Activities at Hampton Grove 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!

Our trip out today was to Rutland Water.

This church provides a scenic setting which appears to float on the lake.

the residents enjoyed the walk around the church and seeing the wildlife around there too.

Bowling Trip

Tenpin Bowling 

Residents took a trip to Bretton Tenpin Bowling today. Residents were very competitive towards each other and tried so hard to get a strike. Once a strike had been achieved, everyone cheered and clapped.

It was a great experience for everyone.

Trip to Hunstanton

On Friday we enjoyed a trip to Hunstanton. We stated off the day by watching the tide come in before tucking into some fish and chips. Then we spent the afternoon looking around the Sea Life Centre, learning about all the different animals. Lastly we stopped off for ice cream and no trip to the seaside is complete without a stick of rock!

45th Wedding Anniversary Celebrations

On Saturday we celebrated the 45th wedding anniversary with Karen and Peter.

Karen lives here in Hampton Grove and her husband Peter visits most days, and has become a very good friend to our residents, always making time for them when he visits.

So Hampton Grove wanted to make it a little special for them.

We set up a little tea party for the two of them and made a special cake for them to enjoy.

From all of our family here at Hampton we would like to wish them both a very happy anniversary.
