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.

Life at Hilderstone Hall Care Home
World Chocolate Day
World Chocolate Day went down an absolute treat! We welcomed Jan into our home, where she came to do a talk on all the different countries and their chocolate creations. Not to mention the 8kg of chocolate she brought in for everyone to try.
We are now rated 'Good'!
We recently passed a Care Quality Commission inspection with an overall 'Good' rating after being praised for a responsive, safe, effective, caring and well-led service.
In celebration of the rating and to thank each member of the team for their contributions to the home, staff members were presented with a £100 gift voucher as a token of a appreciation.
Easter Party
We are always delighted when the children from Wellies & Worms come to visit and, especially on this occasion, as they came to perform their little Easter play, which was narrated by a resident of Hilderstone.
To add to the wonderful morning, they also brought along their beautiful pet rabbit for all the ladies and gentlemen to stroke and hold. We then moved outside into our beautiful gardens for the children to enjoy a picnic before taking part in an Easter egg hunt.
It was truly a memorable morning that was enjoyed by all!
Mother's Day
It was Mother’s Day treats all round at the Hall on Sunday 31st, starting with balloons, banners, cards and chocolates, and then on to a 3-course lunch fit for a queen, followed by a relaxing film and a tipple or two of everyone's favourite drinks. Another day to add to our memory book!
Long Service Award
A huge congratulations from all the staff and residents at Hilderstone Hall as one of our staff members, Emma, recently recieved her 10 year service award!
Wellies & Worms Return
The 'Wellies & Worms' playgroup stop by Hilderstone Hall fortnightly and, during their most recent visit, they helped us to create some decoraton for our Easter celebration.
The ladies and gentlemen were ready and waiting for them upon arrival, as they look forward to them visiting the Hall so much. Harriet was a little star, as always, and made sure she got in most of the pictures.
The children are an absolute joy to have in our home and we are already looking forward to their next visit.
