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.
Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies
Life at Herne Place Care Home
Yoga Monday
Today we had a yoga session with Shireen from Yogatriolgy. We focused on controlling our breathing as well as different relaxation techniques and strategies. We thoroughly enjoyed the session and felt refreshed and rejuvenated afterwards.
Today We Turn 3!
Herne Place Care Home celebrates it's 3 years of service with a festive summer barbecue and live music from Criterian Strummers May.
Residents, their families, and the staff were delighted to get together to commemorate the bonds we have all made throughout these 3 years.
Herne Place Care Home will continue to commit to providing quality care to our community.
Homemade Pizza Monday
We had lots of fun creating, making and tasting our own version of homemade pizzas. We used a variety of different colourful, tasty ingredients and toppings including fresh peppers, onion, cold meats, mushrooms, cheese, tomatoes and sweetcorn. They were delicious!!
National Fish and Chips Day
What a fun day we all had. Our residents had an amazing time (despite the weather), travelling in our minibus to the local town of Tankerton. They enjoyed tasty fish and chips thanks to Ossies Fish Bar followed by a small stroll along the prom. We had a fantastic time.
Musical Instruments and Movement
This morning at Herne Place our interactive group activity included percussion instruments whilst several residents danced and sang along. Music therapy is key to mind, body and soul.
Charity Car Wash
Thank you to all that came along and supported our charity car wash today in aid of The Fire Fighters Charity. The Herne Bay Kent Fire and Rescue Service consistently had a queue of cars waiting to be washed. We are pleased to advise that we raised approximately £300 and all donations will go to their worthy charity.
