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.

Life at Hunters Care Home
Sunny Walk Around the Woodland Trail
It was a beautiful sunny afternoon at Hunters and residents Gwen and Jean enjoyed a walk around the woodland trail and then all around the gardens with Ali from the activities team. The grounds are looking beautiful with spring flowers and blossom on the trees.
Residents Enjoy a Visit from Bibury School
Hunters enjoyed another another great visit today from Mindsong, as well as a special visit from Bubury Church of England Primary School who also gave residents a treat performing a beautiful song. Thank you both for visiting Hunters.
Happy St David's Day
Hunters celebrated St David's Day with daffodils all round, creating our own and decorating the home. We all said it was the first sign of spring, warmer weather and longer days.
Birthday Week!
The team at Hunters go out of their way to make every residents' birthday special and this week we were delighted to celebrate Betty's 95th and Leither's 99th birthdays. Both ladies are amazing for their age and entered into the spirit of the celebrations.
Pancake Flipping!
Everyone joined in the pancake flipping at Hunters for Shrove Tuesday and it was such a laugh! We also greatly enjoyed eating them as well!
Happy Valentine's Day
Hunters had a great day celebrating Valentine's Day with a difference, we had a country and western theme. The activities team decorated the dining room beautifully, and there was a special lunch enjoyed by all the residents. We were delighted to welcome back Donna whose songs got us all dancing and toe tapping. There was a packed house and it was a full fun packed day.
