Activities at Harper Fields Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.
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.
Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies
Life at Harper Fields Care Home
Landscape Painting
We spent Thursday morning doing some landscape painting and some of our residents were able to show off their hidden talents! Janet used to study art and showed us her fantastic scenic painting. It was a very enjoyable arts activity loved by all that came.
Mad Hatters Tea Party
We had a weird and wonderful time at the Mad Hatters Tea Party last Sunday. We indulged in scrummy scones with jam and cream, some delicious cakes and we washed them down with hot tea in luxurious bone china crockery. There was some wonderful chats and laughter that filled the dining room.
Valentines Day
Cupid sprinkled his magic over Harper Fields today and we had a lovely day celebrating. We started the day with Valentine’s Day Arts & Crafts. We made some pom-poms out of wool, and some Valentine’s Day cards for loved ones. There were some lovely conversations between the staff and residents about loved ones, and we shared some beautiful memories of those we have lost that are held close to our hearts. We then embarked on a Valentine’s Day Scavenger Hunt with prizes to win with every single clue. There was a special treat at the end, courtesy to our wonderful kitchen, who made some special Valentine’s Day themed cakes and biscuits. It's safe to say they went down well. We then tested our knowledge with a Valentines Quiz, and ended the day watching a performance of classic love songs with some wine.
