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!

I started working for Barchester in October 2020. The team here at Hampton Grove have made me feel welcome. No day is ever the same here.
My varied daily activities and events help to create a stimulating engagement programme to enhance the quality of life for each resident within the home.

Life at Hampton Grove Care Home
A trip to the 1940s
We took a trip back in time to the 1940's. A little tea room in Kettering called The Blitz. Everywhere you looked there was memories, the old money, tins that food came in, music boxes, old outfits, gas masks, photos newspaper's even the tables were made out of the old sewing machine basis.
It had to be done, some residents even tried on the hats....
The residents enjoyed afternoon tea their in bone China tea sets. Their words were, " this is amazing, I love it here, the food is so good, Look at that old...... it brings back memories".
I'm sure we will be returning there in the near future so other residents can explore too.
Trip to Peterborough Catherdral
A nice little trip to Peterborough cathedral today.
One of our residents Marica who came with us used to work at the cathedral as an meet and great person. It was lovely to take her back there, telling us what she used to do where she used to go.
Trip to Rutland Water
Our trip out today was to Rutland Water.
We visited the shoreline of Rutland Water, Normanton Church.
This church provides a scenic setting which appears to float on the lake.
the residents enjoyed the walk around the church and seeing the wildlife around there too.
Zoo Trip!!
Residents & the activities team from Hampton Grove had an amazing afternoon yesterday visiting Hamilton Zoo and having a picnic.
Residents really enjoyed seeing all the different and fabulous animals playing and having fun.
Janet's commented "I never had thought that I would revisit a zoo, this is marvellous, thank you".This comment is what it's all about.
Bowling Trip
Tenpin Bowling
Residents took a trip to Bretton Tenpin Bowling today. Residents were very competitive towards each other and tried so hard to get a strike. Once a strike had been achieved, everyone cheered and clapped.
It was a great experience for everyone.
Trip to Hunstanton
On Friday we enjoyed a trip to Hunstanton. We stated off the day by watching the tide come in before tucking into some fish and chips. Then we spent the afternoon looking around the Sea Life Centre, learning about all the different animals. Lastly we stopped off for ice cream and no trip to the seaside is complete without a stick of rock!
