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
Mid-Morning Tea & Knitting
In many ways, knitting is the ideal hobby; it truly does benefit the mind, body, and soul. Knitting can be quite similar to meditation for many people; it's known to heighten feelings of calmness and happiness.
Pancake Day
Pancake Day certainly didn’t fall flat at Ashlar House, with residents, families and staff getting involved in a pancake tossing tournament.
Residents, loved ones and staff, including our Music for Health instructor, Anastasia, enjoyed some pancake flipping fun on Shrove Tuesday, and we also celebrated two special 70th birthdays.
Hand Pampering
We rocked residents' feeling of control and confidence through hand pampering, which helps to reduce stiffness in the hands.
Gemini Fashion
Bringing the high street shopping experience into our home allows residents to maintain independence and make choices that lead to fun and creativity. Some enjoy just browsing, whilst others love trying on new clothes and accessories.
Around the Home
During our one-to-ones, we encourage residents to take the lead in where or what to do to enhance their day, even if it's just a simple stroll around the home. A walk in the garden or even into the admin office can be a memorable experience – and a little gentle exercise always helps!
Pitball Games
Those who participated in our pitball games had a lot of fun! Residents paired up and challenged each other. This game is a great way to stay active.
