Activities at Hunters Care Home

Another great afternoon with the amazing Alan Tocknell, who is a real favourite with our residents. Lots of singing and dancing from the residents and nurses. Music is such good medicine and Alan always gets everyone smiling as he performs a range of hits from throughout the decades.

An activity which has fast become a weekly favourite at Hunters, Schoola always brings out fun and competiveness for our residents. The residents have 10 disks to slide down the board aiming for the holes at the end, scoring various points. After a few rounds we add up the scores to find a winner. The board itself was made by Geoff, who has been a resident at Hunters for the last few years. He always likes to share hints and tips as we play. So much fun and laughter, with David our champion on this occasion.

The return of an old favourite with flower arranging at Hunters. This is always a popular activity for our residents, both those who have a lot of experience and those having a go for the first time. Everyone loves creating beautiful bouquets to show off around the home. Lots of tips and stories shared and as usual the end results were amazing. Well done everybody.

A fun day of baking at Hunters today. First some fantastic biscuit making with help from our Memory Lane community. Lots of laughter rolling out the mix and then decorating delicious chocolate chip cookies just in time for a cuppa. Then this afternoon was all about pizza making with the General community. Lots of fun as we loaded up with our favourite toppings, sharing stories of past pizza experiences. Followed by a patient wait as they cooked so we could all sample the yummy results. A great day with fantastic treats for all.

An active afternoon of table tennis at Hunters. Lots of fun with residents trying both seated balloon tennis as well as braving ping pong balls for a real game. Balloon tennis is always a favourite and a lot trickier than it looks. Our residents love any chance to get active and this was no exception. The competition was high as we all had a go to see who had been picking up tips from the recent Olympics. 

A rock ‘n’ rolling afternoon at Hunters for our 50’s & 60’s party. Live music from the brilliant Bobby Bee, singing some old classics including a fantastic Elvis tribute. The dining room was rocking as we sang along with Bobby, bringing back lots of fond memories of years gone by. Singing, dancing, fun and laughter as usual made for a great afternoon. So many smiling faces and some cheeky mock-tails. We even had a visit from a Pink Lady.
