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.
Rita Green
As the Community Engagement Lead and Lifestyle Coordinator, I will be spending time with each resident and their loved ones to build a detailed picture of each individual, so that each person’s stay with us is as meaningful as possible. Although I have been working within this field for many years, thanks to the uniqueness of each resident, I am always enjoying new experiences in my role. My goal is to create an activities programme that caters to the capabilities of residents, including, but not limited to, individual and group activity.
I've spent the past few years forging strong relationships within the community and developing a pool of talented individuals that can support our in-house team to bring out the best in those we care for.
As we never stop growing and changing, it is important that we maintain an up-to-date Getting To Know Me booklet. With your help, the activities scheduled for your loved ones will be as relevant and enjoyable as possible.
I’m very much looking forward to working with all of you.

Our Christmas show at Ashlar House was a lovely festive get together, filled with Christmas cheer, celebrating with residents and their families to mark the occasion.
Welcoming Coopersale Hall School and Jack the Goat
We were thrilled to welcome Coopersale Hall School to our home today.
Our residents were treated to a fun-filled singing session, where the children performed a number of lovely songs for them and special handmade cards for the home.

FIFA World Cup
We are getting ready to cheer our favourite teams throughout the FIFA World Cup. Our home is decorated with flags and our residents cannot wait to enjoy the action over the next few weeks. We gathered together today to watch the fantastic match between England and Iran, where Gareth Southgate led the team to a spectacular 6-2 win.
Our residents celebrated the win with themed snacks and refreshing drinks. We are hoping to watch pretty much all the matches and we are excited to see how Gareth’s boys get on!
