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!

The life enrichment and daily activities program aims to provide stimulation for the mind, body and soul by engaging with residents daily.

Life at Hall Park Care Home
National Art in Care Homes Week
We have had a busy week so far at Hall Park creating some beautiful at artwork for National Art in Care Homes week. We've done things such as geometric painting which our residents enjoyed doing, and on Memory Lane we had a reminiscing music session where we danced like no one was looking and shared memories about our favourite songs!
Today we made a start of making our outfit made from recycled materials found around the home and we will have the great reveal of our super work in a fashion show! Watch this space...
Mexican Independence Day
Hall Park residents and staff enjoyed celebrating Mexican Independence Day this week!
Our residents watched a lovely video filled with fun facts about Mexico and we all tasted delicious Mexican cocktails and had fun playing the Mexican traditional game of smashing the piñata.
It’s was a lovely day, enjoyed by all.
Roald Dahl
We had a great time celebrating the British novelist, short-story writer, poet, screenwriter and wartime fighter pilot Roald Dahl. During the day, our residents got involved in a variety of fun-filled activities, including enjoying an intergenerational session with children from Rocking Horse Nursery in Bulwell.
We all had fun sitting together while doing Charlie and the Chocolate Factory arts and craft and the resident adored watching the children go on a hunt following the classic golden tickets to find treats of chocolates and pencils to take home with them. Residents also liked reading and discussing their favourite Roald Dahl book and reading his poetry: Revolting Rhymes, Dirty Beasts or Rhyme.
Games and laughter
Our home was full of fun and laughter with a game of balloon tennis. Which was requested by resident Lorna, who said she really enjoys the playing the game as it’s a fun way to get some exercise.
We had lots of giggles as we tried passing the balloon to each using our hands, feet and even our heads.
Once we tired ourselves with the game, we sat with a nice cold drink reminiscing about growing up in Bulwell and Hucknall
Made with Love
It's Housekeeping Week from 3rd - 9th September, so our residents had a busy morning making thank you cards for our housekeeping team to show their appreciation for everything they do!
Our ladies really enjoy having a good natter while having our arts and crafts sessions, as it's something they all love to do and what better to do than to do it together? We all had a wonderful time.
Dominoes Tournament
At Hall Park, our residents love dominoes so we decided to contact other local care homes in the area and set up a tournament! What could be better than lots of residents making friends in the area over a good game of dominoes?
Our Activities Assistant Gareth hosted our first round this week with Fairway View Care Home who kindly came to visit us with some of their residents, all raring to go ready for a game!
A wonderful time was had by all, with an overall victory for Hall Park! Let's see who wins the next round...
