Activities at Hempton Field Care Home

Activities are an integral part of life at our care home. We want to ensure that the people we support have as much fun as possible during their time with us, so it’s important that our activities programme is created with the interests of residents in mind. Our skilled Activities Coordinators bring a certain uniqueness to the home that can’t be found anywhere else, and which is reflected in the activities they organise.

Daisy Milne

Activities Coordinator

I previously worked in a nursing home as a receptionist. I really enjoyed this job, and it was there that I started to help out and get involved with activities. 

I left the job to go travel around Australia. After I returned from my travels, I was so lucky that the activities position became available at Hempton Field when it did… I feel it was meant to be.

On this occasion it was cake making, which looked like a lot of fun....and mess!!

Creepy Crawlies

A Spooky Halloween SurpriseWe had an early Halloween treat at Hempton Field as welcomed Lottie from Zoo Lab for a morning of spooky creepy crawlies!Our residents were brave enough to touch, feel and hold some of the eight legged visitors that came to see us including 'Pumpkin' the snake who was slithering around the lounge.At Hempton Field we love being able to bring all types and species of animals in the home. As one of the foundations of our Life Enrichment program, we know that animal therapy can help reduce blood pressure and improve overall cardiovascular health whilst also provide informative talks and learnings for us all.

Happy Birthday Frances

Making Wishes Come True We shared an incredible experience here at Hempton Field as we celebrated in style Frances's 100th Birthday with a trip to remember on the Chinnor Steam Train. Frances's wish was to have one more trip down the tracks as she spent her life growing up in the area, riding and listening to the train throughout the years.To make the occasion even more special to those involved, the steam engine will also be celebrating its 100th year in service later this year, meaning both Frances and the train shared a moment of history together.Thank you all the of the team for putting this together, it was a magical experience for Frances and everyone involved.
