Activities at Hurstwood View 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.

Lisa Everson
Activities Coordinator & Speak Up Champion
I’m Lisa, Activities Coordinator here at Hurstwood View.
I’ve been working at Hurstwood View in varying departments since 2017, shortly after the birth of my second child. With a strong background in Marketing, events, and community engagement - Activities is a great fit for me! I love arranging events and making a difference to our residents’ day. I’ve never danced so much since working here, no day is ever the same, and we really do have so much fun!

Live music at Hurstwood View
Every Wednesday on Memory Lane we are visited by our wonderful accordion player, Su.
One of our most popular dementia-friendly activities, this week was no different, with our lounge packed to the rafters. It’s so lovely to see each and every one of our residents engaging with the music, and smiling from ear to ear whilst reliving songs from days gone by.
Thank you, Su, for providing such wonderful life enrichment in our home. Our Wednesday mornings wouldn’t be the same without you!

Visit to Lydfords!
We visited our sister home, Lydfords Care Home - Barchester Healthcare this morning. We enjoyed their beautiful garden pavilion, delicious cake, coffee and a wander around their gardens.
A huge thank you to Anthony & Carole for making us feel so welcome. Our residents loved getting to know yours, and enjoyed some time in the sunshine too.

Animal welfare centre
We took a trip to Raystede Centre for Animal Welfare. The centre has made some extensive enhancements over the past year, and is looking fabulous.
We enjoyed seeing goats, horses, alpacas, cats, dogs and lots of rabbits! After wondering around, we headed to the café for a coffee and scone. Our residents love getting out and about in the community, and Raystede is always a firm favourite – we’ll be back!

Dementia Friendly Quiz Afternoon
Magic At Easter
The home was full of magic and sparkle this afternoon, as we were treated to a magic show by Marco's Magic.
There were Singalong songs, card tricks, plate spinning, balloon creations, we had it all! Marco is a fantastic entertainer and really captivating towards the audience.
we invited the local community to join us and it was so wonderful to see so many come along and join in the fun.
Residents loved watching the children get involved and seeing them have so much fun.
Easter Cake Competition Winner
Huge excitement filled the home as resident, Jenny was announced the winner in the south region for the Easter cake competition.
Jenny’s fabulous cake consisted of a traditional carrot cake recipe with handmade decorations. The theme was a garden scene including bourbon biscuits as the soil, delicate edible flowers, trees and vegetables and even a biscuit garden gate. The end result was show stopping and so much attention to detail had gone into it.
We are all so thrilled for Jenny after working so hard on it.
Visit To The Famous Pooh Corner
Residents embarked on a lovely sunny country drive to Hartfield, where they stopped off for a delicious afternoon tea at Pooh Corner. They had chance to look at all the memorabilia in the shop and reminisced over the famous stories.
General Manger, Kirsty Johnson at Hurstwood View care home, said: “our residents love going out to different places and really enjoy driving through the countryside. We are very lucky to have some many wonderful places to visit near us.”
