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
Wimbledon
Juniper House thoroughly enjoyed celebrating the Wimbledon Tennis Championships with residents & staff getting into the spirit with a delicious delivery of fresh strawberries courtesy of a residents farming family. Thank you so much for helping to bring a taste of Wimbledon to Juniper House. We also enjoyed jugs of Pimms and traditional cream teas whilst cheering on our favourite players.
10 Year Service Award
RGN and Head of Unit Tyisa, RGN Sweet Caroline & Head of Housekeeping Mandy have given an amazing 10 years to the care of residents at Juniper House.
Primarily joining as care assistants Tyisa & Caroline were promoted to senior carers, became the first cohort of care practitioners within the company and whilst working at Juniper started their nursing access course before joining University in 2018. Both ladies juggled family life, work, studies and gained their 1st class nursing degree in 2021. A day which everyone at Juniper House was incredibly proud of after watching their careers progress from their first day.
During her impressive service Mandy has been dedicated to leading the housekeeping team ensuring residents have a home from home experience with the finer touches you’d expect in a luxury hotel. During the pandemic Mandy kept the entire home safe for residents & staff during very difficult times.
All three ladies have welcomed residents & their families into the home and loved & cared for them like a member of the family.
Thank you for your service we are forever grateful for everything you do.

“Do you like Piña colada’s” Happy World Cocktail Day! Residents & staff at Juniper House enjoyed an afternoon of music & merriment sampling different cocktails & mock-tails. The summer is approaching & we are looking forward to the long summer days & fun in Juniper gardens with friends, families & a refreshing Pimms.
Chelsea Flower Show
Celebrating RHS - Royal Horticultural Society Chelsea Flower Show by creating our own floral displays with Juniper House’s Beautiful Blooms Masterclass. A multi-sensory activity using fresh cut flowers, herbs from the garden & decorative accessories. The feel of the stems, softness of the petals & floral scents evoking special memories. Supporting creativity & social interactions, the Juniper Coffee shop was awash with colours. Residents reminisced about visiting the Chelsea Flower Show: “We brought sooo many plants on the last day, we didn’t fit on the Tube! It took us hours to get home!” “My Sister & I went each year as we lived in Chelsea, it was fabulous & I’ve seen it change so much over the years. I now enjoy watching it at my leisure on my iPad”
