Activities at Atfield House Care 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 Atfield House Care Home
Arts and Crafts
Residents really enjoyed art with a difference. They got the chance to search, pick and use all natural products that just happen to be in and around our lovely gardens. There were some lovely creations made.
Exercise Challenge
Staff and residents always enjoy a challenge. They recently heard about a new initiative called take action get active, they were keen to get involved. Every they will exercise for 30 minutes. Whether that be chair exercise, garden yoga or even a short walk. Its a great way to get fitter as well as raising money for charity.

A loved one at Atfield can have dedicated visits in their bedroom, use of our visiting suite as well as spend time in our beautiful gardens with friends and families enjoying high tea or even a glass of fizz!
Virtual Sea Life tour
Staff and residents at Atfiled House were treated to a virtual tour of the wonderful underwater world of SEA LIFE London Aquarium, hosted by Senior Curator, James Wright and his expert team.

The shark tank alone is one million litres in volume and six metres deep and is home to five species of sharks – Sand Tigers called Bungle and Zippy, a Grey Reef Shark, Nurse Sharks, Tawny Nurse Shark and a shiver of Black Tip Reef Sharks as well as a Bowmouth Guitarfish called Betty.

Welcoming back our local high street
Staff took to the streets to welcome back our local high street. Armed with boxes of delicious sweet treats made by the homes chef. They wanted to let them know they were thinking about those that had to close during the last year. They were greatly received by everyone.
Mayor's Garden Visit
Residents and staff have a great relationship with Hounslow's Mayor Tony Louki. He is always on hand to either zoom with us or visit when he can & this time he joined us in the garden to Judge our Easter bonnet competition. Residents donned their creations for a second time so he could pick his winner.
