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
Swing & Jazz
We were entertained by swing and jazz singer, Neil Patterson, who gave his renditions of classics dating from the 1920s right through to the Rat Pack era and modern favourites.
Animal Mania
We were visited by Animal Mania and the residents were treated to an up-close experience with several exotic animals, including a sugar glider, a tree frog, a corn snake and a furless guinea pig, which is called 'skinny pig'. As usual, Carla from Animal Mania gave an interesting talk and ensured that all of the residents present were included and able to see and handle the animals.
Scrabble Afternoon
Scrabble afternoons at Hunters are always very popular and, at times, very competitive. Residents can spend a relaxing sociable afternoon whilst keeping the brain active and stimulated.
Mobile Shop
At this month’s residents' meeting, residents asked for a shop where they could buy toiletries and snacks. We responded by creating a mobile shopping trolley to go around the home to ensure that residents can buy what they need in the comfort of their own home.
Ukebox Jury
This week at Hunters we were entertained by the Ukulele duo Ukebox Jury, who treated the residents to an afternoon of classic songs and ukulele hits including the unforgettable George Formby.
