Activities at Hall Park Care Home

We had an absolutely fang-tastic time celebrating Halloween! Our residents were treated to a wonderful performance from an amazing father and daughter singing duo, who filled the home with fabulous Halloween-themed songs and plenty of smiles. 

Everyone joined in with dancing, singing, and enjoying the festive spirit — it was lovely to see so many happy faces!

A huge thank you to our talented guests for bringing so much joy to the home, and to our residents for making the day extra special.  

Happy Halloween from all of us at Hall Park Care Home.      

We gathered together with our wonderful residents and their families for a cosy community Bonfire Night celebration. The sky lit up with colourful fireworks, sparklers sparkled in happy hands, and there were plenty of smiles and laughter all around.

It was truly special to see residents, loved ones, staff, and our wider community enjoying the evening together. Moments like these remind us how important connection and togetherness really are. Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the night so memorable!

A big thank you to Jameson Marshall for the kind donation of the sparklers — our residents, children, family members, and visitors really enjoyed them, and they added a wonderful touch to our Bonfire Night celebrations! 

We also would like to say a huge thank you to our maintenance men Wayne and Jamie, for the beautiful fireworks display held within our garden.   

We celebrated International Cat Day to raise awareness for cats and learn about ways to help and protect them.

In recognition of the day, we spent time cuddling some beautiful, soft, 8-week-old kittens brought in by family member, Kirsty.

Our residents loved the chance to be able to meet and play with the friendly kittens and enjoyed talking about their own pets that they've had themselves. 

Everyone enjoys a game of bingo, where our residents like to show just how they all work together and support one another.
In our games, resident ambassador Susan, loves calling numbers. 

Some of our residents supported each other to play, and they even worked together to clear up after.     

Staff Hannah and Gareth took our residents Dave, Dudley and Roger to the local Ladbrokes to put the bets on for the Grand National for the whole home and then to the pub for a cheeky drink.

Dave, Dudley and Roger couldn't thank us enough they had such a great time and love spending time together as friends. 

They loved going to The Royal Oak in Bulwell and sitting outside because they like to watch people. While out residents really enjoyed talking to the local police officer about the community and her job

We at Hall Park care home had the absolute honour of celebrating our lovely Winnie’s 105th birthday!  

It was a truly heart-warming day filled with love, laughter, and community spirit. Children from our wonderful local schools came to visit, bringing beautifully handmade cards and thoughtful presents just for Winnie. Their smiles and kindness meant the world to her.    

We were also delighted to welcome members of the community, who joined us in making this milestone extra special. Your presence helped fill the home with joy and warmth. Winnie spent the day surrounded by those who love her most. Her devoted daughter, Hillier, was by her side all day, and other family members came along throughout the day with cards, gifts, and plenty of birthday wishes.  

Winnie had a fantastic day, and we are so grateful to everyone who helped make her 105th birthday unforgettable. Here’s to a remarkable woman and a remarkable celebration! Happy 105th Birthday, Winnie!      

We have an absolute ball (literally!) keeping our residents active and smiling! From singing, balloon tennis to hilarious ball games, the laughter was contagious. One of the biggest hits is our Velcro bat and ball - the surprise when it sticks gets them every time!

We also welcomed back our favourite lady Ann from Motivation & Co. for her monthly visit! Her sessions are always packed with singing, games, and quizzes - our residents (and staff!) can't get enough. What a fun and fabulous way to keep both minds and bodies active!

In the morning we took residents to Stonebridge city farm from ground floor where residents got to feed the animals and have a look around at all the facilities they have. A wonderful lady called Arooj was so polite and helpful with residents and spoke to them. 

The residents had such a fantastic time they want to go again when we go there.

Our residents enjoy a relaxing creative session. So taking the time to pick some flowers from our garden to make some sun catchers to hang in our rooms and from the trees outside. 

Our residents really had a good time with the support of our staff in making their sun catchers. Just like resident Maureen, who was so proud of her Notts Forest sun catcher.   

In honour of Mother’s Day, our ladies at Hall Park had a lovely relaxing afternoon flower arranging with a glass of wine.

After each activity, residents Mary, Brenda and Ann always help to clean up. Which activities team are so grateful for.

I’m sure you will agree that everyone did a fantastic job with their flowers!

We marked International Men’s Day with a relaxing pamper session for our gentlemen on Memory Lane — complete with soothing foot massages that everyone really enjoyed. The celebrations continued as the men rolled up their sleeves and got creative in the kitchen, making their own homemade pizzas for tea!   The smiles said it all.

Our gentlemen on the ground floor didn’t miss out either — they asked for a pamper of their own, so our wonderful Activities Coordinator spent time doing the men’s nails and offering individual room visits for a friendly chat.  

A lovely couple of days celebrating the men in our community and making sure everyone felt relaxed, included, and appreciated.     

Our residents at Hall Park enjoyed one of their favourite activities-sipping on delicious rum cocktails in honour of National Rum Day!

A perfect blend of fun, flavour, and good company. Cheers to a great time!

Our residents love to sing their hearts out in our music sessions. So when we got a karaoke mic, everyone was so excited to have a go.

Just like resident Keith, who sang his favourite Elvis Presley song ‘Burning Love' and resident Mary fully enjoying an Irish favourite O Danny Boy. 

Once we got started, there was no stopping them. All our residents enjoyed singing and dancing, which continued into the dining room while we waited for our dinner.    

We are absolutely thrilled to share that Hall Park care home has received an OUTSTANDING rating across all categories, following a recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission.

This remarkable achievement reflects the commitment and effort of our entire team, who work tirelessly every day to deliver the highest quality of care for our residents. 

A massive well done to everyone at Hall Park, you all should be so proud of yourselves.   

All residents had taken a bet on the grand national and enjoyed watching with anticipation and excitement to see if they were a winner.

There was only one winner who picked the winning horse, WELL DONE DAVE.

Thank you to every single resident that took part in the event.
