Activities at Hall Park Care Home
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!

Life at Hall Park Care Home
Dr Tim Howard discusses book
Residents across our homes had a lovely time joining Dr Tim Howard, 4th generation GP, whose whole life has been about patient care, for an exciting virtual event to discuss his novel ‘Let’s Kill All The Lawyers’.
The novel is a medical fiction thriller that explores the impact of life and death events, mistakes and forgiveness, and the impact of law and justice on the day- to-day lives of ordinary people doing their best in difficult circumstances.
Residents had the chance to ask their own questions once the discussion was over and a great time was had by all.

National Cream Tea
Staff and residents at Hall Park Care Home in Bulwell, Nottingham brewed up a storm for National Cream Tea Day on June 24th by hosting a tea party in the Lounge with live entertainment, a wonderful selection of baked treats and of course, lots of pots of tea.
Refusing to pick a side in the controversial debate of cream before jam for the Cornish tradition or jam before cream as part of the Devonshire tradition, Hall Park Care Home enjoyed homemade scones both ways, all washed down with a fes-tea-val of herbal and classic teas.
Residents and visitors tucked into the sweet and savoury goodies including pies, pastries, cookies and cream cakes, all baked by talented head chef.
A trip down Memory Lane
Residents at memory lane had wonderful reminiscent day, they shared the memories with the staff at Hall Park. Residents also enjoyed the music therapy, aroma and sensory therapy session in our sensory room.
Virtual event with vocal coach

There were smiles and laugher all around. The session was such a success and was great for the mind, body and soul.
