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.

Life at Hempton Field Care Home
St David's Day at Hempton Field
To celebrate St David’s Day the residents at Hempton Field were treated to a menu full of traditional ‘Welsh’ dishes including; Welsh rarebit, roasted leg of lamb or David’s day risotto served with Welsh onion cakes. And for pudding… Pwdin Eva (Welsh Apple Dessert).
They enjoyed Welsh music and watched a beautiful ‘virtual’ tour of Wales, which brought back fond memories of family summer holidays across this 'land of song'.
Fairtrade Fesival Week
This week we were joined virtually for an informative talk recognising 'Fairtrade Festival' week. Local volunteer and friend of the home; Rod Thorpe enlightened our resident group on the #FairtradeFoundation
Rod provided the group with a wonderful selection of snacks for us to try, he explained the values of Fairtrade; "a simple way to make a difference to the lives of the people who grow the things we love".
We all now understand why we should #ChooseFairtrade Thank you so much Rod for your gifts, time and interesting talk.
