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.

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.

Life at Hilderstone Hall Care Home
Gardening Club
Our gardening club is growing in numbers, residents have made the most of the outdoors this summer taking part and keeping active. This year we have peas, beans and sunflowers.
Residents and staff have enjoyed watering and watching their creations grow, there is a huge sense of achievement.
Opera Performance
Our homes had a fabulous time with the talented soprano Astrid Joos from Street Theatre. Astrid spoke about a selection of famous operas and our residents were treated to performances of wonderful arias from operas well-known to all, such as ‘Giuditta’, ‘Don Giovanni’ and ‘Le Nozze di Figaro’.
It was a lovely experience, truly enjoyed by all.
National Cheese Day
On National Cheese Day our get-together for an afternoon social was very special. Familes and friends joined their loved ones for tasty nibbles, a spot of Wimbledon and a Cheese Quiz!
Regular themed social events keep us smiling, connected and engaged. We all enjoyed a wonderful selection of delicious cheeses and wines served in the Bistro and Lounge by our activities team who presented some old favourites and some new tastes for everyone to sample.
Come sing! Feel good!
Our homes have had a fantastic time with vocal coach Mark De-Lisser as he led an amazing virtual singing session for our residents to enjoy. Our residents across our services were able to learn different techniques as they sang the famous ‘I’m a Believer’ by The Monkees. There were smiles and laugher all around. The session was such a success and was great for the mind, body and soul.
Book Club Corner
Residents across our services had a lovely time joining Daniel Snowman, for an exciting virtual event to discuss his book ‘Just Passing Through’. Author of over a dozen books, Daniel Snowman’s long and active life has led him to interact in countless ways with the wider world and with some of its most famous inhabitants. His memoir evokes these experiences via a series of vivid literary vignettes.
Residents found the talk very intriguing and informative, and were happy to learn more about Daniel’s experiences around the world. Book club corner is part of our varied life enrichment programme.
Regular Church Services
We welcomed representatives from Fulford and Hilderstone Churches enjoying both service and communion.
Residents love the Church visits as it is a very sociable occasion and allows everyone to continue to practice their faith and beliefs within the care home setting
