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
Trip to local garden centre
You can tell that Christmas is coming as shops have all their Christmas decorations and displays up already. On our trip to Dobbie’s we enjoyed looking at all of their wonderful Christmas decorations, our residents loved it, really getting us in the Christmas spirit. We will be going back in December to buy some festive flowers.
Autumn photo shoot
We set up an area in our home and decorated it for a seasonal Autumnal photo shoot. Residents really enjoyed doing this and have asked to do a festive photoshoot for Christmas time!
Sensory lavender bags
We enjoyed making our own lavender bags for our residents this month. Firstly some of our residents helped pick the fresh Lavender from our Sensory Garden, we really enjoyed this part, getting residents outside in the fresh air and the smell from the Lavender was amazing.
We then filled our organza bags, and now our residents all have their own bags in their rooms.
Autumnal Arts
Residents have been getting creative making some lovely Autumnal cards and wreaths for our Harvest Display we will have on display in our home. Here we are enjoying Leaf Printing.
