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
Baking Cupcakes
Residents at Hurstwood View love to bake; it brings back wonderful memories of their family life and when they were a children. We baked some cupcakes, decorating them with icing and handed them out to residents with a cup of tea – and received amazing feedback!
We are practicing our baking skills for our Macmillan Coffee Morning at the end of September!
A Riot at Raysteade!
We really enjoyed a sunny August day out to Raysteade to view the animals. We enjoyed stroking the horses, donkeys and passing dogs. We also went for a stroll around the Raysteade charity shop and then had some refreshments in the café
The Mad Hatter's Tea Party
The Mad Hatter’s On Tour Tea Party came to visit us! They provided lovely tea, cakes, entertainment and even put decorations up. We thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon and everyone was very happy and friendly.
Getting Creative
During an arts and crafts session here at Hurstwood View, we went for a walk and collected leaves and conkers from the garden to create lovely pictures.
Baking at Hurstwood
Residents enjoyed making some pin wheels for everyone in the home to enjoy.
