AnnotationAshley House at Bordon in Hampshire is a purpose-built care home for 36 frail residents, of whom 22 have dementia. This article describes examples of the wide range of activities that the home provides for residents, from golf to building an artificial beach. In line with recommendations from Napa (the National Association for Providers of Activities for Older People), the home has an activities co-ordinator who, with the manager, visits all residents before they move in, to find out about their interests and hobbies.
