Café Trips & Bingo Fun! 🥰

We had a great start to March with a trip out to our local cafe - soaking up all that lovely sunshine. Everyone enjoyed the chance to chat, relax, and eat a tasty lunch in the community. A big thank you to the café staff for making us feel so welcome! ☕️

Our residents' competitive spirits were in full swing during our afternoon bingo session. So many near wins and eager faces, everyone was just waiting for that 'Bingo!' moment. Such a joy to see everyone having a great time! ⭐️

🪩 Disco Dancing🕺💃

Last week, we had our first disco night of the year and it was a hit! Everyone enjoyed catching up after the holidays, and the dance floor was packed all night. It was so great to see everyone back and catching up after Christmas. 🥰

A night filled with fun, laughter, and maybe a little too much dancing – definitely ready for a good night's sleep after such an amazing evening! Thank you to everyone who helps organise such a fantastic event in the community ❤️👏

Last Week at ASH! ✨

Just a lovely little update from us here at Andrew Smith House. Last week, we welcomed our new WISH Activity Team Lead, Carol, who is taking over for Razia whilst she is on her maternity leave. Carol has been busy getting to know our lovely residents one by one with both group activities and one on one moments 🥰

From perfect little pamper sessions with our ladies to group arts and crafts, it has been a great week of introductions - we can’t wait to see what you have planned Carol ❤️

Happy New Year! 🎉

We kicked off 2026 with a delicious feast whipped up by our amazing kitchen staff. A delicious roast dinner, followed by a mouth watering desert mousse and a little tipple along side 🥂

Afterwards, we had loads of fun and laughter with a New Year's quiz. A perfect way to start the year! 😄

⭐️ Employee of The YEAR ⭐️

As we say goodbye to 2025, we have been reminiscing over the past year and all the great things that have happened in our home… and one of those great moments was when Mo joined us in May 🥰

Home Manager Diane said, “This is Moniruzzaman (Mo) and he's been working with us since May 2025 on nights. We are proud to announce that he is our employee of the year 2025. We have had lots of wonderful comments from his fellow team, complimenting Mo on how he is always helpful, kind, and I can say he always has a smile on his face and is always happy. This obviously has such a positive effect on our residents. He will do anything asked and is already a valued member of our team!”👏

Congratulations Mo and thank you for your hard work and dedication to our home ⭐️
