Activities at Ashchurch View 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 Ashchurch View Care Home

Eat, drink and be scary.

'Witching' you a Happy Halloween from everyone at Ashchurch View Care Home.There was much hocus pocus and 'boos' of a different kind at Ashchurch View on 31st October as staff and residents embraced Halloween and dressed up for fun and games in 'spooktacular' style. Thanks to our resident Senior Chef John, there were more treats than tricks with a glorious buffet of delicious home made indulgencies.

Toe Tapping to the Classics

Ashchurch View had the pleasure of songs through the years by David Ible who is a Dementia Environment specialist singer. Our residents and staff had a fabulous time singing along to some of the great classics. It also proved to be a little workout for some of the staff, whose questionable dance moves certainly won't win any prizes any time soon.We look forward to welcoming David at our home again soon for a Christmas rendition, which we're all practising for.

Rip Roaring Success at Ashchurch View

The Ashchurch View Care Home Motorbike Show was a rip roaring success recently. Though a little chilly, it was perfectly dry for some of our residents and staff to see the amazing range of bikes that attended.Sam our General Manager tried out a bike for size as did our lovely resident Pat Welch, who was in her element perched on a beautiful set of 2 wheels. A fabulous day was had by all with delicious homemade breakfast pastries and refreshments by our Chef John.

Quiz Capers

Our residents were competing against each other in our quiz, hosted by Leanne. The little grey cells were put to the test as it certainly wasn't easy, but great fun was had by everyone and cheered up a rainy afternoon.

Hanging onto Summer

The residents at Ashchurch View were happy to bring some of the 'outside in' with a lovely flower arranging class.  It was great to see so many get involved and arrange vases for their own rooms.  Flowers bring such happiness and everyone was delighted with the results.

Ashchurch Open Day

What a fabulous open day was had at Ashchurch View Care Home recently.  It was so lovely to see many new faces and great they could also see our residents enjoying live music by D' Artagnan.  Ashchurch View are committed to providing many forms of entertainment for our residents in and out of the home.
