Activities at Juniper House 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.

Life at Juniper House Care Home
RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch
Juniper House took part in the RSPB Love Nature Big Garden Birdwatch this year and enjoyed observing the nature from the garden area of the home. Everyone was happy to help and support the national survey by logging different species in their bird books.
Arts and Crafts
It’s nearly halfway through January, Christmas has been packed away for another year & we have been planning lots of lovely events for the year. We've been getting ready Burns Night & Chinese New Year, which are first on the calendar, by creating decorations at our Arts and Crafts sessions. We are looking forward to busy 2022 & the celebrations for our forthcoming 10th birthday in February!
Whole Home Approach
We love working together as a whole home here at Juniper House to support life enriching activities. Today staff & residents created beautiful sensory floral displays for our communities, using fresh cut rosemary from our garden & festive colours to celebrate New Year’s Eve. We wish everyone a happy & healthy New Year!

Blenheim Palace outing
Today Juniper House residents & staff along with fellow Barchester Homes in Oxfordshire boarded their mini buses for a fabulous adventure to Woodstock. Where a special invitation awaited to view the beautiful & stunning Nutcracker Christmas display courtesy of Blenheim Palace. We explored the Palace rooms, each one exquisitely transformed and filled with hidden surprises – from the toymaker’s workshop on a frosty Christmas Eve; through the glistening Land of Snow and onto the candy-cane Kingdom of Sweets adorned with the sweetest of treats and larger-than-life gingerbread men. It’s a fairy-tale world where nothing is quite as it seems, from a dashing Nutcracker Prince and an army of mice to a Sugar Plum Fairy and a music box with a difference. This fantastical winter display became a multi-sensory experience, evoking special memories & reminiscing about Christmas. Thank you to all the staff at Blenheim for all your help & hospitality. We thoroughly enjoyed the tea & cake by the roaring log fire in our own private hall for the afternoon!
