Although residents at Atfiled House are able to enjoy our gardens, we are also fortunate to have St John's park opposite the care home. Residents have been enjoying spending time in the park with Baz our activity co-ordinator.
Meet our Activities Coordinator, Baz Gard
My background is in activities and marketing for other local care homes, and I have worked in the NHS as a Patient Advice Liaison Manager. I feel I have settled in well at Atfield House and am eager to use my skills, which I hope will enhance the already well-led home.
Activities at our home
Activities are an integral part of life at our care home. We want to ensure that the people we support have as much fun as possible during their time with us, so it’s important that our activities programme is created with the interests of residents in mind. Our skilled Activities Coordinators bring a certain uniqueness to the home that can’t be found anywhere else, and which is reflected in the activities they organise.
Life at our home
Enjoying the Sunshine
Reminiscence activity
Many of our Residents enjoying reminiscence and playing games to keep their minds active. This is one of our Residents playing a memory game with cards that have photos of film stars, Royal family members and sports stars.
The Petting Zoo visits Atfield
We recently had a visit from a petting zoo, who brought rabbits, guinea pigs and a lizard to Atfield House. The animals were taken round to all the residents who enjoyed their time with the small animals. This is the second time they have visited and both visits have been a huge success! We are looking forward to their next visit.
