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
Home present cheque to local Day Centre
We were thrilled to present Coundon Care day centre with a cheque for £500 which was awarded to the charity as a grant from Barchester Foundation. The day centre offers day care to elderly people who are in need of physical and memory support, this allows families a break from caring as well as stimulation & friendship for the person who attends the centre.
Mince Pie Baking
Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without homemade mince pies. Our residents delighted in teaching a few of the younger generation how to make ‘proper’ mince pies. Measuring, mixing, kneading then finally rolling out our own pastry, we felt a great sense of achievement. The final result was a bakers dream.
A Visit from Ellie
Ellie, who is one of our dedicated housekeepers, little dog visits Harper fields regularly. She’s like part of the family. She knows all the residents and they look forward to visiting. She especially like the little treats residents make for her.

Movement, music, singing & carefully crafted audience interaction, it was a feast for the senses. It injected awe & wonder, what a fabulous afternoon, the indoor snowball fight was truly awesome!

A festive Trip to Lichfield Cathedral
Lichfield Cathedral took our breath away, it is magnificent. The festival of trees they hold every year is truly superb. A wonderful festive array of real Christmas trees decorated by local businesses, schools & charities.
