Activities at Hampton Grove Care Home

Our home is always full of life, and we can thank our wonderful Activities Coordinators for this. Dedication to creating a unique and interesting activities programme is what sets us apart from other homes. We always take into consideration that some people would prefer to pursue their own interests, which is why our team strive to incorporative activities that cater to a wide range of tastes and hobbies. Our trips out are always fun and exciting as well, and residents are guaranteed to return with stories to tell their loved ones!

Creatures from the rain forest

Here at Hampton Grove residents are not always able to go out on trips, so we try our very best to bring interesting things into the home for all to see and do.

This week our residents experienced the visit from the Zoolab, with the creatures from the rain forest. We met insects like centipedes, tarantulas, lizards.

Residents couldn’t wait to hold them.

Delightful excursion to Sandringham House & Gardens

The residents of Hampton Grove Care Home enjoyed a delightful excursion to Sandringham House & Gardens. Although we just missed seeing King Charles, who visited last week, the vibrant colours of the grounds were truly a sight to behold. We explored the Church and the Stables, savoured a lovely picnic on the estate, and topped off our visit with tea and coffee at the estate's charming coffee shop.
