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.

We are now rated 'Good'!
Atfield House recently passed a Care Quality Commission inspection with an overall 'Good' rating after we were praised for a responsive, safe, effective, caring and well-led service.
The CQC inspected us on the 5th February (the report was released on 6th March) and rated us as 'Good' overall and 'Good' in all five areas inspected, including 'Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive and Well-Led'.
In celebration of the rating and to thank each member of the team for their contributions to the home, each staff member was presented with £100 gift voucher in appreciation of their hard work.
Smarty Paints
Residents enjoyed an afternoon with 'Smarty Paints', a mobile pottery painting and craft studio. They choose the items to paint and when the session was completed, their pottery was taken away to be fired.
Residents were very pleased with the finished pottery, which they will use to decorate their rooms or give as gifts, and are looking forward to another visit from Smarty Paints, as are some of our relatives.
