Activities at Juniper House Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.
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.

Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies

Puzzle Day!
On Wednesday 29th January we celebrated international puzzle day. We joined together and enjoyed Jigsaw puzzles and word searches on the rainbow. We had lots of fun.
Everyone was asked which puzzle they would like to do. Some wanted to do a jigsaw puzzle while others wanted to do word searches on the rainbow table. The ladies sat at the table and picked which puzzle they wanted to do. We started by getting all the pieces for the outside ready first. It was harder than we thought, but that did not stop us. We were all determined to get the puzzles finished.
At the end of the day, not only had we completed the puzzles, but we also had long-lasting memories. Puzzle day was not just about solving challenges, it was also about team work. We couldn’t help but smile and laugh, reflecting on the fun we had. A sense of fulfilment that came from working together to overcome the hurdles. It was a day filled with joy.
Carroll picked her puzzle as she said what a beautiful picture was on the front. Helga said she was not going to give up and had very little help at the end and finished the puzzle. Sheila enjoys doing a puzzle every day in her room, so she had a big smile on her face watching others doing puzzles and enjoyed finishing her one off as well.







A visit from Sam!
Every Wednesday at Juniper House we look forward to seeing Sam the PAT therapy dog.
Sam brings us all so much joy, happiness and love. He loves all his treats and the love he gets at Juniper House.





International Flower Day
On Monday the 20th of January, we celebrated international flower day here at juniper house.
We all sat and chatted about all the different flowers and their scents. We took this opportunity to do something we really enjoy at Juniper House and spent the afternoon making some flower arrangements.
The beauty of flower arrangements lies in their ability to bring joy and colour into our lives, making every day feel a little brighter.
So, we celebrated international flower day by embracing the art of flower arrangements and enjoying the bloom that elevated our spirits and environment.



Joan turns 100!
What a wonderful start to 2025!
Our lovely resident Joan turned 100 on Saturday. She had an amazing day celebrating with her family and all the staff at Juniper House.
When we asked Joan how she felt she said... “I can’t believe I am 100, what a wonderful day I’m having with the family. I am so lucky!"
She was also thrilled with her special card from the King.



Nativity!
On the 11th December, we were delighted that Beachborough School had asked us to go along to the school to watch a wonderful nativity play dress rehearsal.
When we arrived at Beachborough School, the hall started to fill with older children in the school ready to watch A Twinkly Nativity. From the moment the first carol rang out, it was clear how much dedication and effort had gone into this production. The children's voices blended beautifully, filling the room with the timeless magic of Christmas songs. It was impossible not to be moved by their enthusiasm and the genuine joy they radiated.
Beyond the beautiful melodies, the play itself was a testament to the hard work of every single child involved. Each one, whether playing a shepherd, a wise man, an angel or, of course, Mary and Joseph, threw themselves into their roles with passion and commitment. They delivered their lines with confidence and charm, and their carefully crafted costumes added an extra layer of enchantment to the scene.
The children, from the youngest to the oldest, delivered a truly wonderful performance that filled hearts with joy and festive cheer. The smiles on the children's faces when they recieved the biggest applause will be unforgettable.









Christmas Lights!
The chill of December had settled in, but the festive spirit, Brackley was burning bright-literally! As we stepped into December, we made sure we took trips around Brackley, not to reach a destination, but to soak in the dazzling lights that had transformed the town into a winter wonderland.
We had our Christmas music playing on the minibus as we set off to find some remarkable houses. It wasn't long till the first house was in view, it was full of lights. Gasps of wonder rippled through the vehicle as each turn revealed another breathtaking display. From twinkling lights, to an inflatable snowman waving cheerfully from the front lawn, the variety and volume of the decorations were truly impressive. Everyone who went out to see the lights said what a wonderful time they had looking at them. There were smiles from the time we left till much later on in the evening.
Jean said how beautiful the lights were and didn’t want to come back and wanted to go see some more.
June said that it was just amazing. She said she'd never seen anything like it.
Helen said she couldn't believe how many lights she had seen. She said people go mad now at Christmas, but it's so nice to see. Keith said they are very nice, but he thinks people are now in competition to see who can have the most. Elizabeth said thank you so much for an amazing evening. We all had a great time seeing all the lights!
