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.

Six Nations Championship

This week we celebrate the beginning of this’s years Six Nations Championship - the oldest rugby championship in the world, dating back to 1882.   There is great excitment here at Atfield House and the celebrations of our residents and staff  have already started.   Twickenham Stadium is literally just round the corner from Atfield House, so of course many of our residents and staff are massive Rugby supporters.   Non less than our fantastic General Manager Elaine Robson  who is an avid Rugby and Scotland fan.   Today, in preparation of our many talks, views  and activities surrounding the championship, our team visited Twickenham Stadium to take pictures to show and discuss with our residents,  of the 27ft tall bronze sculpture just outside of the stadium depicting a Rugby line up.
