Activites at Hall Park Care Home

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

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!

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.

Residents on Memory Lane had a hoot, taking part in the RSPB bird watch scheme. 

We made bird feeders with peanut butter and bird seeds. Which got a little messy but we all had fun taking part.

Then we did a spot of bird watching to add to our RSPB bird watch count.

Our staff and residents celebrated National Hug Day by throwing their arms around each other and giving them a big squeeze.

The idea of National Hug Day is to encourage everyone to hug family and friends more often. Also, the psychological benefits of hugging are said to improve mental health.

Yesterday, we brightened up winter by celebrating International Flower Day. 

We had a great time with activities like flower arranging and discussing our favourite flowers and how to care for them.

We were amazed by everyone's knowledge of flowers, gained from years of gardening experience.
It was a lovely day that everyone enjoyed. Also, our residents on Memory Lane had fun baking some fairy cakes - which were yummy!

At Hall Park we believe every person should be treated as an individual, with personal care provided in the very best surroundings.

That’s why our home’s recent refurbishment has been designed with our residents' comfort, well-being and happiness in mind.

On Memory Lane, our residents enjoyed cooking and baking. So, our new stylish dining room has been fitted with an oven, which our residents love to take advantage of and this week, we put our hands to making some fancy pizzas.

Resident Mary challenged us to do an Irish clover shaped pizza and our Senior Manager Kelly requested a love heart.

Resident Doreen had the job of doing the washing up after all that baking, which she enjoyed doing.

I’m sure you’ll agree by looking at our photos that our ladies did a great job. 

Our residents and staff were delighted to have the children from Bulwell Academy School come into the home to sing Christmas carols with them. 

The children sang beautifully and some children were brave enough to sing solo, like pupil Zane who sang ‘This Town' and Matthew, who sang ‘Snowman’.

Our residents were so happy to see the children perform so well and to see all them support each other too.

Thank you to Bulwell Academy for all your support and we wish you all a merry Christmas and we are looking forward to seeing you in the new year!

Our residents were so happy to welcome back ‘Bulwell Community Choir’, who have brought their brilliant performance to the home for a number of years now. 

All our residents love to hear them sing and joining in with singing Christmas choirs too. 

They really do bring the Christmas spirit into the home and everyone at Hall Park appreciates your visits.

Thank you and Merry Christmas from everyone at Hall Park care home!
