Activities at Hethersett Hall Care Home
Activities, hobbies and interests make up the most important part of our days and who we are as people. We provide a varied activities programme that reflects the interests and capabilities of all the individuals we support. All of the group and individual activities are designed to not only mentally and physically stimulate the people we care for, but to enhance their life skills and feelings of purpose and self-worth. We achieve this through a constantly updated activities programme and one-to-one sessions with residents that are tailored to suit individuals needs. We also offer a range of outings in our mini-bus.
Caroline Evans
Hi, I’m Caroline Evans and I’ve been at Hethersett Hall for 7 years now and been in the care sector for 13 years and believed it was time for a change in my career at Barchester.
I’m extremely motivated for my new role as activities coordinator. I hope I will bring joy and fun to everyone’s daily lives. I am a highly active and bubbly person. Looking after other people has always been my priority and I will do my best every day to make sure everyone is happy, safe and smiling.
I look forward to meeting you and hope you will all join in the events and activities that I will bring to Hethersett Hall.

Life at Hethersett Hall Care Home
102 heres looking at you!
One of our residents turned the grand age of 102 recently. What an incredible achievement!
The things they have seen in the last 100 years, living through the war, the coronation of our dear late Queen, changing of currency and so many other things.
Speaking to Betty I asked her what has been her favourite decade, to which she replied “ Oh my dear, your going back years, they all hold fond memories for me”
Betty celebrated in style with a pamper session by our Beauty Therapist Emily Collins, time spent with family and of course this fabulous cake!
Garden Centre Greatness
Activities within our home are great but its always nice to get out of the house occasionally, minibus trips provide a way for our residents to get a change of scenery and boost wellbeing.
We recently took a trip to Wymondham Garden centre where we had a mooch round and found some great seasonal plants and flowers, even finding one of the GO GO Dinos lurking near the greenhouses.
After a good look round it was time for a well deserved cup of tea and a homemade cake. Lovely!
Pamper Perfection
Valentines themed pamper sessions with our resident beauty therapist Emily Collins was a big hit this week.
The residents loved choosing the colour for their nails, followed by a hand massage to finish the session. The wonderful smell of the handcreams was amazing!
Some residents opted for a facial which was so relaxing and one of our ladies Betty said “It feels so refreshing”. We can’t wait for Emily to come back soon!
Friendly Fridays with Friend in Deed
We work closely with Friend in Deed, they provide an invaluable service to carehomes by encouraging parents and their little ones to come into homes and meet our residents. The intergenerational friendships formed with our residents and little ones is absolute gold and some little ones that have been coming for a few years who are now a little older still come and visit.
The happiness children bring to our older generation is so special, it gives you a warm feeling inside to see the smiles on our residents faces.
It's Panto Time!
Our residents were thrilled to attend the Hethersett Pantomime recently, they loved the bright costumes, the wonderful set and especially singing a long with the music.
The panto has been going since 1970 and was started by Duncan Pygg who was a resident with us at the hall not so long ago.
Margaret said” It isn’t just the performers but the ones behind it all too that work hard”, yes totally agree Margaret, a wonderful performance by amazing people, well done all!
Alpaca’s paid a visit
Hethersett Hall care home, in Hethersett, was full of Christmas fun and animal mischief on Wednesday when a group of alpacas came to visit the home.
Residents at Hethersett Hall were pleasantly surprised to see their new furry friends roaming around their home as Wymondham Alpaca’s paid a visit.
