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
Santa's Grotto Was a Huge Success
Our Santa's grotto looked spectacular this year. Residents enjoyed visiting Santa, thank you to all Santa's little helpers in creating the grotto, we could not have done this without you. The furry helpers were also very cute!
Magic Table Brings Christmas to Life
We had so much fun with the new Christmas games on our Interactive magic table. The goal is to have fun, conquer apathy & create positive emotions. It can improve quality of life with light hearted play!"
Supporting Our Wildlife & Birds
We are so lucky with the wildlife in our grounds at Harper fields. We set up new bird tables and feeders and filled them with fat balls and birdseed, hopefully that will attract new species for us to admire. These feeders will help the birds survive the winter weather too.
The Mayor Visits for a Community Planting Project
Solihull Lord Mayor, Councillor Ken Meeson, BC primary school, and Ashley, Deputy manager of BC Co-op visited. The Co-op very kindly donated bulbs & seeds to plant in our memory lane courtyard. We can’t wait for the Spring to see the beautiful variety of colours from our bulb planting event.
Trip to Oakes Farm Shop
We wrapped up warn to enjoy our mini bus trip to Oakes farm shop for early Christmas shopping, lattes, hot chocolate & a chance to see the sheep. We have had a super busy day!
Pet Therapy Brings Smiles All Round
We were so lucky to meet ‘Milka'. Milka and his ‘mum’ Helen had our residents smiling all afternoon. Milka’s breed is Havanese, he is so adorable and a little bundle of fun. We all fell in love with him and cant wait for their next visit.
