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.

Visit to The Epping Museum

One of our weekly events scheduled for the upcoming months. 

This is where the museum holds a collection of memorabilia.

Residents at Ashlar House touched on reminiscing through pictures, themed rummage boxes and fragrances to smell where we can envoke cognitive impairment. 

Today we was welcome by the community with tea and planned reminiscence box era to the 1930's 40's. We were honoured to have a chat with one of the regular visitors  Steven who told us the story behind the silver anchor which was distributed by Prince Philip Duke of Edinburgh  to superintendent latham who came home to liverpool after the war.

Reminiscing has always been one of our for front conversation at Ashlar House it’s all about making the residents smile and thinking back to stories from the past.

Football Fever - England V Denmark

Football Fever is back at Ashlar House .

Residents and Family’s Ready with the home football bear mascot.

The anticipation to see who scores the first goal is unbearable and temperatures are beginning to rise so what’s the best way to cool down is by having a cold ice lolly and a glass of fizz and nibbles.

Well done to both teams everyone had a great time.

Father's Day

Father's Day is a special occasion dedicated to honouring and appreciating the incredible fathers in our lives. It's a time to express gratitude and love for the unwavering support, guidance, and love they provide us.

One of the best ways to convey our heartfelt emotions is through beautiful Father's Day at Ashlar House we displayed a Sunday relaxing event with Snacks & Beers, games of Darts & Golf and more.

What a wonderful way to spend our father days Sunday with our residents and their families.
