Activities at Hethersett Hall Care Home

National celebrations and family-friendly events are just some of the ways that we ensure the residents at Hethersett Hall remain connected with their loved ones and the wider community. 

Our Halloween party focused on fantastic fancy dress and live entertainment which catered for all ages. The BOOO Lagoon cocktails and sumptuous Halloween snacks prepared by our chef went down a trick or treat.

Our Activities Team is dedicated to ensuring that we organise events that encourage our residents to host their families and friends at Hethersett Hall. Our home is always to open to loved ones who wish to take part in our life enrichment program. 

Residents at Hethersett Hall love all the animal therapy sessions that our dedicated Activities Team organise as part of our monthly activities program. As one of the foundations of our Life Enrichment program, we know that animal therapy can help reduce blood pressure and improve overall cardiovascular health. 

Merrylegs Ponies visited our residents at the Home last week and even provided some personal room service. The ponies were so well behaved and their visit opened up stories and brought back many fun memories for our residents.

Animal therapy is one of the cornerstones of our life enrichment program and features regularly on our resident-led weekly activity planner.

At Hethersett Hall we know that being able to continue lifelong hobbies or interests is a key part of our resident's identities, and we make every effort to encourage and support each resident to be able to do so.

The weekly art club has become so popular with our residents and the quality of the artwork is amazing and we encourage them to share and teach others about this too.

Regular trips to local attractions and other excursions are important parts of our life enrichment program and feature often on our resident-led activity planners. 

Our residents enjoyed a nostalgic trip on a vintage red bus which picked them up from Hethersett Methodist Church and took the scenic route to Thetford garden centre. Everyone enjoyed a lovely lunch, tea and cake together. On the way home all joined in for a sing along.

This sort of activity is made possible through our links with our local community partners and is essential to help us deliver our life enrichment program. We would like to thank the our local Methodist friends for inviting us to come along for the day. 

Supporting residents to enjoy outings, shopping, meals out and other trips is a key aspect of the weekly activities calendar. 

This week some of our residents decided they would like to update their wardrobes and fancied some Retail Therapy. We enjoyed a busy afternoon visiting the City of Norwich, including Chapelfield Shopping Centre. Whilst visiting the array of shops available who couldn't resist a cappuccino? Then onto more shopping, choosing cards for loved ones and getting ready for autumn with some comfy warm slippers.

Ensuring our residents continue to feel independent and enjoy doing they things that they love is always a feature of our life enrichment programme.
