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.
Charlotte Arbon
I joined Ashby House in April 2022, I thoroughly enjoy my role as Activities coordinator and love coming to work and having chats with the residents and families.
I listen to the residents and learn about their interest and support them to be involved with activities. When I am not at work not at work I love spending time with my family playing board games.
We would love to have new ideas, if you have a skill you would like to share or would like to be involved with activities please email us at ashbyhouse.activities@barchester.com

Sports for the Elderly
We opened our doors to Milton Keynes College and Primary School in Stantonbury, who were very keen to deliver some sporting activities to our residents.
This was a great opportunity for young people to engage with those living at Ashby House, and also for residents to interact with young people of all ages.
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.
