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.

Musical Entertainment in the Garden
Another busy day here at Team Warren. We started the day with words games and Anagrams based around World Beer Day. Who knew you can get so many other words out of one 12 letter words, well we did and managed 72. This afternoon we say a big thank you to Himazas for entertaining our residents. It was such a glorious day we just had to go outside. We served a selection of Fresh Lemonade or Mango Smoothies as well as a small selection of Beers too whiles listening to them perform, what a wonderful day we had, we adore this weather!
Scrabble Club
With this beautiful weather we are having we took Scrabble club outside....we have recruited so many new players we had to buy a 2nd board. We had great fun...from 2 players to start now we are at 8 players, we are quite proud.
Trip to Walcott and Potter Heigham
The Warren on tour....what a day out, we all came back tired after such a lovely day. The weather was perfect, the company was perfect, the food was perfect and well, it was all just perfect!!! We visited Walcott first and had a walk down the sea front, one lady said "I didn't think I would ever see the sea again" she was so happy. We then had lunch along with some chips..well we just had to!!! We then went a little further and visited Potter Heigham for tea and for what possibly could be the largest cake in Norfolk. Had a quick look around the shops, tried on some silly hats and then home for a nap.
PAT Dogs
Huge thank you to Rescue Dog to Therapy Dog for bringing Peggy and Buster to see the residents. As you can see from the pictures these little cuties made their day. Animal therapy is such a fantastic way for the residents to interact and its wonderful for their well being.
Herb Garden
We started our Herb Garden today and what a beautiful day it was too. We planted Rosemary, Thyme,Parsley, Oregano and basil and they will keep the Mint that is growing like wildfire company. Three great things about our Herb Garden, the residents get to enjoy their gardening, it's fantastic exercise and our chef will use the herbs in his cooking, can't beat the taste of fresh herbs!!! As soon as the herbs were planted they took a well deserved tea break.
National Museum Day
Today we had a trip out for National Museum day and we went to Museum of Norwich at the Bridewell we had a blast. We tried on hats, we looked at shoes, medicines, shopping and old Valentines cards that had been sent..it was such a wonderful time. We finished off with lunch outside (why not too!!) And a large cold drink to cool down...we were officially the "Ladies what lunch".
