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.
Ben Sandall
Hello I am Ben and I am the Activities Coordinator at Hunters. I started working at Hunters as part of the hospitality team, but when a vacancy came up on the activities team I jumped at the opportunity. I have seen how important a varied activities programme is and the team ensure we offer something for everyone including regular past times.

Flower Arranging
Residents took part in a flower arranging session; when the displays were finished, they were showcased in residents' rooms to brighten them up.
Garden Party
This week at Hunters we celebrated the glorious weather by holding a garden party. Residents were able to enjoy Pimms cocktails paired with fresh strawberries and cream teas.
Open Evening
To celebrate the completion of our recent renovation project here at Hunters, we held an opening evening for local professionals. Everyone enjoyed a glass of bubbly and food from the delicious buffet, which was prepared by Sam and Ollie from the kitchen. A touch of sophistication was provided by classical harpist, Marie France Roboulet.
