was a fun day for everyone.
Ascot Ladies Day
Ascot Ladies Day brought a touch of elegance to Ashlar House, as the ladies and some of the gents donned their finest head wear to get into the mood.
Pygmy Goats and Chicks
Bradwell Trout Farm visited our home, bringing with them a collection of Pygmy Goats and adorable chicks. Some of our residents were able to interact with the our guests in the communal areas, whist others preferred personal visits in their rooms.
To further our community efforts we were also accompanied by Bright Horizon nursery and their children, who came to spend time with residents and of course the cute goats and chicks. A fun and memorable day for all... even the goats.
Happy Birthday, Your Majesty
Residents and visitors at Ashlar House raised a glass to the Queen on her 92nd birthday, and celebrated the day with a royal-inspired party.
Guests enjoyed a relaxing tea with pianist, John Goodall, which was specially prepared for the occasion by our Head Chef.
