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
Fitness and Break Dinosaur
We had the ever funny Mr Dod, who was on fine form as per usual, some lunch and then we started to paint our break Dinosaur. It's work in progress, but we started it’s a long way to go but we will get there.
Fireworks and Poppies
We made a start on our trailing poppy display and made sure we marked all poppies and their meanings. Purple for Animals who lost their lives in the war; Black for Afro Caribbean soldiers and white for pacifists and who don't wish to glorify war, as well as the traditional red. It's work in progress and is going to look stunning.
We finished off the day with our first ever Fireworks night. It was fantastic. We had sparklers, we had Roman candles and we had fountains.
Carpet Bowls
We had a fantastic morning with Carpet Bowls, Quoits and Velcro darts. We thought we found out that we had a ringer amongst the group as she knocked the jack out every time. But she was just lucky, so she told us! Well done to Una and John for the Velcro Darts high scores of the morning. It’s not as easy as it looks.
Trip to Great Yarmouth
What a fantastic day... the sun shone, there was a lovely sea breeze and we had fun. You can’t go to Great Yarmouth without chips from the market or without a trip on the snails. And we, more or less, did it all. Young at heart, full of fun and we will all sleep well tonight.
Autumnal Season Tree
Another great day here at The Warren; it started off with an armchair fitness session and then we made our season tree for autumn.
Alpaca Fun
You can have firsts in life at any age, and today is a day of firsts. Thank you so much, Burnt Fen Alpacas, for today; it was such fun and the ladies loved it.
