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
Chatham Dockyard
Residents at Friston House have grown up with fond memories of the dockyard, some of them working there, some visiting, some remembering their parents who worked there. Regardless of how, most of our residents have some connection to Chatham Dockyard. We were absolutely delighted when Tracy and Lindsey came in to give a talk about the Dockyard, specifically a Sailors Life. One of our residents even took to dressing up for the occasion and brought his board of knots to show the ladies.
Armchair Exercise with Hannah!
We always have a blast when the wonderful Hannah, our lovely Armchair Exercise instructor comes along! Dancing around to all our favourite songs, it is a great time for all.
Armchair Exercise
We had a fantastic time doing Armchair Exercise with our lovely Hannah. Residents had a great time moving to the music and getting some exercise in their arm muscles.
Carousel Theatre Company
A lovely afternoon for our Best of British Pantomime from Carousel Theatre Company. Our residents had a wonderful time singing along and enjoyed dressing up in the hats and waving their flags.
Summer Fete
Wow what a turn out on Saturday for our fete! We’d like to say a huge thank you to everyone who helped us set up and everyone who came along to look at our stalls. We are so pleased to announce we made a wonderful £500 for the Kent Air Ambulance.
Rodents and Reptiles
We had a lovely visit from our wonderful River's Rodents and Reptiles recently, our residents had so many cuddles and kisses with the beautiful animals.
