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.

Life at Harper Fields Care Home
Classic car show
Amazing day at Harper fields as the Coventry Classic Car Club rolled in! The event witnessed by Harper fields residents, friends and families was incredible. The memories these vintage beauties brought to our residents was priceless. George and his family have talked about the event ever since.
This little quote was sent from a family member. “ Thank you for organising such a lovely event. Dad (George Badger) had a fabulous time chatting to all the owners. Well done Harper Fields and your lovely staff!”
Leo the Tortoise visits Harper fields
The day Leo the Tortoise came to visit., residents couldn’t get enough of him. The colours and markings on the little creature are incredible. They each wanted to hold him and feed him. Warwick nursing care assistant Lesley took Leo to each residents room, so everyone could have a hold. Some of our residents had never been up close to such a small tortoise. As you can see residents could hold Leo in the palm of their hand. Now carer Lesley has to bring him in everyday as residents look forward to seeing him. Leo’s become Harper fields resident pet and resides on Warwick community in Dorrie’s room.
‘Bar 103’ opening
The day finally arrived for our brand new bar open evening. Angela who kindly donated a large sum of money towards the bar cut the ribbon and declared our ‘in-house pub’ open. We celebrated with a Spanish themed evening. Our superb chef’s mixed sangria to drink, paella to eat and lots of nibbles throughout the evening. We dressed up in all our finery and danced the evening away to the fabulous sound of ‘ANDANTE’
Nosotras bailamos toda la noche means we dance all night said 100 year old Agnes. A totally awesome evening was had by residents, families and staff.
U3a Swing Afternoon Tea Party
As a way of saying Thank you to the Fabulous U3a band members, we invited them in for a delicious afternoon tea with us. What a surprise we got when they turned up with their instruments and said they had each been rehearsing to play a solo performance for us. Our outstanding hospitality team served a delicious array of sandwiches, homemade sausage rolls, cakes, Jam & cream scones. Tea & coffee were served then a cheeky prosecco and a few beers for everyone. I really do think a picture tells a great story and this fun photo brings out the happiness in us all. A truly splendid day for everyone.
Harper fields ‘Summer Fete’
Howdy Partner! We had an absolutely amazing day at this year’s Summer fete. We had Country & western singing with the fabulous ‘ANDANTE’, We had cowboys, giant garden games for the children, bbq pulled pork rolls, ‘Gin & fizz stand, lots and lots of local hand-made, home-grown, hand-baked stalls. The weather wasn’t very kind to us but that didn’t stop the fun at Harper fields. It was so good to have the support of the local community. A superb day was had by all.
Cheeky shopping trip
Harper fields very own mini bus was in full swing this week, as the sun came out so did we!
Some of our lovely ladies on our Kempton residential community had asked to go on a shopping trip. So we gladly obliged. While browsing around the clothes shops and treating ourselves, we stopped at the coffee shop. Delicious cappuccino’s and juicy do-nuts for everyone. Joan spoiled herself to a nice new jumper, as you can see from her gorgeous smile, she really enjoyed her day out.
