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
Anyone for Golf?
Our residents love a bit of friendly competition! Earlier this month they took turns having a go at our indoor gold game. There was certainly some exceptional hole in ones being scored! As a result of this activity our residents were able to exercise their motor skills, as well as, feeling a sense of accomplishment essential for their well-being.
Roarsome Dino at Hethersett Hall
Earlier this month residents enjoyed designing and painting their section of our Go Dino, before he roars off to his next care home to have the last part of him painted.
Mr Dino then heads back to the charity Break where he will be a part of the great North Norfolk Dino Hunt, so if your out and about in North Norfolk this summer keep an eye out for our very own Barchester one!
Valentine's Day Fun
Our residents enjoyed taking part in some Valentine's day art fun, especially seeing the end result. They loved our little Valentine's teddies with their special Valentine's Day messages.
To finish the day off we had a live streamed Zoom performance from Deano which topped off what had been an excellent Valentine's celebration for our well-deserving residents.
Santa arrives at Hethersett Hall!
On Christmas Day we had a very special visit from our very own Father Christmas who visited all the residents in their rooms delivering presents. It was such a special moment when residents faces lit up as they were handed their gift from Santa and Rudolph. Residents and staff gathered before lunch to raise a glass. We all had a relaxing afternoon opening presents, watching the classic film “White Christmas” followed by the Queens Speech. A huge thank you to all our wonderful staff for making Christmas Day so special.
Festivities at Hethersett Hall!
Throughout the month of December residents took part in many activities such as Christmas Carols, live entertainment from Johnny Cleaveland for our party, a Christmas Market, scavenger hunt, a trip to watch Thursfords Christmas Spectacular and even a special visit from Alpacas!
It was wonderful to see lots of smiling faces and residents enjoying themselves. Residents and staff had a lovely time browsing many of our stalls at the Christmas Market and treating their loved ones to presents. We had a great selection of stalls including Avon, Ketts Bookshop, Hurley Burley Jewellery, Angelas Cards, Wax Melts/Candles and many other craft stalls. Thank you to everyone involved!
Christmas Decorations at Hethersett Hall
Our home was beautifully decorated throughout the month of December to celebrate Christmas, with our lovely residents helping decorate too! We had several Christmas Trees throughout the home and in the gardens.
Our Head of Housekeeping decorated our reception to include a snowman made of plastic cups and a sleigh made from a mobility scooter! Activities staff spent time taking photos of residents which were made into Christmas cards for residents to sign and send to their families.
