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.

Employee of the Month - January
Matthew, our Admin Assistant, was named Employee of the Month for January here at The Warren. He is always happy to help and nothing is too much trouble.
15 Years of Service
Friday 13th January saw several members of staff and residents gather in the TV lounge to see Joy presented with her 15 Year Service Award. Joy started her life with Barchester as a carer and worked her way up to a senior carer, but for the last eight years has been Head of Activities. Joy has many talents, such as knitting, and during her time with activities, has knitted many things, including every decoration - and the angel - on one of the many Christmas trees that we have at The Warren. In fact, she has already started on this year’s knitted project for Christmas and we are only in January!
