Activities at The Warren 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.
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.
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 The Warren Care Home
Mini Donks Visit
Residents and staff had the most wonderful visit from The Mini Donks yesterday. It was delightful to see the joy on the residents' faces. Sarah McPherson, the owner, from Hempnall in south Norfolk, has been named as a finalist in this year’s GoCardless Just Giving Awards, after setting up a Crowdfunding page for the group Miniature Donkeys for Wellbeing, also known as Minidonks, which she founded in memory of her late mum, Pat.
Alpacas come too visit!!!
Lollies, lovely weather and Alpacas.... what a wonderful day we had with our old friends from Bumblebarn and a trio of Alpacas.
The residents loved them as per usual...we all fed them carrots, all loved a stroke and just enjoyed being outside. We had a cheeky one too, trying to steal ice lollies or eat our trees.
Morning Worship
Lovely start to the day with morning worship with Dean and Tim Sprowston Parish Churches. Was lovely meeting Tim too the residents loved sitting down and having a chit chat. The hymns was accompanied by a residents who used to be a Piano Teacher so she played along while we sung. We got the Organ in on loan for her to play while she has a short stay with us.

Lovely seeing Graham back at The Warren today...for his Country and Western show..the residents love him and his cheeky comedy too..or micky take on my behalf either way they love him.
Family Fun Day!
We had a lovely day the Sprowston Methodist church family fun day. We ate ice Creams, we had hot dogs and we had fun with garden games. It was fantastic.
The Goat Shed Kitchen
We had a fantastic trip to Fielding Cottage and The Goat Shed Kitchen. On arrival the goats were skipping in the field or sleeping with their mum.
We then went into the cafe for coffee. Coffee's done, the farmers market was the next visit, too many tasty goodies to choose from.
