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
Fun-filled week....
Our resident at Hall Park had a fun pack week last week, Monday and Tuesday we had a visit from Creative Paths where we discussed the Queen’s 70 years of reign and tried on hats from different eras which the residents fully enjoyed and we had an arts and crafts session creating art work which will be printed on a cloak for the Queens Jubilee.
Also, we got our bodies moving with our weekly Oomph live dance session, followed by an Oomph activity learning about the life of Nelson Mandela and reminiscing about the year he became president of South Africa in 1994

Book corner with Henry Slator
We had a lovely time joining Henry Slator for an exciting virtual event to discuss his book ‘Conversations at the Pond’.
Henry had an unusual writing journey, which many of our residents found inspiring, he underwent chemotherapy in early 2020, which allowed him to rediscover his light-hearted outlook on life by imagining conversations with creatures in and around his large garden pond and adding buckets of fun.
The entertaining Conversations at the Pond, with its mass of colourful illustrations, took our residents along his journey, they felt inspired, cheered and loved hearing all about Henry’s experiences.
