Activities at Friston House Care Home
Our activity coordinators are constantly working to stimulate our residents both mentally and physically by organising group and individual activities for every one within the home to participate in. We have regular outings in our mini bus to various attractions within the area and in the summer we like to take our residents to the seaside, where they can enjoy fish and chips by the beach. Our activity programme is just one of the important aspects of the care home and we try our best to arrange the activities that our residents will enjoy.
David Johnson
I am David, I have been working at Friston House since December of 2023.
I have a background in the visitor attraction sector as an events and activities manager, working with families to create engaging, fun activities that result in long-lasting memories. It is my belief that care home activities should be just as fun, engaging, inclusive to all and worthwhile. Either as a group, self-led or on a one-to-one basis.

Life at Friston House Care Home
Burns Night Celebrations
We celebrated Burns Night with our very own piper! Alex kindly joined us for the afternoon and played some traditional Scottish music along with some of our old favourites that we could sing a long too. We tried Haggis and spent the morning painting our own Scottish Flags. Haste Ye Back!
National Winnie The Pooh Day
We celebrated National Winnie The Pooh Day with an indoor picnic, quiz and a sing song. On 18th January 1882, the creator of Winnie the Pooh was born, AA Milne.
His most famous creation springs to life on the page along with Eeyore, Piglet, Tiger and Christopher Robbin!
Thank you to everyone to came along.

To help deliver all the presents Father Christmas, his two elves and Rudolph came along to help! Here are a few pictures of the lovely residents receiving their presents. Ho Ho Ho!
1940's Radio Show
To wipe away them Christmas blues, we had our very own 1940's radio show, complete with a cast of 12 actors, singers and dancers! Not forgetting a sprinkle of fairy dust and our own ventriloquist. We sung along to all the war time classics and what a brilliant time was had all round, thank you to the cast for joining us!
