Ashton Manor Care Home in Lancaster was recently the vibrant setting for a fantastic global tea party! This special event, enjoyed by our residents and dedicated team (who provide exceptional residential care, dementia care, and short-term and respite care), brought the flavours and sounds of the world to our doorstep for a truly enriching afternoon.

Tables were laden with a mouth-watering array of international foods, each dish telling a story of a different corner of the globe.

In a thoughtful and colourful gesture, many of our caring staff embraced the global theme by wearing their own traditional clothing. This added a wonderful visual element to the party, showcasing the diverse backgrounds and heritage within our Ashton Manor family. It sparked conversations, fostered understanding, and created a truly inclusive and celebratory environment.

At Astley View, our residential care home in Chorley, the recent weeks have been a testament to this. As springtime blossoms, so too did the creativity of our residents in preparation for Easter. Our Easter bonnet competition was a highlight, with so many imaginative creations on display. It was particularly fun to welcome residents’ families to judge the colourful entries.

The excitement didn’t stop there! The thrill of the Grand National swept through Astley View, enjoyed by everyone in the comfort of our high-spec cinema room. Residents enthusiastically cheered on their chosen horses, creating a lively and shared experience within our care home community.

Beyond the special events, our regular weekly groups continue to be a cornerstone of life at Astley View. The gentle hum of conversation and the click of needles fill the air during our Knit and Natter group, providing valuable social interaction and a chance for residents to connect over a shared hobby. Meanwhile, the Men’s Club offers a relaxed and friendly space for companionship and shared interests, and the occasional pint.

Even the simple pleasures of a nature walk have been embraced, with residents enjoying the fresh air and gentle sensory stimulation of the outdoors. These moments contribute significantly to their overall wellbeing and provide a change of scenery.

A truly uplifting highlight of our week is always the visit from the ‘Singing for You’ choir.
