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
From The Beatles to Bob Marley
Today, residents, their loved ones and staff at Hugh Myddelton House enjoyed a lovely morning of entertainment with Pete.
Pete sang a medley of our favourite songs, including songs by The Beatles, Bob Marley, Elvis and Abba. We enjoyed singing and dancing along and look forward to Ian coming back to entertain us again soon.
A Visit from West Grove Primary School
Here at Hugh Myddelton house we had a visit from West Grove Primary School spending time reading to our residents, filling the room with laughter, smiles and wonderful memories.
It was a joy to see different generations come together, sharing stories and creating moments to cherish. A big thank you to the students for bringing so much energy and kindness to the home.
National Pizza Day
What could be better on a cold February day? Residents and staff at Hugh Myddelton had a fantastic time celebrating National Pizza Day, a brilliant excuse to sample lots of delicious, warming pizza!
Overseen by head chef Chris and Kitchen Assistant, Dejan, staff and residents experimented with many different types of toppings and flavour combinations - from the exotic, to the classic and everything in between!
Some people controversially added pineapple, others preferred spicier options, and some stuck to a good old Margherita.
Bonfire Night
We gathered together tonight to enjoy Bonfire night with our residents, staff and family!
Everyone had a fantastic time watching the fireworks and lighting up sparklers enjoying the magic of the evening. We lit sparklers, shared laughter and reminisced about the past.
Moments like these remind us of the joy being together as one big family.
Here’s to more memories!
Baking Club
Our residents rolled up their sleeves and joined in together to bake a delicious chocolate cake!
From mixing ingredients to decorating, everyone had a hand in creating this sweet treat. It was wonderful way to share stories, laughter and a few baking tips along the way.
Nothing beats the smell of fresh chocolate cake in the air and the joy of creating something together.
Can’t wait for our next recipe!
Debbie’s fashion show at Hugh Myddelton
This is a great opportunity for residents to have a shop come to them, and for them to be able to choose their own clothing.
With a selection of winter fashions on offer, we set our dining room up like a clothing shop. Debbie offers a selection of men’s and ladies clothing, underwear, socks and Christmas dresses.
Debbie will be back with her spring and summer collection.
