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.

To celebrate the completion of our recent renovation project here at Hunters, we held an opening evening for local professionals. Everyone enjoyed a glass of bubbly and food from the delicious buffet, which was prepared by Sam and Ollie from the kitchen. A touch of sophistication was provided by classical harpist, Marie France Roboulet.

Employee of the Month - April
Congratulations to Top Parnell, our Receptionist at Hunters, who was named as the Employee of the Month for April. She always goes out of her way to help in many situations around the home that are not necessarily in her job description, and she always wears a smile and has a caring attitude.

Walks With Hawks visited Hunters again with a 'birds of prey' display. Residents loved making a fuss of them and having a real up close and hands-on experience.
