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
Oh Such Fun!
On Saturday 7th of March, like every Saturday, our residents thoroughly enjoy playing Bingo. This is a great chance for everyone to get together to socialise and enjoy a fun game of Bingo - not forgetting the chance to win some prizes! Little Visitors from Friend in Deed also pop along some Saturdays to join in the fun!
In the afternoon we were invited to a “Community Celebration” at Hellesdon Community Centre in Norwich which we took four of our residents to. We were treated to a scrumptious buffet with an array of different snacks. After lunch we shared laughter with entertainment from "Mr Sam the Magic Man". Our residents had a great time interacting with others from the community and creating more friendships with parents and children from Friend in Deed
Place Your Bets!
On Friday the 28th of February we hosted a fun Casino night for residents, relatives and friends from the local community. We were treated to a lovely buffet prepared by our chef Donna and we had some great cocktails available; alcoholic and non-alcoholic!
We had professional blackjack and roulette tables which brought everyone great entertainment throughout the evening, competing for some great prizes! We planned this event to raise funds towards our outdoor gym, which we hope will be beneficial to our residents and the local community and surrounding areas.
The evening was a great success and we would like to thank everyone who donated and attended.
Lots of Love at Hethersett Hall
Residents and staff celebrated Valentine's Day by enjoying French-themed foods for lunch which our chef had prepared for us. Activities staff also marked the occasion by decorating the dining room with banners, balloons and Valentine's table wear.
We gave each of our special residents a rose before a stunning performance from a lady called Lucinda who played the harp. What a lovely day!
Pamper Session
We are very pleased to announce we now offer pamper sessions from a qualified Beautician to our residents, every Friday, to therefore meet esteem needs and to enhance well-being. The residents have been treated by having their nails done and they have been enjoying the experience of paying a visit to the salon.
The Gentleman Barber
Each Monday we have a visit from The Gentleman Barber who offers a variety of services from Gents haircuts to a straight shave. This is a very enjoyable experience for our residents and helps to enhance well-being and meet their social and esteem needs.
Wonderful Work
We recently had volunteers from Norwich Rotary Club, who offered to plant some crocus bulbs in our Memory Lane garden. One of our residents enjoyed chatting with the volunteers and getting involved in planting the bulbs. Thank you so much to the Rotary Club for a lovely morning, our residents will thoroughly enjoy watching the bulbs bloom in Spring!
We have also been very lucky to also have Aviva Volunteers, who came along to paint garden furniture for our sensory garden on our Memory Lane community. Everyone worked so hard and it was an absolute pleasure to have such a great bunch of people here, singing along to Christmas music while they worked. The end result was fantastic and will really brighten up our garden.
Thank you so very much to everyone involved, especially Kelly from Friend in Deed, for putting us in touch with both of these groups.
