Activities at Highfield Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.
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.
Neil Barnard
Hi, my name is Neil, and I am the Activities Coordinator here at Highfield! I joined the team and role in March 2025.
I love being around people and making a difference to those individuals. Just to see the smiles on their faces brings so much pleasure. I have been a vocalist since 2021, and singing brings me so much joy. You may hear me before you see me.
Don’t be shy—come say hello! I hope you can join us for the fun activities we have planned!
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 Highfield Care Home
Virtual trip to Cornish Seal Sanctuary
A big thank you to the Cornish Seal Sanctuary for the fantastic live virtual event today!
Residents across our services loved seeing the seals up close and learning about the incredible work the sanctuary does to protect them and other wildlife in Cornwall as well.
Everyone truly enjoyed the experience.
Armchair Yoga with Bella
We know the importance of keeping our minds, body and soul active here at Highfield and group exercise sessions are part of our varied life enrichment programme.
We look forward to our monthly 'Armchair Yoga' with Bella and this popular session is a great way to achieve this whilst having a little fun!
Armchair yoga has many benefits, including improved flexibility and strength.
Eyes down for a game of bingo
Residents enjoyed a group activity this morning as everyone came together for a game of bingo with their eyes firmly on the prize!
Of course, there was a little friendly competitiveness involved but everyone had a great time, sharing fond memories of time spent in the bingo halls before settling back for a refreshing cup of tea and a chat.
Highfield's Summer Fete
We had our first Summer Fete with our residents, families, friends and community members singing along and toe tapping to Adele the Country and Western Singer.
With a BBQ serving hot dogs and cheese burgers, outside games for all ages and a tombola to win fantastic prizes.
The dance floor was thriving!
Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves!
Residents enjoy pet therapy visit
Here at Highfield Care Home we know how important a pet is to our residents, and leaving them with loved ones can be really tough.
This week we had the pleasure of therapy dog, Michael and his owner Lucy visit our residents for a well deserved cuddle.
Michael was loved by all the residents and brought smiles to every ones faces.
Friends from the community join us for lunch
It is important to us to keep our residents connected with their local community and to welcome our friends from the community to join us, we had the absolute privilege of a visit from the ladies and gentleman of Popplewell Springs to visit recently and enjoy a light lunch and take a tour of our home.
They all thoroughly enjoyed their meals and their fresh cakes and we look forward to welcoming them back soon.
