Activities at Hall Park Care Home

Thank you to "Lollipop Pony Parties" for a fantastic morning visit.  Your lovely ponies Lollipop and Moomin were a huge hit with everyone and brought us all so much joy.

All the staff and residents fully enjoyed spending time with them, do come back soon to see us again

Residents at Hall Park enjoyed a mini  bus trip out for a pub lunch at the local Pub. 

We enjoyed a smooth run out for a delicious meal together, everyone said they loved being back in the pub and being able to enjoy the warm weather in the beer garden was an added bonus!

Residents and staff at Hall Park care home, in Bulwel, Nottingham laced up their trainers and warmed-up for their annual sports day. 

Staff and residents took to their marks in the egg and spoon, wheelbarrow and three-legged races as guests cheered on. The teams battled it out to be crowned sporting champions by home manager before being treated to a winner’s buffet of fresh sandwiches, home-made carrot cake and Prims.

General Manager Jodie Rakhra said: “We always encourage our residents to keep active. With summer on the way we had a great opportunity to move our activities outside to make the most of the weather. Our residents and their guest really enjoyed today and it was lovely to see so many of them getting involved. It reminded all of us of when we were kids at school!”

Our homes had a brilliant time with curator Sarah Deters as she took us on a virtual ‘Music Through the Ages’ tour of St Cecilia’s Hall: Concert Room and Music Museum.

Our residents were thrilled to discover weird and wonderful musical instruments, hear their unusual sounds, and find out how instruments have changed over the last 500 years.

The virtual live event explored the world-renown collection of musical instruments on display at St Cecilia’s Hall, Scotland’s oldest concert hall.

Staff and residents at Hall Park care Home got the flags out and celebrated 75th Indian Independence Day in style by hosting a ranch inspired party Indian traditional dancing and Indian food on 15th August 2022.

Many residents have visited India and some have family living there so Indian Independence Day was a great excuse to reminisce about previous trips and go on virtual tours to favourite places such as New Delhi, Kolkata etc. Residents enjoyed movies from the Bollywood as well as dancing to playlists including Bollywood songs. Our home was decorated with themed flags and bunting and we all enjoyed watching Indian cultural ceremonies.

Head Chef enjoyed cooking up chicken curry, tandoori vegan kebabs, Stuffed paratha and traditional snacks and sweets. Jodie Rakhra General Manager at Hall Park Care Home said: “Independence Day is always full of big flavours and a chance for us to celebrate all things Indian.

For the first time since the pandemic, the home threw open its doors and invited in the local community for a fantastic day of summer celebrations with a multi-cultural flavour. There were kid’s games, activities, raffles and prizes for everyone to enjoy. Head chef and king of the grill Jamie Wallis was in charge of the barbecue where there were sizzling burgers, sausages, hot dogs, chicken drum sticks and much more  all washed down with cold of drinks, ice creams, desserts. Mayor of Nottingham, Councillor Wendy Smith commented: “What a brilliant event, it has been such an enjoyable day – I am so grateful to all the staff and residents at Hall Park for inviting me along today. I have really enjoyed getting to know everyone here and meeting so many different community groups, it is a beautiful home and I’m so pleased I was able to come along.”
