Activities at Hall Park Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.
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!

A flipping good Pancake Day!
Our residents at Hall Park enjoyed watching activities assistant Gareth making pancakes and they had a go at flipping and tossing them too, which was so much fun.
Our residents reminisced about how they loved making pancakes with their family and how some of the pancakes would end up on the floor and even on the ceiling.

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.
