Activities at Friston House Care Home
Our activity coordinators are constantly working to stimulate our residents both mentally and physically by organising group and individual activities for every one within the home to participate in. We have regular outings in our mini bus to various attractions within the area and in the summer we like to take our residents to the seaside, where they can enjoy fish and chips by the beach. Our activity programme is just one of the important aspects of the care home and we try our best to arrange the activities that our residents will enjoy.
David Johnson
I am David, I have been working at Friston House since December of 2023.
I have a background in the visitor attraction sector as an events and activities manager, working with families to create engaging, fun activities that result in long-lasting memories. It is my belief that care home activities should be just as fun, engaging, inclusive to all and worthwhile. Either as a group, self-led or on a one-to-one basis.

Life at Friston House Care Home
Representing Residents
Our residents had a lovely time electing their Resident Ambassadors for the home.
After much careful consideration, John Edwards and Alice Webb were chosen. They were rewarded with a certificate and photograph pride of place in our main reception. The two of them were feeling very happy. They are looking forward to being spokespersons for the residents here at Friston.
National Allotment Week
We have been busy for National Allotment Week! We have taken part in flower and vegetable quizzes, planted some seeds and made some flower crafts.
esidents had great fun planting our basil and oregano seeds and some of our residents even relayed it back to planting flowers in their own garden at home whilst speaking about the different things they had grown.
Target Ball
Here at Friston we’ve been enjoying some games of Target Ball. Residents enjoyed this game because not only is it fun but also competitive. Everyone wants to be the winner! The game is great for those not only in the communal areas but in bed too!
Pampering & Manicures
A personal favourite for our residents is pampers and manicures. We file and paint their nails whilst engaging in meaningful conversation. The gentlemen like to have their nails filed and clean, some even opt for a pop of colour. Our ladies love to have a splash of paint, whether it be bright or neutral. The residents enjoy having their hands bathed and soaked in their hand creams!
Gardening at Friston
We’ve been making the most of this sunny weather here at Friston! We have been planting some basil seeds from our gardening kit. The residents enjoyed filling their plant pots with soil and seeds!
Mother's Day
For Mother’s Day this year, all our female staff and residents enjoyed receiving a card from us to thank them for being a wonderful mother! The residents were very happy to spend time reminiscing with their fellow residents about the Mothers Days they’ve had in the past!
