Activities at Harper Fields Care Home
There is always something to do here at Harper Fields and always someone to assist the residents in any activity they wish to take part in. We have entertainers come into the home to sing and play instruments on a weekly basis, as well as visits from PAT dogs, hairdressers, massage therapists and nail technicians to pamper those who live here. Residents' spiritual needs are taken into account at Harper Fields; we have regular services from the Catholic and Methodist church, in addition to the Church of England, and for our non-religious residents, we have a weekly calming and peaceful ‘mindfulness and meditation group,’ which is very popular, especially for those living with dementia. Residents often like to attend cinema evenings to watch their favourite films on the big screen (complete with sweets and popcorn), or develop new skills at our computer classes, where they can learn how to Skype their families in other countries. Our activities are tailored to suit the individual interests and capabilities of residents and our specialised equipment enables those we support to enjoy everything we have to offer.

Life at Harper Fields Care Home
Baking and Creative
This morning we had our 1st Tuesday of the month cooking club with Kitchen assistant Sonia, residents made fairy cakes was lovely to hear our Residents talking about what they used to bake and if they missed baking, some said they were glad they don’t have to do it now, cream cakes were a winner for a favourite cake. Thank you Sonia.
And then this afternoon we had Olivia from Creative Mojo Warwick & District helping us with our under water project looks absolutely fab, our residents worked hard, Maureen won outstanding achievement for her art work, well done Maureen it looks absolutely fantastic!
Wildlife Talk
We had a brilliant wildlife talk with Simon showing us all the different animals he captured on camera when he went to Scotland and showing us what we wouldn’t really get to see unless we spent the night in the Scottish forest residents really enjoyed his presentation and we all learnt something new and it even brought back memories of trips to Scotland. Thank you so much Simon, it was fabulous.
