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!

Life at Hall Park Care Home
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
Residents join virtual event
Staff and residents at Barchester Hall Park Care Home in Bulwell were treated to an insightful talk about Medical Detection Dogs hosted by Emilia Dowse who works as a Regional Volunteer and Fundraising Coordinator for the charity.
Medical Detection Dogs train dogs to detect the odour of illnesses with the aim of developing faster, more efficient and less invasive treatments for patients. The charity is at the forefront of research into the fight against cancer and other life-threatening diseases, including Parkinson’s disease and bacterial infections. Their Bio Detection Dogs are trained to find odours in samples such as breath and sweat whereas their Medical Alert Dogs are trained to assist people managing complex, life-threatening conditions including Type 1 diabetes, POTS and severe allergies, by alerting them to an oncoming medical emergency. The work of all these dogs has the potential to benefit millions of people.
Bulwell Riverside Community Choir
Hall Park residents, staff and family members had an amazing time singing along to some festive songs with Bulwell Riverside Community Choir.
Resident Lorna said that she loved hearing the choir sing and together they all sang so beautifully.
