Activities at Hunters Care Home
Activities are the cornerstone of a wholesome home experience and our Activities Coordinators are always putting their creative minds to the test by organising new and exciting social events for residents to partake in. Of course, we take into account the likes and dislikes of those we support, so if someone doesn’t feel like trying something new, there will always be something on offer to reflect their personal interests. For the people who may just prefer some peace and quiet instead, we also offer one-to-one time that can be enjoyed with a nice cup of coffee or just a simple chat – whatever they desire.
Ben Sandall
Hello I am Ben and I am the Activities Coordinator at Hunters. I started working at Hunters as part of the hospitality team, but when a vacancy came up on the activities team I jumped at the opportunity. I have seen how important a varied activities programme is and the team ensure we offer something for everyone including regular past times.

Life at Hunters Care Home
Happy 107th Birthday Hilda
Residents and staff were delighted to share the celebration of another milestone birthday. Hilda is remarkable looking nowhere near 107 and still playing a very active role in life in the home. Hilda has been a resident at Hunters for the past 10 years, born in South Cerney in 1915, she is an inspiration to us all.
Head Chef, Leo made a special cake and residents gathered to toast the amazing Hilda.
