Activities at Hugh Myddelton House Care Home
Activities are the cornerstone of a wholesome home experience and our Activities Coordinators are always putting their creative minds to the test by organising new and exciting social events for residents to partake in. Of course, we take into account the likes and dislikes of those we support, so if someone doesn’t feel like trying something new, there will always be something on offer to reflect their personal interests. For the people who may just prefer some peace and quiet instead, we also offer one-to-one time that can be enjoyed with a nice cup of coffee or just a simple chat – whatever they desire.

Life at Hugh Myddelton House Care Home
Intergenerational Connections with Merryhills Primary School
End of September, we had the pleasure of welcoming the wonderful students from Merryhills primary school to our Hugh Myddelton care house! The children spent time chatting with our lovely residents and Freda who was a teacher she shared her stories from her years in the classroom, offering the children valuable insights and sparking beautiful conversations between generations.
It was a heart-warming experience for everyone and we can’t wait for more visits like this in the future. Thank you to Merryhills primary school for brining joy to our residents.
Silver Sunday!
Silver Sunday, celebrated every year on the first Sunday of October, marks the contributions of older people to society, celebrates their happiness and wellbeing and presents an opportunity to bring generations together.
On this day, we reached out to the families and the community and we organised a special party with musical entertainment by Pete Morton and delicious cocktails & mocktails for all to enjoy!
Ballet Performance from London Children’s Ballet
What a wonderful day we had.
We were so delighted to have the London Children's Ballet to join us today morning to perform “The Secret Garden”.
Our staff, residents and their loved ones enjoyed to watch this fantastic live show. It was such a beautiful performance that brought joy to all the generations!
The performance lasted for about an hour, afterwards the performers spent time with our residents, dancing, talking and taking pictures. We are extremely grateful to the LCB for adding Hugh Myddelton House in to their tour. We hope they come and see us again soon.

Trip to Garden centre
Residents, staff and relative ambassador from Hugh Myddelton home were excited as we went out to local garden centre to buy plants that could thrive in colder conditions as well as décor for our garden as the festive winter season is coming up. For many of our residents, gardening had been a lifelong passion and having a chance to pick out our winter blooming plants was exciting, as we all were eagerly anticipated too. Following day, we spent the morning painting the benches and planter box giving the garden a fresh and vibrant look. The light colours we painted brought out the colours on the flowers which made our residents happy. Later on in the evening we enjoyed a peaceful flower arranging session with Pat where residents got creative with their favourite flowers. It was a wonderful day to spend time together, as well as making the garden even more beautiful for everyone to enjoy.
