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
Memory Lane
Resident, Ian, created his very own memory box and enjoyed reminiscing about days gone by.
Remembrance Day
In honour of Remembrance Day, Air Cadets 414 Epping & North Weald were invited along to sell or distribute poppies to residents, staff and guests. This evoked a myriad of emotions and residents spent some time talking about life during wartime, and reminiscing about those they'd lost in conflict. The Air Cadets were presented one of the residents' memory boxes to encourage some conversation.

Danny rocked the house!
Local singer Danny got us all singing and dancing when he came to visit our home. Residents and staff had a ball as he entertained us all with his energetic performances.
Live music performance by Elkie
Residents and staff recently enjoyed a live music performance from local singer Elkie, who had us all singing along to her renditions of the classics.
Football Fever
Residents, staff and loved ones had fun betting on who would win the 2018 World Cup.
Tina's Clothing
We were joined by Michael of Tina's Clothing, which is an established business designed to bring a collection of clothes and accessories to those who are perhaps less mobile and cannot visit the shops. Ahead of this visit, residents' families were informed of the event and encouraged to attend, many of whom were able to share in the experience.
During the event, residents and their families had a lovely time interacting with and showing off their new outfits.
