Activities at Harper Fields Care Home
There is always something to do here at Harper Fields and always someone to assist the residents in any activity they wish to take part in. We have entertainers come into the home to sing and play instruments on a weekly basis, as well as visits from PAT dogs, hairdressers, massage therapists and nail technicians to pamper those who live here. Residents' spiritual needs are taken into account at Harper Fields; we have regular services from the Catholic and Methodist church, in addition to the Church of England, and for our non-religious residents, we have a weekly calming and peaceful ‘mindfulness and meditation group,’ which is very popular, especially for those living with dementia. Residents often like to attend cinema evenings to watch their favourite films on the big screen (complete with sweets and popcorn), or develop new skills at our computer classes, where they can learn how to Skype their families in other countries. Our activities are tailored to suit the individual interests and capabilities of residents and our specialised equipment enables those we support to enjoy everything we have to offer.

And in the afternoon we had a mini picnic in Windsor garden with beautiful cakes made by our amazing chefs and chilled prosecco listening to some good old rock and roll, it was a beautiful warm afternoon.
Ivan’s wish come true
Ivan has lived at Harper Fields for just over a year and he is beloved by staff and residents alike. Staff at the home were delighted to be a part of making his dream come true, as they knew how much it meant to him, and they all wanted to be there to see the smile on Ivan’s face when his dream was realised. Ivan trained as a baker and later became a pastry chef and teacher. Ivan has always had a strong work ethic and likes staff to reminisce with him regarding his career. Ivan still enjoys to cook, on his bucket list item was to bake again so head chef Luis made this a reality. Well done all, the bread Ivan baked of course tasted amazing.
