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.
Ellie Robinson
Hi, my name is Ellie and I am the Activities Co-ordinator here at Hilderstone Hall.
I joined the team in November 2024 having previously worked in hospitality and event planning. I am not new to working in healthcare - earlier in my career I trained and worked as a Care Assistant and obtained my NVQ Level 2 and Higher Diploma Level 3 in Health and Social Care.
I bring bags of energy and enthusiasm and I enjoy spending time with Residents, getting to know them individually, their personalities, likes and dislikes. Ultimately, this enables me to plan and deliver a tailored activities programme to suit their wants and needs.
I am also a qualified florist, which supports the creativity involved in the role and I can inspire Residents to participate in regular and new activities and events.
Outside of work, I am a Mum to my young Son, which keeps me busy! In my spare time my family and I enjoy getting out in the the fresh air for walks and there is usually a coffee and cake stop too!

Life at Hilderstone Hall Care Home
Celebrating Audrey Hepburn's Birthday
We celebrated Audrey Hepburn's birthday here at Hilderstone Hall; one of the staff dressed up as the legendary actress herself, and was chauffeured around the car park in a soft-top car. The residents enjoyed tea & birthday cake in the afternoon as a celebration.
Celebrating Life at Hilderstone Hall
We had an afternoon of fun, games and, of course, wine in our Spode lounge.
Celebrating Nurses Day
Here at Hilderstone Hall, we like to make our nurses feel special - and that's exactly what we did on International Nurses' Day; each of our nurses received a travel mug and some extra-nice treatment as a way of saying thank you for all of the hard work that they do.
Dignity in Care Awards
The general manager, Elaine and residential Care Manager Lynn, attended the Dignity in Care Awards at the County Showground in Staffordshire, where Lynn had been nominated for the Outstanding Example Award. Lynn made it through to the final but unfortunately didn't win on this occasion, but they both enjoyed a magnificent day whilst raising the profile of the home in the community.
Lynn is the winner and champion in the eyes of Hilderstone Hall. Well done Lynn!
Baking Afternoon
The residents on our Memory Lane community at Hilderstone Hall enjoyed an afternoon of baking whilst we all enjoyed the lovely results.
Life Skills in Memory Lane
The residents of Memory Lane took advantage of a rare Winter sunny day at Hilderstone Hall by pegging some of the washing out in their beautiful garden.
