Activites at Ashby House Care Home

Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.

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.

On St Patrick's Day at Ashby House Care Home we had so much fun. Our residents enjoyed a treasure hunt, following the shamrocks and rainbow pots until they found the end of the rainbow, which we all enjoyed the found treasure of chocolate coins and a small Bailey's to finish off the afternoon.

Happy St Patrick's Day to everyone!

Wedding Surprise for Resident

One of Ashby House residents Granddaughter got married recently, and because her Grandmother could not make the wedding, they dressed up in their wedding attire to give a lovely surprise to Margaret. 

She was so overwhelmed by this, it was a lovely afternoon for us all and below is a message from Olivia thanking Ashby House for this chance:

‘’We had a wonderful afternoon so I would like to say a massive thank you to all the staff who supported us and for allowing us to use the living room. It was a wonderful experience and I really appreciated being able to give her that experience.

Have a wonderful Christmas.

Best wishes’’
