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
Bollywood
We enjoyed a bit of Bollywood at Atfield House. A lovely young performer got us all dancing along!
Our Lady of Sorrows Church
Our Lady of Sorrows Church hosted a wonderful afternoon recital and our Residents enjoyed the beautiful music by the students of Gumley House School.
International Firefighters Day
The local community is very important to us at Atfield. On International Firefighters Day we paid a visit to our local fire station with goodies and a hand-painted card.
Gardening
We took advantage of the lovely weather and decided to try some amateur gardening. Everyone is excited to watch our tiny plants grow.
International Day of Museums
We marked International Museum Day with a trip to the Eel Pie Island Museum and a walk by the embankment. We learned about local history and culture, had ice-cream and enjoyed the sunshine!
Your Welcome!
Families, friends and our community are so welcome here at Atfield House.
This welcome is often delivered by Carol, who is part of our administration team. Carol has been with our team for over 25 years and we are really hoping she can manage another 25 years as she is such an asset to our home.
Carol is pictured below with our fantastic Deputy Manager Carmen, who has also stood the test of time here at Atfield House and has been with us a massive 18 years.
