Activities at Hugh Myddelton House Care Home

We had such a lovely time during our intergenerational visit! The children from Anna Nursery School joined us for a delightful Teddy Bear Picnic in the garden, bringing joy, laughter, and plenty of teddy bears too! 

They were joined by students from West Grove Primary School, who read stories to our residents and spent quality time with the little ones. It was heart-warming to see everyone connecting across generations.

A huge thank you to Anna Nursery and West Grove Primary School for visiting our home and bringing so much happiness to our residents. 

There’s nothing better than music to lift the spirit! It's never too early to celebrate World Music Day, and we had an amazing time doing just that with John! As he said, "The staff enjoyed it just as much as the residents!"

We danced, we sang our favourite songs, and shared lots of smiles.

What a lovely afternoon spent with community friends! 

At Hugh Myddelton, we celebrated National Fish and Chip Day—a fantastic opportunity to come together, enjoy a delicious lunch, and share warm conversations. A big thank you to Angela and her friends from Christ Church for joining us today and making the day even more special!

We had a truly special moment at Hugh Myddelton House during Dementia Action Week. Jon Jones, a dementia specialist, joined us to give an incredible talk and training session, and we’re so grateful he did.
Families and staff were all engaged, asked some great questions, and walked away feeling more connected, informed, and inspired. Jon didn’t just share knowledge, he shared heart.

A huge thank you to Jon for being with us and making such a difference. Like Maya Angelou once said: “People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” 

We celebrated the 80th anniversary of VE Day! It was a wonderful day shared by our residents, their families, and our dedicated staff. We enjoyed singing songs, having lunch together, and reading interesting facts about VE Day. A truly memorable celebration!

Residents observed the national two-minute silence and listened again to Churchill’s iconic speech accepting Germany’s surrender and an address from the Queen. They reminisced about their memories of VE Day and watched clips of the celebrations that took place outside Buckingham Palace and all across London.

Here at Hugh Myddelton House, we celebrated World Cocktail Day with lots of smiles and fun. Whether you’re a tequila fan, a whisky lover, a gin aficionado, or simply enjoy trying something new, World Cocktail Day has something for everyone. 

Residents enjoyed delicious cocktails and mocktails, savouring the flavours while reminiscing and mentally travelling to faraway places. 

We had a wonderful Easter afternoon with the amazing Kitty! Her mini-concert was full of joy, music, and dancing. The residents sang along, danced, and truly enjoyed every moment.

At the end of the session, Kitty walked around handing out Easter eggs and took lovely photos with the residents to capture these special memories. 

Thank you so much, Kitty, for an amazing performance! We can’t wait to see you again soon!

We had such a great time with our residents this week at Baking Club — lots of laughter, stories, and some seriously cute cupcakes!   

Everyone got stuck in decorating with pastel icing, and all the sprinkles you can imagine. It’s always heartwarming to see everyone come together, share stories, and enjoy a sweet treat!

Such a sweet way to celebrate Easter together!

We had such a lovely time celebrating Eid at our care home this year! There was so much joy, laughter, and good vibes all around.   

A big thanks to our amazing Second Chef, Rakshi, for her wonderful speech about Ramadan. It really touched everyone's hearts and made the celebration even more special. A huge thanks to our Chef Chris for the incredible cakes and delicious food! You truly outdid yourself, and everyone was talking about how tasty everything was.

And of course, we also had a fundraising event to support the Barchester Charity Foundation. It’s amazing how Eid brings people together to help those in need. Thanks to everyone who joined in and helped out your generosity will make a real difference! Let’s keep spreading the love and kindness.
