Activities at Ashby House Care Home
Activities at Ashby House
Our Activities Coordinators are constantly striving to enrich peoples lives here at Ashby House. We stimulate people both physically and mentally by organising fun filled, group and individual activities to promote the well-being of those we support.
There are regular outings in our very own minibus and visits from PAT dog therapists, church services, musicians, dancers, and local school children. We also have our very own 'Good Life' gardening club, where we grow our own produce, which we then use in our cooking club. We also host weekly bingo sessions which are proving very popular and are growing in numbers.

Life at Ashby House Care Home
Getting the Groove On
We busted out the record player and got our groove on whilst reminiscing over a cuppa tea and and some cake.
Open Day
We opened our doors to the local community in January and welcomed everyone into our lovely home.
The Guest of Honour
Mary was invited to be the guest of honor and open the new bingo venue in Milton Keynes. She has been going there for many years and has made wonderful friends. Mary was presented with an award, flowers, dinner and drinks, and we have been asked to return for Mary’s 99th birthday in May with other residents from Ashby.
Intergenerational Fun
A local childminder visits Ashby every week with young children to interact with residents, who really enjoy their company and smiles.
Lunch Trip
Residents enjoyed a lunch trip out at our local Marks & Spencer. They got the chance to enjoy some fresh air, the beautiful sounds of the birds and, most importantly, a bit of normality.
Baking Fun
Residents has some fun baking cakes to stimulate their senses. This activity also aids with orientation and provokes reminiscence, as residents always remember previous baking experiences.
