Activities at Hawthorns Care Home
We understand that the people we support have passions and interests that could be difficult to pursue after moving into a care home – but that doesn’t mean we don’t encourage them to try! Some hobbies can define a person, so our Activities Coordinators are dedicated to ensuring that everyone we support is able to do what makes them happy to the best of their abilities. Social events are organised with individual tastes in mind and with the idea that residents have the opportunity to try new and exciting things.

Life at Hawthorns Care Home
Bikefest 2016
Hawthorns had its first ever bike meet; we held it in our car park and it was such a success that the bikers have asked when the next one is! Residents had a great time and we sold teas, coffees & hot pork baps, which helped to raise money for our residents' fund.
