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!

Life at Hampton Grove Care Home
Games at Hampton Grove
Today at Hampton Grove, we tried a new game by placing all the white ping-pong balls in one basket and all the coloured balls in the other, using both hands one ball at a time, at the same time.
This activity was great for movement and memory co-ordination, even the staff struggled with this game!
Out and about
Today residents from Hampton Grove took a little trip to Peterborough cathedral for its Christmas fair.
Bumping into family members and old friends. Residents Could resist in purchasing a few Christmas gifts themselves.

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.
