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
Great swing action by Gordon!
The weather has rather curtailed our outdoor activities however we are still exercising muscle and mind every day, residents input into the daily programme means everyone get to choose their favourite
National Chocolate Day
Thank you to all our relatives who donated chocolates for residents to enjoy a special sweet celebration of all things chocolate! Marshmallows and fruit were dipped into the milk chocolate fountain, the serious chocoholics double dipped their individual chocolates too. It was certainly a day to forget the calories!
Donation to St Andrews Church brings much joy
Hugh Myddelton House care centre presented St Andrew’s Church with a cheque for £203, collected by donations from residents and their families.
The care centre welcomed Father Edd Turner and his family to accept the cheque in the garden of the home.We are welcoming new residents and patients into our homes to ensure that we are there for those that need care and support, and have a very clear admission policy and infection control protocols that must be met. Please do give us a call on 020 8886 4099 if you are looking for care or need any further help.
Father Edd, said “On behalf of St Andrew’s I’m delighted to accept the cheque, the church is an important part of the community in Southgate and whilst we are not able to hold open services at the moment we are working in the community with all our volunteers and supporting outreach projects, our sermons are available online too”.
Carla Sanders, General Manager at Hugh Myddelton House care centre, said: “We are always keen to show as much support as we can to local charities, residents have appreciated the weekly prayers Father Edd provides and we are looking forward to welcoming the team back to the home for the regular church service in the future".

Indoor tennis
There are plenty of match highlights from yesteryear on the BBC over the next 2 weeks to watch, Gordon and Jeffrey enjoyed a match of their own, all in the comfort of arm chairs!
A proper afternoon tea party!
As we celebrated Cream Tea Day on Friday there was much discussion on which tastes best, cream and jam on the scone or jam and then cream! Being a number of miles from Devon or Cornwall we decided both are delicious.
With homemade scones, traditional strawberry jam and clotted cream together with a choice of teas all our residents voted it a great success
Life's a picnic at Hugh Myddelton House!
Hugh Myddelton care home went all out for National Picnic Week on 25th June. Residents were invited to pull up a garden chair on the home’s neatly mowed lawn and enjoy the beautiful weather under the shade of the trees. A whole host of treats were laid on to celebrate.
Hampers, prepared by the hospitality team at the home, were packed to the brim with fresh crusty bread, a cheese and pate selection for residents to enjoy al fresco. The fun didn’t stop there as some of the other delights on offer included chilled wine, fresh fruit and freshly bakes scones.
Carla Sanders, General Manager at the home, said: “Picnic Week is a great excuse for us to get outside and enjoy a picnic in the garden. In these unprecedented times, we are continually finding new ways to make sure every effort is focused on creating an enjoyable environment for all of our residents, whilst adhering to social distancing advice.”
