Activities at Hurstwood View 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.

Activities Coordinator & Speak Up Champion

I’m Lisa, Activities Coordinator here at Hurstwood View.

I’ve been working at Hurstwood View in varying departments since 2017, shortly after the birth of my second child. With a strong background in Marketing, events, and community engagement - Activities is a great fit for me! I love arranging events and making a difference to our residents’ day. I’ve never danced so much since working here, no day is ever the same, and we really do have so much fun!

Afternoon Fun

We had our local cub group join us for an evening of Christmas card making and preparation for their carol, singing with us in a few weeks. Doris our eldest resident took great joy in showing her card she had received for her 100th birthday and the leaders and all the cubs were keen to hear from Doris the secrets of a long life and happiness.

Autumn Crafts Morning

We invited local parents, grandparents and Childminds with their toddlers to join us for a morning of autumn fun. We explored the gardens collecting conkers, leaves and playing in the water fountain before returning indoors for a hot cuppa chocolate whilst leaf painting, making conkers caterpillars and autumn hedgehogs.

Everyone had a great morning and asked when we would be hosting another toddler and carer event

Yoga Session

We have been practicing yoga within our home for 6 months now and the benefits are really starting to show as some of the participants balance has improved so much that they are able to stand for some of the session.

Grace, our yoga instructor is patient and adaptive to everyone’s needs and the time to reflect and meditate at the end gets us all ready for the day head.

Ice-creams at Newhaven

We made the most of the last sunshine and headed to Newhaven for ice-cream on the beach and to make use of the new disabled access ramp which goes down the beach.

The sun shone as we watched the boats, ferry’s and water skies as well as the brave visitors taking a dip in the cold sea

Sunflower Competition

As a follow on from our summer fete we had a competition between, staff residents and visitors to grow the tallest sunflower. Huge congratulations to carer Liz who’s sunflower grew so tall we were unable to measure it.

Evening at the Races

We were lucky to be presented with some tickets to the Lingfield races by a resident's family member. We had a great evening socialising with other members of the community, placing our bets and enjoying chips, and a glass of fizz right next to the race track.

Unfortunately we didn’t have any winners, but had a great time none the less.
