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
Trip to Geldeston Locks
The day started with drizzle, but the residents were not perturbed! Off they went on our minibus to the Highways Nurseries, where they had a carvery lunch. In the afternoon the sun was shining on the Waveney river near Geldeston Locks House.
The public house is situated at the end of the navigable river and to this day runs on a generator. One of the residents was delighted when an Apache helicopter flew overhead whilst sitting by the river. A perfect end to a great day out.
County Arts Choir
Residents and guests at the Warren Care Home enjoyed a night of grins with a live choir concert that took place at the home. The County Arts Choir performed a selection of songs on Friday 5th July.
General manager, Emma said: “Our residents and guests had a wonderful day singing along with the wonderful performers. We do our best to provide a wide range of activities and entertainment at The Warren as part of the lifestyle enrichment programme for residents, and this was one of our favourites!”
One resident said: “I haven’t heard such wonderful voices in a long time.'
