Activities 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.
Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies

VE Day Celebrations at Ashby!
VE Day 80th anniversary celebrations have begun. Today we had Clare Care sing for our residents. Everyone took to a flag and hat to sing along to memorable music of the 40s!
Tomorrow we will be marking the anniversary itself with a patriotic party with our residents, who also this week watched the parade at Buckingham Palace.
Easter celebrations!
At Ashby House, we believe you're never too old for Easter eggs.
Ashby residents enjoyed white chocolate Easter eggs & Easter mousse during the afternoon tea trolley. Some of their expressions were beautiful! And the eggs went down a treat!
A trip to Willen Lake
Ashby House residents enjoyed an afternoon together at Willen Lake.
We enjoyed a lovely lunch and refreshments followed by a gentle stroll beside the lake. We can't wait to return. Bring on the summer!
St Patrick's Day!
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!
Love is in the air at Ashby!
Valentine's Day was a great success at Ashby House Care Home!
Everyone had so much fun, love and laughter. We hosted arts and crafts, and decorated heart-shaped cookies for our loved ones. A few of our residents went out to Central Milton Keynes John Lewis, where they had lunch and beverages. Love is in the air!
