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
Mini Donks on Tour
We had a visit from some miniature donkeys earlier this week. Oh wow, what a lovely afternoon! The donkeys were very well behaved and very gentle with the residents, and the staff were very friendly and professional. The residents loved seeing them! It was so nice for staff to see their reactions and how happy they were – after all, it’s not every day we see donkeys in our lounge!
Lunch in the Sunshine
Our residents enjoyed a beverage while sitting by the river watching the boats and wildlife, followed by a tasty lunch made by the lovely staff at Surlingham Ferry Inn. It was really nice to chat with our residents and hear stories from their lives. We were very lucky the sun was shining and certainly made the most of it!
Notcutts Garden Centre
The residents of Hethersett Hall took a trip out to the local garden centre earlier this week. We enjoyed some tea and delicious cakes in Notcutts lovely café. Afterwards, we had a look around, admiring all the flowers and the little pet shop – with lots of fluffy pets! Staff and residents had a lovely morning and the sunshine was an added bonus!
Garden Party
Residents have been out in the garden in this lovely weather planting our new raised flower beds with plants and flowers that they picked out during a trip out to the garden centre. We are so lucky to have such beautiful grounds here at Hethersett Hall, and residents all love to get out in the garden when the weather permits it.
Summer Fête
Everyone had a lovely day at our Summer Fête this year. The weather was lovely and everyone was in great spirits as we all got together to have fun and raise money for the residents' fund.
Our guests indulged in some cream and hog roast whilst taking part in some of our games, and we managed to raise an amazing £340!
We would like to say a big thank you to everyone who attended and helped to make the event such a huge success.
Art Therapy
Every other Monday, our Garden House unit has a visit from Foteini, who is an artist from Creative Mojo, a company that specialises in art therapy. These sessions help promote group discussions about themes and colours, as well as bringing residents out of their shells and letting them be as creative as possible. We now have lots of colourful masterpieces displayed around the unit, bringing even more life and colour to the home.
