Activities at The Warren Care Home
Here at The Warren, our activities team are always very busy thinking of new ways to keep residents active, both physically and mentally. We have regular trips out in the minibus, both locally and further a field, including the London Eye and the Thames River Trip), at least once a week during the summer months. We also enjoy visits from PAT dogs and have professional exercise sessions and live entertainment, which are always popular.
Kirstie Bush
My name is Kirstie and I am lucky enough to be the Activities Coordinator here at The Warren.
I have many years of experience working in care homes in Activities and leisure and lifestyle roles.
I love being part of The Warren team and supporting our residents to live their best lives with fun, interesting, and varied activities available every week. I always feel that the importance of residents' input into our weekly planner is important giving all residents equal opportunity to explore new interests as well as keeping up with previous interests and hobbies.

Life at The Warren Care Home
Lets Rock
Big thank you to the wonderful Graham Johns for a fantastic afternoon of entertainment. We sung, we danced, we clapped and we waved our arms... we had a blast!!
Amazing Creatures
Huge thank you to Bert's Amazing Creatures for bringing your little cuties to meet us. We loved them. I was so amazed by how brave our residents are as they are so open to new experiences.
Honey, the most gorgeous rabbit I have ever met..just sparked so many lovely memories in our residents as they kept rabbits as kids, so they loved meeting her.
Urban Jungle visit
What a wonderful trip out we had today. I took the Gents to Urban Jungle and enjoyed koi, cake and coffee. They really enjoyed admiring the fish and reminisced about fishing in their younger years. After looking at the fish, we had cake and coffee and boy was it a nice cake too!!! One resident said it was the best lemon cake he had ever had..now there is a recommendation!! Thank you Urban Jungle for your hospitality. We will return. We also very nearly accidentally stole a cat too..very friendly and a very handsome kitty indeed.
Burns Night!!
We celebrated Burns night with a bang....we ordered daft hats, bunting, napkins and' of course, flags!!! Our chef cooked a meal of traditional Haggis, Neeps and Tatties along with Cranachan to finish. Our resident, Scott's man, joined in with the fun and wore a silly hat with the other gentlemen on the table...I love it that our residents embrace my daftness and join in with silly stuff.
Superb Charlene Jean Vocalist
We were lucky enough to be entertained by the superb Charlene Jean Vocalist. She made such an impact on the residents. She dressed in a 1940s army uniform and sung all their favourite Songs. She was just fantastic. After she left, all the residents said how good she was and could I book her again.. Little did they know that I knew they would love her and we already had dates in the diary for her to visit again.
Food Bank!!
We were overjoyed to hand over our first food bank donation to Norwich FoodBank. They were so grateful for the goodies and necessities we brought them.
We are still collecting, so please keep your donations coming as they are gratefully received.
