Landscaped Gardens

At The Ashton Care Home, we are fortunate to have our own landscaped gardens, offering residents a private outdoor space to stretch their legs and enjoy some fresh air at any time of year. With all-level pathways and secure, easy-to-navigate walkways, our gardens are accessible to everyone, making it simple for residents to enjoy time outside as and when they wish. Whether residents want to take part in group activities, relax with family and friends, or enjoy some quiet alone time, our gardens are the perfect place to truly unwind. A number of our ground-floor rooms also have patio access, which residents can personalise with their own plants and flowers to make a space that feels uniquely theirs.

Gardening Facilities

When the sun is shining, our Activity Coordinator arranges for many activities to be enjoyed in our gardens. Residents are actively involved in choosing flowers, herbs and plants for the garden and help to create a shared space that reflects their ideas and tastes. We also have raised flower beds for easier planting, and residents often visit local garden centres to pick out features or receive donations from loved ones to enhance the space. We have pergolas and umbrellas that provide shade and comfort, while plenty of seating areas allow residents to rest and enjoy the views. Whatever the season, our easy-to-access garden is always available, and whenever the weather allows, planned activities are taken outdoors to make the most of the fresh air and sunshine.

Summertime Entertainment

Summertimes at The Ashton Care Home are particularly loved by residents and staff. We make the most of the warm, dry weather whenever possible, hosting regular BBQs, outdoor activities, and entertainment in the grounds. Our annual Summer Fete is a highlight and brings together residents, families, staff and the wider community for a day of celebration and laughter. The gardens are also used throughout the year for coffee mornings and social gatherings, offering meaningful opportunities for residents and those closest to them to spend time together. With everything set on one level and designed with accessibility and comfort in mind, our gardens offer a unique space where residents can remain active, connected and involved all year round.

Landscaped Garden FAQs

Creating opportunities for our residents to spend time in the garden nurtures their connection with nature, enabling them to participate in outdoor activities and embrace fresh air and vitamin D. This contributes to various mental and physical benefits, including reduced stress and anxiety, improved mood, enhanced cognitive function, better heart health, and increased balance and muscular strength.

Residents can engage in a multitude of outdoor activities within the garden, including walks, gardening, exercise sessions, and, weather permitting, the chance to dine with friends and family, participate in outdoor arts and crafts, and enjoy live entertainment.

Our care home in Hinckley has addressed the issue of accessibility to the garden for all residents by ensuring wheelchair-accessible paths, providing seating for those with mobility concerns, implementing secure fencing and gates, maintaining pathways, ensuring adequate lighting, and incorporating other safety features to prevent any accidents and prioritise the well-being of all residents.
