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.
Nina Mullerworth
Hello, my name is Nina and I have had the privilege of working at Hempton Field in my role as Activities Coordinator for over 15 years and I am looking forward to many more! I have enjoyed continually developing in the role with a variety of training courses, including a Level 2 NAPA and Aromatherapy Massage.
I love interacting with the residents and organising a varied programme of activities with a person-centred approach based on Barchester's Life Enrichment Programme of enhancing the wellbeing of mind, body and soul. This includes ensuring residents can continue to enjoy hobbies, life experiences and keep active through exercise and music. We are involved with local clubs and welcome in members of the community as well as a variety of outings in the minibus - these are always very popular!

Life at Hempton Field Care Home
Tickling the Ivories
Margaret used to love playing the piano, and last week Margaret treated us all by playing her favourite pieces of music from her own collection of songbooks! She was so goo, and kept us all entertained. We can't wait for our next little concert.
Painting for the Big Garden Birdwatch
We decided to get creative with painting colourful birds and flowers to get ready for the RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch!
For the event, we will be playing a vital role in understanding how UK birds are doing in our local wildlife by choosing an hour between 27-29th January and counting how many birds we can see in our garden.
Hempton Field Christmas Party
Our Hempton Field Christmas Party was a hit!
Smiles were on everybody's faces on Tuesday when we had our Christmas Party and we invited our loved ones to join us too.
We started the afternoon with a delicious buffet filled with homemade treats and food from our amazing kitchen team, before heading to our lovely new lounge for a fantastic festive sing-a-long with Matt Bond!
We were even lucky enough to be visited by Santa and receive gifts!
Mill Lane Community Garden
We are so excited to begin our involvement with Mill Lane Community Garden following a fantastic afternoon learning all about the exciting projects they are up to in our local community.
Two ladies who are part of the committee came and spoke to us and shared with us their achievements so far with the project and also what they have lined up in the near future!
Everyone found the afternoon inspiring, and it was lovely to meet new friends who we are looking forward to supporting!
Oh yes it is, it's Christmas Panto time!
What a wonderful afternoon we all had this week when the incredible Troubadour Productions came to visit us and put on an amazing show of the one and only Cinderella!
A few of our residents were picked from the audience to play a part in the show which provided great fun and laughter for all. Our 'after show' refreshments of course included a warm mulled wine!
We already cannot wait to see them again in 2023!
Christmas Carols
Last week we had the pleasure of singing some of our favourite Christmas Carols with Sydenham Choir! It was lovely to spend the afternoon together, which was made even better by enjoying a delicious, warm mince pie.
