Activities at Ashcombe 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.
Michelle Martin
I’m a fun, loud and outgoing individual who loves organising fun activities for residents at Ashcombe House (and staff, if possible). I’m very creative and keep the residents very active, both mentally and physically In my spare time, I love doing a lot of fundraising, which usually ends up with me sliding in mud.

Life at Ashcombe House Care Home
Milestones Museum
We visited our local museum, Milestones, with some residents who used to work there.
Dignity Awareness Day
We celebrated our very own event - Dignity Awareness Day - on 30th September 2016. Resident, Joseph, joined in with the fun as well.
Millers Farm
We had a special visit from Miller's Ark Animals, so residents could enjoy an afternoon of therapy with chickens, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs and chicks.
Seaside Day
We brought the beach to Ashcombe, with live music, fish & chips and ice creams all round.
Betty's Birthday
We had a Scottish morning celebrating Betty's birthday here at Ashcombe; a bagpipe player played for her and her sister made a surprise visit, which was followed with afternoon tea in the garden.
National Citizen Service
We had the National Citizen Service charity with us from the local college for 3 days. They revamped our garden, donating a bench, plants and ornaments. They played games and painted nails and it was a great three days - everyone had an amazing time!
