Activities at Ashcroft Hollow
At Ashcroft Hollow, we believe that meaningful activities are at the heart of quality care.
Since Northgate acquired the home, one of our first priorities was establishing a dedicated activities team to bring vibrancy and engagement into daily life for our residents.
We’re delighted to have Sarah as the first member of our growing activities team, and we are actively recruiting a second team member to ensure there’s something enjoyable happening every day of the week. In just a short time, Sarah has created a lively, inclusive atmosphere with activities tailored to the individual needs, preferences, and abilities of our residents.
Our activities programme is thoughtfully planned to promote physical, mental, and emotional well-being, with a strong focus on connection, creativity, and fun.
Whether it’s a quiet craft session or a lively singalong, there’s always something to look forward to.
