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.

Queen’s 90th Birthday Party at The Warren
On Friday 10th June 2016, here at The Warren, we celebrated the Queen’s 90th birthday with a party lasting from 4pm until 7.30pm. Everyone had a wonderful time with a great sing-a long and entertainment coming from Giovanni. We had an assortment of sandwiches, nibbles, cakes in the shape of hats, trifles and cupcakes, not to mention an amazing fruit cake that was made, iced and decorated by our Head of Activities, Joy.
The evening finished with a raffle of prizes ranging from a bottle of fizz to bubble bath.
Elvis Evening
Another enjoyable evening was had by us all at The Warren on Friday 20th May, when we were visited by our regular entertainer, Elvis, with his rock & roll performance.
Kelling & Sheringham Trip
One of our trips this year was to Kelling Tearooms, which was followed by a stop off at Sheringham for tea and cake.
Our Little Furry Friends
Here at The Warren, we have had the opportunity to hatch out some ducklings to the delight of the residents. For this, we are very grateful to our home manager, Barbara Ellis.
VE Day at The Warren
Friday 6th May saw The Warren celebrate VE Day. The proceedings started at 2:00pm, with a lot of the staff dressing up in the period's clothing style. The arrival of the military vehicles and a civilian car (a Wolesley 6/80 in gleaming black), in addition to Giovanni, marked the beginning of the afternoon's entertainment. Giovanni played the accordion, and everyone was singing the songs of the forties, with a little help from song sheets for those who were a bit too young to remember them. This was all followed by tea and spam sandwiches. The home was decorated in red, white and blue, as would be expected.
We had an assortment of clothes, from the Land Army uniform to an R.A.F. pilot's outfit, as well as civilian, American Forces and even a queen costume.
One of the residents wore her medals for the occasion - and was very proud to do so (so she should be).
