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
Owl Visit The Warren
We met 6 beautiful owls and their owner and we all got to either hold them, stroke them or just be in awe of their beauty. Such stunning creatures.

Happy 98th Birthday to our Darling Betty. I hope you had the most amazing day with your daughter and nieces in our private dining room . Our wonderful Chef Kevin made the most delicious cake to help with the celebrations.

Mini Donks Visit
Residents and staff had the most wonderful visit from The Mini Donks yesterday. It was delightful to see the joy on the residents' faces. Sarah McPherson, the owner, from Hempnall in south Norfolk, has been named as a finalist in this year’s GoCardless Just Giving Awards, after setting up a Crowdfunding page for the group Miniature Donkeys for Wellbeing, also known as Minidonks, which she founded in memory of her late mum, Pat.
Alpacas come too visit!!!
Lollies, lovely weather and Alpacas.... what a wonderful day we had with our old friends from Bumblebarn and a trio of Alpacas.
The residents loved them as per usual...we all fed them carrots, all loved a stroke and just enjoyed being outside. We had a cheeky one too, trying to steal ice lollies or eat our trees.
Morning Worship
Lovely start to the day with morning worship with Dean and Tim Sprowston Parish Churches. Was lovely meeting Tim too the residents loved sitting down and having a chit chat. The hymns was accompanied by a residents who used to be a Piano Teacher so she played along while we sung. We got the Organ in on loan for her to play while she has a short stay with us.
