Activities at Flowerdown Care Home
Our home is always full of life, and we can thank our wonderful Activities Coordinators for this. Dedication to creating a unique and interesting activities programme is what sets us apart from other homes. We always take into consideration that some people would prefer to pursue their own interests, which is why our team strive to incorporative activities that cater to a wide range of tastes and hobbies. Our trips out are always fun and exciting as well, and residents are guaranteed to return with stories to tell their loved ones!
Kate Harfield
Hello My Name is Kate Harfield I have been at Flowerdown care Home for about a year now as the activity coordinator I really enjoy my role meeting the residents and families on a daily basis.
I have worked in all aspects of care from being a carer who supports people in their own homes to working with people who have learning disabilities.
I do have a busy family life with my husband, daughter and our dog Patch- we also have PAT dogs that come into our home which both I and the residents really enjoy.
I also enjoy taking people outside in our lovely garden as I feel that being in nature really helps to improved wellbeing as I also enjoy walking my dog every morning.
