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

Activities Coordinator

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.

EGG-tremely creative artwork!

Over the Easter weekend, we had a morning of painting Easter eggs of different shapes and sizes, cute little chicks and beautiful butterflies as part of our Easter display. Residents enjoyed engaging in conversation whilst taking part and they felt very proud of the colourful picture which we hung on the wall for everyone to enjoy!

In the afternoon everyone enjoyed a pleasant walk around the garden hunting for Easter eggs which went down lovely with a cup of tea!

Easter Activities and beautiful weather!

Easter has been a little different this year but our lovely staff and residents have been in good spirits! Residents were keeping busy decorating our Easter tree whilst enjoying the sunshine in the courtyard. Great work everyone!

The Purrrrr-fect companion!

Our residents of Memory Lane thoroughly enjoy the company of robotic cats. They love cuddles which brings our residents lots of smiles and great comfort.

Our Seeds are growing!

Last week we received a lovely treat of cress and grass seeds from Friend in Deed. Our resident Terry who loves gardening has been busy looking after them in his green house. They’ve already started to grow, we look forward to having some delicious egg and cress sandwiches!

Virtual Yoga

Our residents love taking part in Yoga with Bella every Wednesday but due to recent events we have had to find other ways of keeping fit. Bella kindly offered to record a video for us so residents could continue their weekly routine through “virtual yoga” to promote a happy and healthy well-being! Bella’s dogs Christa and Monty like to visit too showing off their yoga stretches - even Mitsy; Bella’s cat joined in!

Letters of Kindness

We have been overwhelmed with “letters of kindness” which we have received from Friend in Deed and other friends from the local community. Residents have been busy sending replies this week to show our appreciation and that we are sending love to our friends within the community too. Staff and residents can see a display of letters, cards and pictures received on a board in our reception as a reminder of great community spirit and to “keep smiling through”.
