Activities at Hall Park Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.
Our home is always full of life, and we can thank our wonderful Activities Coordinators for this. Dedication to creating a unique and interesting activities programme is what sets us apart from other homes. We always take into consideration that some people would prefer to pursue their own interests, which is why our team strive to incorporative activities that cater to a wide range of tastes and hobbies. Our trips out are always fun and exciting as well, and residents are guaranteed to return with stories to tell their loved ones!

Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies
Life at Hall Park Care Home
Babysitting Duties!
Today some of our residents at Hall Park gave up some of their time to look after our dementia dolls, and they loved every minute of it.
Dementia UK say that ‘caring’ for a doll or soft toy can give people with dementia a renewed sense of purpose and help them connect with the outside world. This can have a positive knock-on effect on their energy, activity levels and mood, and this is definitely how our ladies Elaine and Lilla felt today while holding these dolls!
With a huge smile on her face, Lilla said "I'm happy that my baby is nice and quiet, which must mean the baby likes me and feels safe".
Hall Park's Tribute to Nottingham
Residents and staff at Hall Park would like thank Father Andrew Fisher from Church of St Mary the Virgin and All Souls, Bulwell for coming into the home to do a service and say prayers for the loss of three people who died following an attack in Nottingham on June 13.
Our residents also took part in a minute silence to remember the victims and their families involved.
Residents Mary said it’s such sad times for everyone and it was nice to feel, that having this service, we were showing our respects not only to the victims and families but saying thank you to the emergency services for their bravery and hard work.
Home celebrate Pride month
This June, staff and residents at Hall Park care home in Bulwell, have been creating decorations, festooning their home with rainbows and enjoying the colourful celebrations from around the world. Lots of the festivities from different parts of the UK and from around the world are available to watch online and residents have had a fantastic time experiencing the different parades and carnivals on offer.
Crafting for the Chelsea Flower Show
We really enjoy celebrating the Chelsea Flower Show! This year, our residents had a lovely time creating their own flower arrangements and displays, discussing the many vibrant colours of the flowers and spending time in the our garden.
Some preferred to watch the Chelsea Flower show in the lounge, whilst other enjoyed various arts and crafts sessions. Kitty was so surprised with how beautiful her flower artwork turned out, which herself and Natasha sat making together in the diner, that she just had have a photo with it! She was so proud, and we think you would agree that they both did a great job making artwork that is absolutely fit for the Chelsea Flower Show.
Day at the Fire Station
What a fun afternoon we all had! In honour of International Firefighters Day on 4th May, some of our residents had an amazing time travelling in our minibus all the way to Stockhill Fire Station, where we met some of the lovely team who work there.
We were shown what happens when a call comes into the station, and we were told all about the various suits and uniforms that they wear for different scenarios. We were also given a tour around the fire station and got to see all the tricks of the fire truck!
We all had a fantastic time and would like to say a big thank you to everyone at Stockhill Fire Station - we really appreciate everyone taking the time out of their busy day for us.
Coronation Celebrations
Excitement is in the air at Hall Park Care Home in Bulwell where residents and staff have been celebrating the Coronation and ‘The Big Help Out’ that was celebrated across the country on May 8.
Staff and residents at the home put their heads together and came up with a plan for their celebrations fit for a King. Over the bank holiday weekend the home held their version of The Big Coronation Lunch, with an official coronation of their own for residents Danny and Lorna, and a royal visit from Bulwell Community Toy Library. Toy Library, along with children aged 0-4 years and their parents, completed a mini royal parade around Bulwell dressed in their crowns and royal themed outfits, finishing their walk at Hall Park for stories, songs and rhymes with residents.
