Care homes and elderly care from Barchester Healthcare

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

Movement to Music

Residents enjoyed their weekly class of 'Movement to Music'. It is a firm favourite here at Field House.
