This week’s been another busy one at Ashgrove House, with plenty going on for our residents to enjoy.

We started the week with Arts & Crafts, where residents spent the morning getting creative and having a good chat over a cuppa. We also marked Milk Day with some reminiscing in the afternoon, sharing memories and stories from years gone by.

Our Knitting Group was as popular as ever on Tuesday, followed by one of our regular outings. Back at Ashgrove, residents enjoyed a lively game of Play Your Cards Right, with plenty of friendly competition!

Wednesday morning brought lots of laughter during our parachute games, before we welcomed Bob for an afternoon of entertainment. It was lovely to see so many residents singing along and enjoying the music.

On Thursday we celebrated National Cheese Day with a cheese tasting session and a themed word search. Earlier in the day, Music & Movement helped everyone stay active while having fun.

A highlight of Friday was a visit from Snowball the PAT dog, who was delighted to receive plenty of fuss and attention from residents. We also enjoyed another trip out before spending the afternoon playing games together.

This weekend we’re marking D-Day, taking time to remember those who served and sacrificed. Residents have enjoyed sharing memories, taking part in discussions and joining in with a sing-along and cream tea as we reflect on this important moment in history.

As always, thank you to our volunteers, entertainers, visitors and staff who help make every week at Ashgrove so enjoyable for our residents.
