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
Dressage Event
Hunter's residents visited the neighbouring Hunters Equestrian for an afternoon of dressage. It was a lovely afternoon thank you so much for the hospitality and time spent talking to residents, everyone had such a good time. Valerie and Vivian have been horsewomen all their life so absolutely loved chatting about the horses and their time competing. Their cat was also in on the action loving the attention and fuss. There was even a fly past!
Mediterranean Sunday Lunch!
Hunter’s traditional Sunday lunch went Mediterranean along with the weather. The hospitality team served up a wonderful selection of barbeque food and accompaniments which everyone agreed was delicious and perfect for a hot day. The lunch had a real party atmosphere with our own Biggles and bubbles! It was lovely to enjoy the hot weather before it got too hot to enjoy! Thank you to the team who made the day really special.
Pebble Painting
Hunters' residents were continuing their creativity today painting pebbles for the woodland trail. Painting is so relaxing and residents are really enjoying the arts and crafts sessions. We want to keep adding to the woodland trail so if anyone has any items that they could add to the trail that would be great, so far it includes fairy houses and a tortoise!
Stunning Florals
You will notice when visiting Hunters how beautiful the Hunters' gardens and grounds are looking this summer. Residents love getting involved in looking after the plants and with such hot weather watering was very much needed so we were very grateful for some help.
Still Life Drawing
With such glorious weather residents wanted to be outside but nothing too active so Ali set up a still life drawing session. This was a very relaxing way to spend time in the sun and greatly enjoyed by all.
Summer Sunday Lunch
It was a perfect summer Sunday lunch at Hunters dining al fresco. Our beautiful courtyard was the ideal setting and with such delicious food and wine it was so relaxing. The perfect afternoon was topped off with more Wimbledon.
