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.

Life at Ashlar House Care Home
Royal Celebrations
The home was filled with joy and laughter as we celebrated the royal wedding of Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank. Personalised hats were worn and plenty of refreshments were available for our guests.
Memory Lane
Resident, Ian, created his very own memory box and enjoyed reminiscing about days gone by.
Remembrance Day
In honour of Remembrance Day, Air Cadets 414 Epping & North Weald were invited along to sell or distribute poppies to residents, staff and guests. This evoked a myriad of emotions and residents spent some time talking about life during wartime, and reminiscing about those they'd lost in conflict. The Air Cadets were presented one of the residents' memory boxes to encourage some conversation.
