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

Head of Activities

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.

Activities and Events Partnerships

As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies

A Visit to Chatham Historic Dockyard

What a brilliant time we had visiting the Chatham Historic Dockyard, some of our residents got the opportunity to explore the dockyard from jumping on board the ships to looking at underground exhibitions, albeit slightly windswept we’d expect no less for a ship!   We were joined by Linda who told us all about the history of the Dockyard and how things had changed over the years.   Thank you so much for having us Linda, we can’t wait to come again soon!

Birthday Celebrations!

Such a wonderful time we had recently celebrating one of our residents birthdays, we hope he had a wonderful day!

Thank you so much to Not King Cole for performing a beautiful Medley of different music, it really got everyone up on their feet.

Our residents love dancing and this was no exception, smiles could be seen everywhere!
