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
St Patrick's Day
St Patricks Day was celebrated in full Irish fashion with Irish stew and dumplings, Guinness cake and a little tipple of whiskey. All of this was followed by a fun-filled afternoon of singing with our entertainer, Geoff. It was a great day!
Comic Relief
What a wonderful day we had celebrating Comic Relief. We had a 45 minute Zumba fitness session for residents, families, friends and staff. Prizes were given for the most outrageously dressed and best effort. It was a fun day!
Wellies & Worms
What a wonderful morning we had when the children from the Wellies & Worms Pre-School came to visit us for Shrove Tuesday. We made pancakes with a lot of very interesting fillings, and had an extra surprise when a resident's son came to visit with his beautiful black Labrador guide dog, Vectra. Both children and residents alike had a wonderful time giving him some fuss and plenty of cuddles.
National Pizza Day
National Pizza Day went down a treat as our ladies and gentlemen had great fun choosing their toppings and making their own pizzas – and then the best part was eating them with homemade chunky chips!
Chinese New Year
It was lovely to welcome the children from our local village, who came to join us at the Hall as we celebrated Chinese New Year with a Chinese buffet lunch and party games. It was also a great surprise when the children had prepared a song about the Chinese dragon that they performed for the ladies and gentlemen. A real treat for everyone!
Zumba Class
A Zumba class is never dull at Hilderstone Hall, and whether you are family, friend or visitor, you are always welcome to come and join us. Of course, you would be welcome to stay for a chat and a fruit smoothie afterwards.
