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 Tifrani
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
Armchair Exercise
To finish our week of activities, we ended it with armchair yoga. The residents enjoyed it very much!
A very big well done to Thelma for doing “The Tree”, with the help of a walking frame to steady her—she did amazingly!
Harvest Festival
We engaged the residents with making tea light holders to enhance our Harvest Festival display. We bought some Epsom salts and glitter, painted jam jars with PVA glue and them rolled them in the glitter and salt. We lit them with fake tea lights and it really set off the display; the lounge looked very cosy.
Dye cast cut fairies were also used to decorate the tea light holders. Residents who completed this really enjoyed this activity and were so happy with how impressive the effect was. We added them to our Harvest festival display and we think they look amazing.
Betty is a very accomplished artist, so we used one of her pieces of work to also show off her talents. We think she’s very talented indeed. Thank you, Betty, for letting us use your work.
100th Birthday Celebrations
We celebrated a local celebrity birthday here at The Warren. Rouse celebrated his 100th birthday milestone with a card from the Queen, a homemade cake cooked by our chef, and designed by our activities team, a decorated room and lots of presents.
From us all at The Warren: happy birthday!
Picnic Friday
Through the rays of afternoon sunshine, a few residents enjoyed a little afternoon picnic and drinks in our beautiful garden while enjoying each other's company
National Cream Tea Day
Under the glorious sunshine today, wearing their beautiful straw hats, our residents enjoyed freshly baked scones with strawberry jam and delicious Cornish Clotted Cream. A lovely afternoon had by all as you can see plates were more or less emptied by the time we took the photos.
The Queen's Birthday
Residents of The Warren gathered in the main lounge to celebrate the Queen’s birthday. We all sang happy birthday, had a singalong and enjoyed some birthday cake.
