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.

Chelsea Flower Show
Celebrating RHS - Royal Horticultural Society Chelsea Flower Show by creating our own floral displays with Juniper House’s Beautiful Blooms Masterclass. A multi-sensory activity using fresh cut flowers, herbs from the garden & decorative accessories. The feel of the stems, softness of the petals & floral scents evoking special memories. Supporting creativity & social interactions, the Juniper Coffee shop was awash with colours. Residents reminisced about visiting the Chelsea Flower Show: “We brought sooo many plants on the last day, we didn’t fit on the Tube! It took us hours to get home!” “My Sister & I went each year as we lived in Chelsea, it was fabulous & I’ve seen it change so much over the years. I now enjoy watching it at my leisure on my iPad”
