Activities at The Warren Care Home
Here at The Warren, our activities team are always very busy thinking of new ways to keep residents active, both physically and mentally. We have regular trips out in the minibus, both locally and further a field, including the London Eye and the Thames River Trip), at least once a week during the summer months. We also enjoy visits from PAT dogs and have professional exercise sessions and live entertainment, which are always popular.
Kirstie Tifrani
My name is Kirstie and I am lucky enough to be the Activities Coordinator here at The Warren.
I have many years of experience working in care homes in Activities and leisure and lifestyle roles.
I love being part of The Warren team and supporting our residents to live their best lives with fun, interesting, and varied activities available every week. I always feel that the importance of residents' input into our weekly planner is important giving all residents equal opportunity to explore new interests as well as keeping up with previous interests and hobbies.

Life at The Warren Care Home
Christmas Market!!
What an absolute fabulous day. A huge thank you to all that came to our First Christmas Craft Market.. The mulled wine was flowing, the mince pies were being munched and the craft stall tills were ringing!! It was such a wonderful atmosphere. Steve Carmel joined us in the afternoon and performed for us and did some fantastic Christmas songs to finish. What a all round wonderful day.
Berts Amazing Creatures!!
Today some of us faced our fears... one lady was scared of rats...here she is facing her fear and having a good old cuddle with one... #proud.
Thanks Bert's Amazing Creatures for bringing your little creatures to see us again, shame they weren't all wearing little Christmas hats like I'd imagined

Wreath Making!!
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas the ladies loved making our Christmas Wreath for our front door this morning. We made 3 as we just loved doing them. Watch this space for it in pride of place very soon. More Christmas crafts to follow..we love Christmas here at #TeamWarren and can't wait to kick of the season Friday with our lit up Christmas trees at the front door
Resident Ray awarded Legion d'honneur
We started the day celebrating with Ray, who is our absolute hero. He was awarded a medal, but not just any old medal, the Legion d'honneur which is the highest french award. Only 10 people per year receive this award so for our resident Ray this was something very special.
Surrounded by family, friends, staff and residents the ceremony began. With a speech by Wing Commander Martine Verhulst, the giving of the medal, a poem about the war by Dale the morning was just pride. It was my absolute pleasure to arrange this ceremony for Ray..he's a true gentleman!
Halloween Fun at The Warren
What a hoot today was... we prepared for our Halloween trick or treat party.
A huge thank you to all that came and made it a fantastic success. We had gorgeous girls, and handsome boys, beautiful baby's and lots of fun and games.
Apple bobbing, the fun Mummy wrap, tiny skeleton hand stacking cup game, balloon tennis and who could forget pin the eye on the Zombie.
Race Night with Pizza
Thank you to all that came to our first Pizza, a pint and a Race night event. We had a blast. With fresh handmade pizzas made by our chef, the bar ready with nachos and dips, my glamorous assistant Tracey on the betting table we were ready. The guests arrived, the residents settled and "we were off".
