Activities at Hempton Field Care Home
Activities are an integral part of life at our care home. We want to ensure that the people we support have as much fun as possible during their time with us, so it’s important that our activities programme is created with the interests of residents in mind. Our skilled Activities Coordinators bring a certain uniqueness to the home that can’t be found anywhere else, and which is reflected in the activities they organise.
Nina Mullerworth
Hello, my name is Nina and I have had the privilege of working at Hempton Field in my role as Activities Coordinator for over 15 years and I am looking forward to many more! I have enjoyed continually developing in the role with a variety of training courses, including a Level 2 NAPA and Aromatherapy Massage.
I love interacting with the residents and organising a varied programme of activities with a person-centred approach based on Barchester's Life Enrichment Programme of enhancing the wellbeing of mind, body and soul. This includes ensuring residents can continue to enjoy hobbies, life experiences and keep active through exercise and music. We are involved with local clubs and welcome in members of the community as well as a variety of outings in the minibus - these are always very popular!

Life at Hempton Field Care Home
Flower Arranging
After seeing all the beautiful flowers in our garden starting to bloom, we thought it was the perfect time to appreciate the joys of Spring and create our own flower displays.
One of the ladies has won many rosettes for her flower displays over the years, and couldn't wait to get creative with us at Hempton Field.
Pudding Club
We are thrilled to announce that we have launched our very own Pudding Club.
The idea behind the club is for everyone to come along for a cup of tea and a catch up while trying out different types of puddings – what a truly excellent idea!
Residents, teams, family, and friends alike will have the chance to reminisce about their favourite puddings, past and present, and indulge in some delicious treats, prepared by our talented chef.
Everyone is welcome to join us.
Please stay tuned as we announce the dates for our upcoming pudding events. We hope you are as excited as we are.
Community Knit & Natter
We are delighted to have been invited to join a local community group in Aylesbury! We went along on Wednesday and joined in with the Knit & Natter session which they run weekly.
Currently they are knitting for premature babies, with items such as blankets and headbands being knitted. These will all be donated to the Neonatal Unit at Stoke Mandeville Hospital. We're eagerly looking forward to going again next week and continuing to knit and create new friends.
Tiny Farm Visit Hempton Field!
Hempton Field residents, staff and visitors had a wonderful time with a visit from Lucia’s Tiny Farm. We met Bernard the bearded dragon, Pepper the tortoise, Rosy and Joey the rabbits, Maggie the chicken, lots of Guinea pigs including Adele, Lola and Baby Lou at only 8 weeks old.
Everyone absolutely loved their cuddles with the rabbits and guinea pigs and the braver also met the rats and Bernard! Maggie strolled all around taking in the home and courtyard.
The famous Hempton Field home-made shortbread biscuits were handed out along with some Easter chocolate treats. Thank you so much to the team who bought today together and to everyone who attended, it was lovely to see families with all generations joining in. One family there were four generations attending, which is wonderful.
Hempton Field Launch Pudding Club
Hempton Field have launched our monthly pudding club and we started with the theme of custard. There were traditional favourites like trifle and egg custard tarts, as well as some new ideas including baked custard with nutmeg and a lemon custard cake. Every pudding was delicious, but the top of the list was the lemon custard cake with residents requesting that Heather makes this again soon!
Easter Baking Competition
Hempton Field have entered the Barchester Easter Cake Competition there are two categories, residents and professionals. The residents had a lovely afternoon baking and creating. We all discussed ideas and came up with the concept of the nest, we made a rich chocolate cake, with a chocolate butter cream filling and then the fun really started making our nest out of vermicelli. The chicks looked very happy with their edible home!
Heather's cake was a traditional sponge in an egg shape with very pretty flowers and leaf detailing giving a real feeling of spring.
Everyone really enjoyed working on the cakes and then all then really liked eating all our hard work!
