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
Bonfire Night & Halloween
On Friday 3rd November, we celebrated Bonfire Night and Halloween (for a second time!) here at Hethersett. We had a fire dancer performing a show for us outside in our garden, with residents sat on the veranda wrapped up in blankets and enjoying hot chocolates as we got into the mood of the evening.
The night began with hot dogs and spooky desserts that were prepared by our kitchen team. We played many Halloween games, where residents and their loved ones were able to win some delicious sweets, dress up in Halloween costumes and dare to try out our spooky 'Halloween feel box'.
Halloween
On the 31st October, staff and residents had great fun dressing in their scariest outfits for Halloween! We saw devils, witches and even walking, talking pumpkins! Along with dressing up, we did Halloween crafts and carved some pumpkins.
It was a great day in which everybody enjoyed the chance to show their dark sides.
Four-Legged Friends
On 3rd October, we had a lovely visit from Sarah and her mini donkeys. The day was a great success, as the donkeys were very well behaved and residents were able to interact with them, both inside and outside, thanks to the weather also holding out for us.
We were very lucky to be able to have Sarah and her volunteer come in to show off the donkeys and tell us some delightful stories about their lives and daily activities. Seeing donkey’s walking through the lounge was a very surreal experience for all, but residents were ecstatic with joy, hearing their tiny hooves on the floors and being able to stroke their newly-developed, fluffy winter coats.
It was truly an amazing experience and a memorable day at Hethersett Hall. Hopefully our four-legged friends will return again soon.
Movie Night
All residents in our Memory Lane community here at Hethersett Hall got together to enjoy a magical musical movie and popcorn night. What a lovely nostalgic atmosphere!
