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.

Life at Ashlar House Care Home
Vitality Care
We were joined by Vitality Care, who put on fantastic exercise session for residents at the Ashlar Day Club.
Story Time
The idea for this activity was for residents to wear a hat and tell a story. It got everyone thinking and left residents feeling positive and special.
Time for a Cuppa
To mark the event of Dementia UK's Time for a Cuppa initiative, residents and families gathered in a small group for a social chit chat in reception.
Mid-Morning Tea & Knitting
In many ways, knitting is the ideal hobby; it truly does benefit the mind, body, and soul. Knitting can be quite similar to meditation for many people; it's known to heighten feelings of calmness and happiness.
Pancake Day
Pancake Day certainly didn’t fall flat at Ashlar House, with residents, families and staff getting involved in a pancake tossing tournament.
Residents, loved ones and staff, including our Music for Health instructor, Anastasia, enjoyed some pancake flipping fun on Shrove Tuesday, and we also celebrated two special 70th birthdays.
Hand Pampering
We rocked residents' feeling of control and confidence through hand pampering, which helps to reduce stiffness in the hands.
