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

A Cheese & Wine Social Afternoon

We all look forward to getting together at Hilderstone Hall's Social events and Cheese and Wine afternoons are no exception.   Regular themed social events keep us smiling, connected and engaged with each other!   A wonderful selection of delicious cheeses were served in the bistro by Hostess, Joanne who presented some old favourites and some new tastes for everyone to sample. 

Exploring Amerton Farm

Amerton Farm, Staffordshire is the perfect place to spend a fun filled morning or afternoon seeing animals, gaining inspiration for new ideas for crafting, shopping and exploring the vast estate.   Residents were thrilled that there was so much to see and do that we will return frequently by popular request!

A Day Trip to Trentham

We have been making the most of the autumn weather by taking a few minibus trips for delightful outings . Residents had a wonderful trip to Trentham Gardens where we could take in the beautiful surroundings, indulge in a spot of shopping and dine alfresco for lunch. Regular trips out to places of interest is all part of the monthly programme of events and activities on offer to residents.

A Virtual Cruise Experience

We had a lovely time joining Paul Hawkins and Lisa Richards from Unilever for an exciting Virtual Cruise experience.   Our residents were welcomed with mocktails as Lisa and Paul took them on a magical journey to 3 mystery destinations, which were uncovered after a few clues.   Paul demonstrated how to create a few of the local traditional dishes, which our residents had the opportunity to try too.  The event evoked lots of great memories and it was truly enjoyed by all.

The history of wine

We had a lovely time joining Hospitality Manager, Christophe Noel and special guests Lee Isaacs DipWSET and Nick Parker from Unity Wines and Spirits – as they introduced us to wine tasting techniques, the history of wine and wine making, as well as consumer attitudes.

Our residents had the opportunity to try a variety of wines from sparkling and white to rose and red, alongside a selection of delicious treats. 

It was a wonderful experience, enjoyed by all.   

The Proms with English National Ballet

We celebrated Last Night of the Proms virtually with members of English National Ballet’s Philharmonic Orchestra, led by Music Director Gavin Sutherland.

We listened and danced along as members of the orchestra took us on a magical, musical journey. English National Ballet Philharmonic is made up of many of the country’s top musicians, and boasts considerable experience in all forms of music-making. With insights and anecdotes into what it takes to conduct an orchestra for a world-class ballet company, this special concert got our feet tapping, arms waving and hearts singing!

It was a wonderful experience, enjoyed by all.
