Activities Are So Important

Making every moment matter is as important to us as the standard of care we deliver at Ashlynn Grange. As one of the leading nursing homes, Peterborough, our residents’ needs are at the heart of everything we do. When a new resident joins us, we invest time in understanding their life story, as well as learning about their hobbies and the important people in their lives. This information enables us to encourage our residents to live life to the fullest, with laughter and love.

Regular feedback forums enable residents and their families to suggest new experiences, outings and events. This means that our activities programme is varied, engaging, and truly reflects the choices and interests of our residents.
