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.
Lisa Everson
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!

Life at Hurstwood View Care Home
April Open Day
We all gathered in the communal café to watch the Grand National to see who would be the winner of our in-house sweepstake. We celebrated with themed decorations and bunting, afternoon tea and plenty of Buck's Fizz.
We were pleased to welcome people to view our home and share the excitement of race day.
Chick Visit
We were joined by 12 tiny chicks that were only 2 weeks old. Everyone held 2 chicks each, as they didn't like to be separated, and some even went to say hello to the less mobile residents.
Valentine's Day Bake-Off
Staff, residents, families and friends all put their baking pinnies on for our Valentine's Bake-Off. The brief was to create 4 heart-shaped biscuits, and 1st, 2nd & 3rd place prices were awarded to the 3 best.
New Kid on the Block
In February, we were visited by Petpals, who brought with them 2 very friendly goats that would do anything for a treats, They explored our home with the activities team and met lots of people along the way.
Jigging & Jiving
There was time for a quick waltz along to the live band before we headed out for supper.
