Activities at Hilderstone Hall Care Home
Our activities team are, first and foremost, devoted to each and every resident in the home, and strive to ensure that their interests, hobbies, capabilities and individual requests are met to the highest standard. This could include one-to-one chats, hand massages, reading, music therapy, flower arranging, movement to music, arts & crafts, gardening and baking. We also have regular fun, adventurous and stimulating trips, where we encourage families and loved ones to join us. We have close links with the Alzheimer's Society, the local primary school, and Trinity Skills who come to sing with residents. All the staff at Hilderstone Hall participate in activities with residents, offering encouragement, stimulation and interaction for everyone involved, providing the most fulfilling experience possible.
Hannah Perry
Hi I’m Hannah and I am the Activities Lead. I have two children and love spending time on my allotment growing fruit and veg. I joined the team at Hilderstone Hall in October 2023 and have become a valued member of the team. I enjoy working with the residents and getting to know them, as well as making sure they take part in various activities such as singing, crafts, baking and much more! I have over 9 years experience within the care industry and worked previously as an Activities Co-Ordinator before coming to Hilderstone.

We love sociable games and get together frequently for some friendly competition and always reap the benefits that the interactions bring.
A successful day results in friends being made, a huge sense of achievement for all who have taken part and prizes have been won!

Bonfire night fun
Happy Bonfire night from everyone at Hilderstone Hall.
We enjoyed a mini firework display, mulled wine, hotdogs and tasty toffee apples. We welcomed family and friends to join in the fun and all had a super evening.
Happy Birthday Richard
We are wishing A very Happy Birthday to Richard from us all at Hilderstone Hall!
Chef Sharon presented a beautiful home made birthday cake that was shared with friends, residents and carers throughout the afternoon.
Spooktacular fun
Here at Hilderstone Hall we got into the spooky Halloween spirit of things by creating an autumnal display with painted and carved pumpkins.
We hosted a fun-filled afternoon with delicious Halloween inspired treats and themed music
Some of our residents preferred to paint and decorate pumpkins and to dress up for the occasion, others got involved in themed quizzes and games, and enjoyed watching Halloween films. Visitor Ziggy the dog also enjoyed observing the spooky fun!
We all had a spooktacular time!

Beautiful bouquets
We had a fantastic time joining members of the Wallace Collection for an amazing sensory session. During the live virtual experience, our residents explored one of the museum’s most beautiful Dutch flower paintings and learnt new drawing techniques. We cannot wait to put our creative skills to a test and produce beautiful paintings of our own. Thank you for the lovely talk, we all had lots of fun.
