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
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!

Life at Hurstwood View Care Home
Primary School Visit
Residents went on a trip to the local primary school. They sat in on the children’s assembly. The children sang to them afterwards they joined in with an arts and crafts session.
Queen's Green Canopy
Residents helped plant a cherry blossom tree for the queens jubilee and we had a plaque made to commemorate it. Each resident threw some soil in.
Fish and Chips!
We collected our dinner from local takeaway and drove up to the Ashdown forest and had our dinner overlooking the views and local wildlife
Jubilee Celebrations
To celebrate the Platinum Jubilee we had a garden party with food, drink and live entertainment. The local community were invited and we had a large turnout!
Garden Centre Visit
This was a special trip for one of our residents. She had a trip to the garden centre where she got to choose what plants she wanted and went shopping in the farm shop. Her plants were then planted when we got back and out by her back door. Magic moment and one to one time.
