Activities at Juniper House 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.
Hayley Brice
Hi, I’m Hayley I joined Juniper House In 2023. I have around six years’ experience in health and social care, starting as a healthcare assistant and then as I increasingly noticed how important residents well-being is in their daily life, onto an activities co-ordinator. I have grown passionate about improving their quality of life on a daily basis and being a companion and smiling face for our residents. I love to encourage residents to continue with things which they have always done throughout their life such as gardening or arts and crafts and also trying new things like learning a new dance technique! I am passionate about ensuring residents keep in contact with the community, so we regularly board the mini bus and I drive them to somewhere which they will love.
My favourite activities are in the summer where I plan many events to take place outside in the sunshine. Any excuse to be outside, whether it’s out in our greenhouse or having a drink in the garden with live music. I think this is such a happy time for residents and their families.

Life at Juniper House Care Home

Halloween Prepatations

Intergenerational Fun
A lovely morning was spent with the staff and pupils of our local school, Winchester House, where the children in the drama group entertained the residents and then provided some tea and cakes.
Macmillan Coffee Morning
Our Macmillan Coffee Morning was organised by the residents and was attended by friends and family members. Everyone had a great time!
Dogs for Good
We were out for morning coffee in our local coffee shop and guess who we bumped into: Dogs for Good, who were in training to work with people with disabilities in a busy area, although they did have time for a stroke and a bit of fuss!
Holy Communion
Once a month, the lovely and kind Anne from St Peter's Church comes to give residents Holy Communion and a short church service for all religions. Thank you again, Anne!
