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.

Activities Lead

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

Sharing positive thoughts

We love our ‘Positive Board’ which is surrounded by positive quotes we have written or received from our friends in the community.  We would like to thank everyone who has shared their quotes with us, and we often stop by our board to read.  We also include in our display a different illustration weekly, the recent was by popular novelist, Charlie Mackesy

Creative crafts

Residents of Hilderstone Hall enjoy their popular arts and crafts sessions, using different coloured cards, textures and paint to create hand-made cards to send to their loved ones.  We always use a touch of glitter too to add a little sparkle!

Residents celebrate International Flower Day

Residents enjoyed International Flower Day by creating a selection of colourful floral jar arrangements to display throughout the home.  It was something that definitely brightened up our day here at Hilderstone!   Residents took part in flower-based activities throughout the day  reminiscing about their gardens and flowers in the home’s garden,   Their collective knowledge about flowers gained from years of gardening experience was very impressive.  

Happy New Year

Residents of Hilderstone Hall showed their creative sides as they personalised ‘Happy New Year’ cards to send to their loved ones with a little help from the homes activities coordinator, Gemma Birch. Residents enjoyed the interaction and choosing all the different textures and colours as they designed their cards.
