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
Home celebrate Year of the Dragon
Staff and residents at Barchester Hall Park Care Home in Bulwell, welcomed in the Year of the Dragon with a day of celebrations and activities.
Inspired by Chinese culture and traditions, lucky red envelopes were exchanged and the home was decorated with hanging red lanterns and paper dragons made with cut out of our resident’s hand. Residents learnt all about the traditions and superstitions of Chinese New Year. Head chef Charmaine Halladay cooked up an oriental feast for our residents to sample
Burns celebrations
Barchester Hall Park care home in Bulwell prepared a traditional Burns Night Supper to the tune of bagpipes and the fun continued well into the night.
Staff and residents at the home were involved in a number of activities learning the art of Scottish Country Dancing to mark the Scottish institution, including giving the time-honoured address to the ‘Great chieftain O’ the pudding race’ – the haggis.
General Manager, Jodie Rakhra, at Hall Park, thought it was a perfect occasion to celebrate an evening steeped in age-old tradition as well as getting in a spot of Scotch whisky tasting and reading a selection of Burns’ poems.
International Flower Day
Residents at Barchester Hall Park Care Home in Bulwell celebrated International Flower Day which took place on January 19th.
International Flower Day promotes the psychological boost that flowers can give to people. From growing and nurturing plants and flowers, to gifting flowers to show love and appreciation, and sometimes just the simple act of admiring their beauty – flowers have the power to make someone’s day.
Residents Hall Park celebrated Brew Monday AKA Blue Morning!
The third Monday in January is sometimes referred to as ‘the most difficult day of the year’ but this is a myth
We had a session where we sampled different fruit and herbal teas, while having a catch up with a brew to make it a little less blue and talked about the benefits of drinking these tea and about life living at Hall Park
This session went well and everyone gave a good input in our conversations
Although some of the tea was difficult to swallow as they wasn’t quite to our residents taste
Everyone had fun watching each other faces when they drank the tea they didn’t like
Our residents favourite game of weekly carpet boules
Our residents at Hall Park love to get together for their weekly game of carpet boules, where the competition is fierce and everyone wants to be a winner!
This fun game not only uplifts our resident’s spirits but it also includes physical movement which aids their well-being, improves fitness, coordination, confidence and help to build on friendships
Happy birthday Elvis
Our home was transformed into Graceland to mark what would have been Elvis Presley’s birthday today.
It is estimated that Elvis has sold over one billion records worldwide so to honour the undisputed King of Rock & Roll, we all enjoyed a fantastic day of music, fun and dancing.
Our residents had so much fun dancing and singing to Elvis songs and found out some interesting facts about Elvis that they haven’t heard before, watched a short biography about the famous singer and actor and listened to some of Elvis’s hits which got some of our residents up dancing
