Social Activities at Ashwood Park

The therapeutic benefits derived from being physically and mentally active are well documented. At Ashwood Park residential care home we recognise this and offer our residents a full programme of varied activities to both stimulate and challenge.

Our dedicated staff arrange a programme of activities for elderly care residents encompassing visits from local concert parties, quizzes, daily exercises, crafts, competitions, social events, fares and outings.

Video nights are particularly popular and television and radio can be enjoyed in some lounges.

The homes also have a minibus for outings to local places of interest, the theatre, the coast, shopping malls and community organisations.

Some of Our Gardening Facilities

A specially adapted flower and plant nursery shared with Birchwood Court residential care home, with raised planting beds, patio, garden benches, greenhouses and sheds has recently been constructed within the gardens, offering residents and their visitors the opportunity to pursue their gardening interests.

Residents meetings, both formal and informal, are held regularly to discuss any issues, suggestions or comments about the care home, its operation and the programme of hobbies and social activities available to its residents.
