Activities at Highfield Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.
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.
Neil Barnard
Hi, my name is Neil, and I am the Activities Coordinator here at Highfield! I joined the team and role in March 2025.
I love being around people and making a difference to those individuals. Just to see the smiles on their faces brings so much pleasure. I have been a vocalist since 2021, and singing brings me so much joy. You may hear me before you see me.
Don’t be shy—come say hello! I hope you can join us for the fun activities we have planned!
Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies
Life at Highfield Care Home
Greeting the neighbours.....
Here at Highfield Care Home, we are surrounded by beautiful rolling hills and there is an abundance of wildlife to sit and watch in our stunning gardens.
Our residents like to take a walk around our gardens and the current neighbourly horses are a favourite for our residents to talk to on their way around.
Spa afternoon
Residents at Highfield care home have enjoyed an afternoon of pampering as they were given a hand and nail therapy session. The team at the home were on hand to provide the resident centred pamper sessions, with residents enjoying treats such as cakes and refreshments whilst being given manicures and hand treatments.

Indoor Boules!
Here at Highfield Care Home we discovered all of our residents here enjoy a lighthearted competitive game.
So, what better way to find that competitive edge than to play some indoor boules in one of our spacious lounges.
Alison one of our resident said "I really enjoyed the game and playing against other residents."
The winner was Eunice, who was above all else a humble winner!
We look forward to other games in the home to keep this competitive spirit going!
Virtual trip to Cornish Seal Sanctuary
A big thank you to the Cornish Seal Sanctuary for the fantastic live virtual event today!
Residents across our services loved seeing the seals up close and learning about the incredible work the sanctuary does to protect them and other wildlife in Cornwall as well.
Everyone truly enjoyed the experience.
Armchair Yoga with Bella
We know the importance of keeping our minds, body and soul active here at Highfield and group exercise sessions are part of our varied life enrichment programme.
We look forward to our monthly 'Armchair Yoga' with Bella and this popular session is a great way to achieve this whilst having a little fun!
Armchair yoga has many benefits, including improved flexibility and strength.
Eyes down for a game of bingo
Residents enjoyed a group activity this morning as everyone came together for a game of bingo with their eyes firmly on the prize!
Of course, there was a little friendly competitiveness involved but everyone had a great time, sharing fond memories of time spent in the bingo halls before settling back for a refreshing cup of tea and a chat.
