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
Happy 102nd Birthday Annie!
Staff and residents at Hall Park would like to wish our special lady, Annie a big happy 102 birthday! Annie was born in 1921 and has lived with us since 2017. She is such an integral part of our family now, we all loved celebrating her!
Annie celebrated her day with friends and family enjoying not just one birthday cake of course, but two! Including a beautiful chocolate cake made by our Chef, Charmaine. A wonderful day was had by everyone, reading Annie's cards and spending her special day with her.
A huge thank you to all our team for going the extra mile to make Annie’s day extra special.
Rum Punch!
Our residents celebrated and learnt all about the Windrush era recently, by watching a documentary about the arrival of the Empire Windrush in Tilbury Docks, Essex, on 22 June 1948. The ship carried 1027 Caribbean people who had come to the UK to help rebuild the country after the Second World War.
After watching the documentary, they enjoyed a game of dominoes which is popular in Jamaica and all relished in a rum punch made with Jamaican white rum.
Even our General Manager Jodie got involved, and played her first game of dominoes which she won. A great day was had by all!
Eyes Down for National Bingo Day
Our staff and residents celebrated National Bingo Day with a bingo game marathon, where some brilliant prizes were won which put big smiles on our winners faces!
Our resident ambassador Susan had the official title of 'Bingo Caller' for the day, she called out the numbers and did a fantastic job.
Bingo as a game is a national treasure and said to be one of the most popular hobbies in the UK, which we love to embrace.
Everyone at Hall Park would like to thank Georgina at Morrisons Bulwell and Bulwell Hall Golf Course for their kind donations of prizes.
Armchair Fitness
Our residents at Hall Park enjoyed a fun-packed morning with Ross from King Fitness.
They enjoyed moving their bodies to chair based exercise and competitive ball games, and Ross made sure 'competitive' was the key word! One thing about our residents is, they all love to win and take part in a good challenge. We look forward to doing this again and crowning our next winner. May the best person win!
Big Friendly Lunch at Community Garden
What a fun day! Our residents had an amazing time travelling in our minibus to Bulwell Forest Garden, which is a community garden run by volunteers. We joined their Big Friendly Lunch Club, where our residents took part in harvesting, prepping, and enjoying a delicious seasonal meal made with fresh picked produce from the garden.
Everyone had a fantastic time, we ate pasta cooked in tomato and seasonal vegetable sauce with salad, followed by gooseberry, rhubarb and yoghurt made with all the products from the garden. Delicious!
After our meal resident ambassador, Susan helped to wash the pots, as she said ‘this was her way to thank everyone for allowing the home to come to visit and she can’t wait return for another visit'!
Babysitting Duties!
Today some of our residents at Hall Park gave up some of their time to look after our dementia dolls, and they loved every minute of it.
Dementia UK say that ‘caring’ for a doll or soft toy can give people with dementia a renewed sense of purpose and help them connect with the outside world. This can have a positive knock-on effect on their energy, activity levels and mood, and this is definitely how our ladies Elaine and Lilla felt today while holding these dolls!
With a huge smile on her face, Lilla said "I'm happy that my baby is nice and quiet, which must mean the baby likes me and feels safe".
