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
Circus Extravaganza!
When COVID-19 reared its ugly head last year, our plans for a circus themed fete were dashed, but as this year rolled round and restrictions were lifted, our disappointment turned to joy when we learned we could start planning for the summer fete again!
What a day it was on Saturday 18th September. The weather was spectacular, the turnout was amazing and it was lovely to see pockets of residents with their family and friends smiling and enjoying themselves.
We had circus-themed games like bottle toss and coconut shy to name a few, BBQ, magic and circus shows, including juggling and unicycle riding.
A huge thank you to everyone involved, can’t wait for the next event!
Queen of the Broads
On Friday 24th September, we were delighted to see the sun shining through, as we set off to Wroxham for a lovely tour on the Broads.
Residents from Memory Lane and Main Hall were thrilled to see lots of wildlife along the river bank. After the tour, all 20 residents and staff tucked into some delicious fish and chips from one of Wroxham's finest takeaways. It was a very special day for us all, and a great end to the summer.
Thank you to our amazing team for making it happen!
Armchair Zoo
Chris from Zoolab arrived at our home with all sorts of animals, including a baby rat, a corn snake called Casper and a breed of gecko, which is the biggest in the world, to name just a few.
Our residents took the bull by the horns, for want of a better word, and handled pretty much everything! It was a fantastic sensory experience overall!
Olympic Gold
During the last week of the Olympics we thought our residents might like to add to the UKs medal tally by hosting our own summer games. Our lovely residents got gold across the board in darts, French bowls and volleyball!
Infectious Smiles
Residents enjoyed a drama session with local teacher, Juli. Throughout the session, residents were given the chance to share stories and things that make them smile.
Juli baked some fresh cookies as a tool to reminisce about favourite scents from childhood and gave residents individual packets of biscuits as a special treat!
The session ended with Juli reading a special poem by Spike Milligan about the importance of smiling.
It was so lovely to see residents reminiscing but above all: smiling.
Triple Century Celebrations
Celebrations have been in full swing at Hethersett Hall, as three of its residents reached their centenary in the same month.
The home liaised with residents’ families to arrange individual surprise birthday parties in the garden. All residents were joined by staff, relatives and friends as they received a telegram from the Queen in recognition of their landmark birthday. Guests and residents enjoyed a personalised birthday celebration whilst soaking up the sun.
