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
Christmas Eve Quiz
Ali put on a great Christmas Eve quiz which was so enjoyed by all, this was accompanied by fizz and festive nibbles.
Mince Pie Master Class
Hunters' residents enjoyed a festive afternoon making mince pies. Head Chef, Leo went through each step with hints and tips for the perfect mince pie. Once baked these were very much enjoyed with a mulled wine.
Christmas Jumper Day!
Hunters' residents and staff looked great today in a variety of Christmas jumpers. The fun day continued with a performance by Shane Driscoll, there was lots of singing along and toe tapping.
Elf Fun at Hunters!
Hunters joined in with Elf Day for the Alzheimer’s Society, the home was scattered with elves. What a great fun day we all had while raising funds and awareness for this vital cause. There was a pass the parcel and other festive games, all with festive bubbles and music!
Hunters by Night
Hunters staff and residents have decorated the home and it looks magical. Thank you to the maintenance team who worked so hard to decorate the outside trees, we were all so excited to see it all lit up and it really does look like Christmas!
Celebrating 30 Years of Care with an Irish Theme
Hunter’s residents and staff celebrated Barchester’s 30 years of care in style with an afternoon of celebrations all with an Irish theme. We welcomed Irish dancers, from Ferrell Irish School of Dance, who were so entertaining and talented. This was all followed by Irish Cream, Guinness and cupcakes.
Thank you so much to the team here at Hunters who really do go the extra mile to make these events so successful.
