Activities at Juniper House Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.
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 and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies
Life at Juniper House Care Home
Cream Tea at the Garden Centre
Some of our lovely ladies enjoyed going out on our mini bus to the Bell Plantation Garden Centre. Before finding a table in the garden centre Café to enjoy a delicious cream tea they enjoyed having a look around at the beautiful plants and flowers in the shop to get some inspiration for our gardens here at Juniper house.
Easter Celebrations
We were busy celebrating Easter throughout the start of April! Easter is an important time to all, lots of time spent with loved ones and lots of time eating chocolate! Our residents were busy getting creative undertaking Easter themed arts and crafts and baking some Chocolate nest Easter cakes to share. We also had a visit from Fiona Harrison, who performed her ‘Easter Bonnet’ Easter themed live show. It was lovely to reminisce and have a dance to her wonderful choice of songs.
A Visit from Zoolab!
On the 3rd of April, we had the amazing ZooLab visit us here at Juniper House, with a great selection of interesting animals.
We got up close and personal with: a Gerbil, a Madagascan hissing cockroach, a Australian tree frog, a American corn snake, a Tortoise and a tarantula!
It was a chance to have a look at, touch and learn about the different animals and creepy crawlies. Staff and Residents all had fun this afternoon.
