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.
Read our brochure 'Life-enriching activities' for more information about life in our care homes.

Life at Ashby House Care Home
Jacki Jolley
Our Head Chef at Ashby house is Jacki Jolley; she has over 20 years of experience in catering. Jacki has worked in commercial kitchens for over 10 years and decided to try cooking for elderly people, which was a completely new world to her when she first started.
Jacki loves having a chat with residents about food and, with the support of the hospitality team, she delivers tasty and nutritious meals to the people we support.
International Dementia Week
We celebrated International Dementia Week with a big vintage tea party. We had lovely music with DJ Tricky Micky as well as delicious cakes and cupcake’s. We all had an amazing time celebrating!
Minibus Trip
We took the minibus trip to Willen Lake and residents had a lovely time enjoying the great weather.
We're Loving It!
Co-op Donation
Our local Co-op donated tea, coffee, cakes and biscuits, so we invited in their representatives for a team party, along with members of the local community.
Easter Celebrations
Our lovely General Manager, Ana, joined us on Easter Sunday to celebrate with an Easter raffle, which helped us to raise £140. We also held an Easter egg hunt for residents, families and friends, and an Easter bonnet competition just for residents.
