Activities at Ashchurch View Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.
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.
Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies
Life at Ashchurch View Care Home
Boat Trip on the Severn
Ashchurch View residents had a wonderful day out yesterday on the water with The Willow Trust. This amazing local charity has two fully accessible boats that offer those with a disability or serious illness the opportunity to enjoy a therapeutic boat trip.
Residents enjoyed taking the helm, looking at the stunning Gloucestershire countryside and great company. We were delighted to spend this trip with residents and team members from Badgeworth Court and Tewkesbury Fields and what a wonderful opportunity for us all to get together. Thank you so much to The Willow Trust and the wonderful volunteers who make these trips possible.
Musical Memory Cafe
Today we welcomed Rob also known as Piano Hedgehog who performed at the Ashchurch View Memory Cafe. Rob played well known tunes and then we all sang along to classics including Moon River, I Can't Help Falling in Love with You and I Only Want to be with You.
Music and songs are so important for those living with dementia, often the music helps evoke memories, gives an opportunity to express feelings and overall gives a real sense of well-being. After all the singing, dancing and toe tapping we all enjoyed delicious cakes made by our hospitality team and a nice cup of tea!
A Colourful Welcome
The Ashchurch View team have worked so hard to create such a stunning display at the front of the home. Residents are so enjoying the array of colour, variety of flowers and the scents are wonderful. It is a pleasure to walk up to our reception. Thank you to Brendan and Pat for not only the display to the front of Ashchurch View but also our courtyard and all around the home.
Celebrating Carers' Week
At Ashchurch View Care Home today to mark Carers’ Week, carers on duty were presented with a hamper full of goodies, as a token of appreciation from Barchester.
At Barchester we are incredibly thankful and proud of the hard work and dedication of our carers. Thank you to all of our amazing care staff here at Ashchurch View!
Tewkesbury's Big Weekend
Ashchurch View’s Deputy Manager Lumi, and our new Senior Carer Simona, were at Tewkesbury's Big Weekend!
They spent the morning in the gorgeous sunshine, handing out goody bags and cupcakes which were freshly baked in our kitchen at Ashchurch View by our talented hospitality team.
