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
Board Games and Cards
We got out the board games this afternoon and played various games. We ended up playing Snap of all things, we laughed and laughed and it got all very competitive.
Indoor Bowls
We worked off the Christmas Chocolates today with some carpet bowls. We had an expert among us who also gave us some tips and suggestions on how to “up our game”. We had a great time and learnt a lot from his tips.
Chocolate Fountain and Charades
We started the day with a game of good old fashioned Charades and what a time we had, boy did we laugh. Followed by a sumptuous chocolate fountain, with marshmallows, strawberries, shortbread and pineapple to dip in...Yum! We also offered a diabetic choice with a delicious vanilla yoghurt to dip instead.
Decorating the home for Christmas
Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas. We had such a lovely day transforming our conservatory into the "Grotto" and putting up the Christmas trees and we haven't finished yet!!
But we stopped to have a lovely trip to Blue Boar Garden centre to see the singing reindeer, and the Christmas displays. We also just had to stop off for a cup of tea and the largest hot chocolate in Sprowston, our resident wasn't sure if she needed to climb it or drink it.
Bumblebarn Alpaca visit
A big thank you to Bumblebarn for bringing Lemmy and Boss to see us today. They were very well loved by all the residents wonderful day had by all. They happily walked around the rooms meeting all the residents, I think they loved it as much as we did. They make the sweetest noise too which surprised us all, they talk to each other with a Hum.. Its so cute.
Christmas wreath workshop
We had a full day of Christmas activities. We started with Christmas Wreath making this afternoon and finished off the day with Andre Rieu “Home for Christmas” DVD. Mulled wine and cheese footballs were the treats of the night too.
