Activities at Herne Place Care Home
Ensuring that our social events offer fun and adventure are a major focus of the ethos of our home; it’s important that those we support can enjoy an active and social lifestyle. Of course, there will always be those who prefer peace and quiet, and in these instances, a cup of tea and a chat is always be welcomed.
Sophie Glasgow
My name is Sophie, I am the Activities Coordinator here at Herne Place Care Home. It is my duty to ensure all residents feel happy and content. I love my job because I enjoy seeing our residents smiling and having fun on a daily basis.
I enjoy getting to know all of our residents on a one-to-one basis and in a group setting. This allows me to get to know their hobbies and ambitions as individuals, and fulfil these with life enriching activities they appreciate and will benefit from.

Life at Herne Place Care Home
Wack a Mole
Today our residents enjoyed our very own version of Wack a Mole!
Our activities team made their way around the home offering carnival games, bringing the fairground to them in the comfort of their own home.
Wack a Mole was our residents' favourite game!
Special Moments
Today we had a lovely visit from a resident from our sister home, Sutton Valence Care Home.
We got to deliver something very special to both of our residents, wife and husband reunited after spending a year apart from each other.
This was a wonderful moment for both as they enjoyed fine dining together and having a wonderful catch up!
This was very special to both residents and it was inspiring to see the love they share for each other! It truly was a very special moment!
Ice Cream trip to the Seafront
We had a fabulous afternoon trip to the beach with some of our residents!
We spent the afternoon admiring the lovely views in our local town and also stopped for a delicious ice cream on the seafront!
Luckily the sun was out!
Lots of smiles all round!
Herne Place Sports Day
A fantastic Saturday with our homes Sports Day with Staff VS Staff. Our residents had the pleasure of cheering their team on as we competed against each other to win Sports Day!
We had games throughout the day with football, egg and spoon race, tug of war and piggy back race. Our residents were a great crowd.
One of our residents said “That was absolutely brilliant, can we have another Sports Day! I really enjoyed that, well done!” Here is to our next Sports Day!
A visit to Briary Pre School
We would like to thank Briary Pre School for a lovely cream tea! It was delicious! We spoke with the little children while enjoying a lovely scone and a glass of lemonade, we also had the opportunity to hear the children singing some songs for us too.
Minibus Trip to Herne Bay Seafront
We had a lovely trip to Herne Bay Seafront recently and our residents got to see the children on the pier crabbing, we was also admiring the old pier and reminiscing memories of when our residents used to visit the beach with their families.
