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
Ivy Chimneys Primary School’s nativity Baarmy Bethlehem
We started off the month of December by visiting Ivy Chimneys Primary School’s nativity Baarmy Bethlehem yesterday 01/12/22.
To everyone’s delight, we returned to the home with a lovely hamper full of gifts and special handmade cards.
Our residents cannot wait to welcome the children into the home on December 8th for a festive singalong like no other.
A lovely day was had by all.
Sharon's Angels
Members of the Epping Town Police visited Rita Green, our Life Enrichment Coordinator, to see if help was needed. The lovely ladies truly enjoyed their visit and they look forward to joining us again on Sunday 11th December at 5pm to see Santa.
Everyone is welcome to attend our Santa-themed event!
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!
Remembrance Service
Remembrance Sunday is a day to commemorate the contribution of British and Commonwealth military and civilian servicemen and women in the two World Wars and later conflicts.
During the day, our residents enjoyed putting a remembrance display together, with their own handmade wreaths and poppies, which turned out beautifully.
We enjoyed a special church service to honour veterans and armed forces members who have died in the line of duty, and we read some war poems.
It was a lovely day of remembrance, enjoyed by all.
Bonfire Night Party
We hosted a fun-filled party on the grounds of Ashlar House to celebrate Bonfire Night in style.
We were joined by residents, family and friends and members of our local community. There were sparklers all around, which were lit up once the sun had set.
We all enjoyed traditional bonfire night treats, including hotdogs, burgers and yummy chip s’mores prepared by our talented chef.
We had a fantastic time.
Halloween Celebrations
Here at Ashlar House, we got into the spooky Halloween spirit of things by creating a themed colourful display on Friday.
We hosted a fun-filled party in the afternoon with delicious Halloween lunch and themed music.
Some of our residents preferred to paint and decorate pumpkins and to dress up for the occasion including visiting family pets, others got involved in themed quizzes and games, and enjoyed watching Halloween films.
