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
Valentine’s Day Party
All you need is love.... and chocolate and wine and cake! We had a wonderful time celebrating with staff, residents and staff at our valentines party on the 14th of February. A big thank you to David Mcfegan for playing wonderful music that got us all singing along to familiar classics. Everyone enjoyed wine, bucks fizz, cake, chocolates, strawberries and much more. The kitchen team made the refreshments very on theme for a day of love.
Pancake Day
Pancake making on pancake day was a wonderful time here at Juniper House. The smell of delicious traditional pancakes travelled through the home which everyone enjoyed. We opted for traditional lemon and sugar. What’s your favourite pancake topping? We had residents, staff and family members join in the fun and everyone shared their tips and tricks to get the best pancake!
Tipple and Topic and Book Club.
Our residents enjoyed a drink of their own choice, the favourite being Baileys, from the Tipple Trolley! We then had a donation of some books given to the home so everyone enjoyed choosing some books to take and read. Residents enjoyed chatting about what they have been enjoying reading and are looking forward to swapping the books when they have finished reading them.
Christmas Party Time
Thank you for all those who celebrated Christmas with us at our Christmas party! We enjoyed live piano music from Chris the Piano Man, lots of food, cake and of course Mulled Wine and Baileys to drink! There was lots to celebrate at our Christmas Party!
This included celebrating, Colin, our head of maintenance, for his 10 year service!
Jess, our hostess, for being nominated Employee of the Month!
Jinto, Saji and Nibine for their dedication creating the nativity scene and Hayley for ensuring the party was a great success! Well done everyone!
Christmas Day - Father Christmas Visits
On Christmas Day here at Juniper House, our residents (and Staff!) enjoyed meeting Father Christmas himself as he visited each individual residents. Father Christmas gifted each residents with an individual personalised present and of course posed for a picture. Residents were happy and pleasantly surprised to meet them man himself on Christmas morning. Staff could help but stop to say hello to.
Elf Day in Aid of Alzheimer’s Society
On Friday the 1st of December we kicked of our Christmas celebrations and held a little festive coffee morning in aid of Alzheimer’s Society Elf Day. Staff and Residents enjoyed wearing elf costumes and enjoyed some festive treats and had fun singing Christmas songs and taking Christmas pictures with the elves!
We raised £21.44 which was donated to Alzheimer’s society!
