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
And that's a wrap!
Our Platinum Jubilee Party has finally been and gone. We had the most wonderful time, residents and their families got to come together to celebrate in style with a selection of delicious food, a tombola, raffle and cup of tea!
We had a fantastic performance from Sarah, she sang all the hits and our residents and their families had great fun singing along.
African Cultural Day
Wow what an absolutely outstanding time we had yesterday for African Cultural Day! Our celebrations took place in our big garden. At the centre of our African Day was our wonderful Deputy Manager Mary who took to the kitchen to cook some of the delicious traditional African food, our lovely African members of staff, came to join us too, wearing their beautiful clothes. We enjoyed the Music of the African Culture and tried some delicious delicacy’s. Our residents had so much fun. We’d like to say thank you to everyone who made this possible including our staff, the church involved, the 1:1 care company who joined us and our wonderful Chef Abin.
