Activities at Henford House Care Home
Our Activities Coordinators are constantly striving to mentally and physically stimulate those we support by organising group and individual activities for anyone and everyone to participate in, as well as visits from PAT dogs, musicians and entertainers. We also host evenings such as our cheese & wine nights, pub evening, quiz nights and special occasions such as, Guy Fawkes, Easter and Christmas where we like to encourage relatives to come to. Activities are one of the most important aspects of a care home, so it is essential that our team are dedicated to ensuring that residents are entertained, and that life at Henford House is fun and active.

I joined Henford House in March 2014; after five and a half years of domiciliary care, this position became available at Henford and I decided that it would be great to do more of the fun things in life with residents! It is great here at the home; we get along so well and truly have some laughs. Residents have a wide range of activities to participate in each week, including armchair exercises, bingo sessions, singalongs, musical entertainment, pottery, manicures, celebrations and much more. It is very rewarding knowing that people are grateful for the work I've done when I go. Working here has also given me the opportunity to gain my Level 2 NAPA certificate.

Life at Henford House Care Home
20 Years of Service
Care Assistant, Lynda Walker, was awarded with flowers and a gift voucher for her 20 years of service here at Henford House. Well done, Lynda!
Larkrise Community Farm Visit
Residents had cuddles with cute guinea pigs, a very large bunny and some Polish chickens. The giant pen was set up in the lounge and the residents could observe the fluffy animals.
One chicken in particular was showing off, as he would perch on the edge of the pen, very proudly getting everyone’s attention with a loud 'cock-o-doodle-do'.
International Nurses' Day
Henford House celebrated International Nurses’ Day to support our nurses and care staff who make a real difference to the lives of those we support.
Nurses’ Day is a chance to recognise and reward the important work and dedication of nurses everywhere, who often go above and beyond the call of duty.
Volunteer Recognition Day
10 Years of Service
We had the pleasure of celebrating a Long Service Award recently. Care Practitioner, Laura Wright, has been with us for a decade now and is a much-loved member of the team. Many congratulations, Laura!
Open Day
Young and old came together for an open day as well as to celebrate the 92nd Birthday of Queen Elizabeth.
Residents and visitors were entertained by a street-style party, with entertainment from John Holcombe, who played music on his guitar.
