Activities at Hunters Care Home
Activities are the cornerstone of a wholesome home experience and our Activities Coordinators are always putting their creative minds to the test by organising new and exciting social events for residents to partake in. Of course, we take into account the likes and dislikes of those we support, so if someone doesn’t feel like trying something new, there will always be something on offer to reflect their personal interests. For the people who may just prefer some peace and quiet instead, we also offer one-to-one time that can be enjoyed with a nice cup of coffee or just a simple chat – whatever they desire.

Life at Hunters Care Home
Enjoying Local Beauty Spots
Hunters’ residents enjoyed a day of trips out in the beautiful local area. The morning was a trip to Cirencester park before an afternoon trip to South Cerney for a cuppa overlooking the lakes. The residents all enjoyed getting out and about whilst reminiscing about previous trips to the beautiful Cotswolds!
Games on the Lawn
It was for all ages at Hunters today with a fantastic Easter Egg Hunt. Residents along with family and friends spent the afternoon in the sunshine searching for the hidden eggs in the hope of winning a chocolate prize! All this was followed by a hot cross bun and cup of tea. Even the Easter bunny made an appearance!

Hunters' Residents Attend Bibury School's Easter Service
It was beautiful sunny day for residents to attend the Bibury Church of England Primary School service. The children presented their beautiful pictures and they spoke so very well as they shared the Easter story. The Easter Bunny even popped by, greeting the children and residents with chocolate eggs. Thank you for inviting us to such a wonderful service.
Hunters go Back to the 1960s
It was an amazing 1960's day at Hunters. It took us all back to flower power, miniskirts and a decade of great social changes not forgetting the fabulous music. Everyone greatly enjoyed live entertainment from Lula May and it was such fun with many dressing up with a 1960s theme.
