Activities at Hugh Myddelton House Care Home

We cannot visit The Chelsea Flower Show, so we decided to bring the flower show in our home. The residents were very happy, made some amazing arrangements and at the end they decorated our home with them. Ramona, our Deputy Manager was delighted with the arrangement the residents made for her - the colourful flowers made us all smile!

Staff and residents at Hugh Myddelton House care centre in Enfield, showed support of Mental Health Awareness Week 2020, spreading some positivity and joy, as the theme this year was ‘Kindness’.

Throughout the week, Hugh Myddelton House residents and staff supported the initiative by cups of tea and virtual catch ups with family and friends using Skype and Facetime. Residents were also touched to receive messages and prayers from the local community who would under normal circumstances be visiting the home on a weekly basis.

Carla Sanders, General Manager at the home, said: “Ensuring residents feel engaged and connected within our local community, and with family and friends is extremely important to their mental health, especially in these unprecedented times. Residents are really enjoying video calls, chatting about daily life on our iPad is certainly something new for many residents, they love to see their family and friends in their own homes all over the world. Here at Hugh Myddelton House, we are continually adapting, and finding new ways to make sure every effort is focused on creating an enjoyable environment for all of our residents, adhering to social distancing advice.”

We are playing our part in the wider care sector and supporting the NHS where possible. We are currently still taking admissions into our care home for those that need care in the next 4 weeks, so please do give us a call on 020 8886 4099 if you are looking for care or need any further help.

Its a lovely sunny afternoon and our residents enjoy getting into the garden - relaxing or enjoying a game. Gordon and Iuliana played an intense game of Dominoes, as you can see from the concentration on his face! The game crossed the table and it was a close competition right to the end.

More garden games are planned over coming days, sun hats and suntan cream at the ready, ice creams are certainly going to be enjoyed by all.  

Coinciding with the birth date of Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing, International Nurses Day, held on Tuesday 12th May, is a day to celebrate nurses and care staff around the world. Residents and staff at Hugh Myddelton House in Southgate, were happy to get involved by hosting a much deserved International Nurses Day.

Mihaela Sultan, Nurse at the home, said: “For nurses, not one day looks the same. I became a nurse because I’ve always wanted to help people. What I love about nursing is that it is constantly evolving”.

Ramona Stanciu, Deputy Manager at the home, said:  “At Hugh Myddelton House our nurses and staff are hard-working, dedicated, and passionate about caring for others, and that compassion and commitment has shone through even more these past few months. They continue to work tirelessly, and I’m proud of the professionalism and duty of care they uphold”.

Ellen Box, who lives at Hugh Myddelton House, said: “The staff here are kind and caring, they are extremely passionate about the care they provide.”

Residents had lots of fun celebrating National Tea Day here at Hugh Myddelton House. 

Hugh Myddleton House Care Centre in Southgate celebrated the Queen’s birthday in style, also brewed up a storm for National Tea Day on the 21st April, with a National Virtual Tea Party!

Supplied with a tasty selection of biscuits, cakes, and of course, teas for the event, residents of Hugh Myddleton also had lots of fun joining in on a number of virtual events held across the nation and provided by the National Tea Day Company.

Ramona Stanciu, Deputy Manager at Hugh Myddleton House said: “In these unprecedented times, providing a range of engaging activities for our residents is more important than ever. Residents really enjoyed the choice of teas, cakes and events for National Tea Day, and as a nation who truly loves their tea, it was great excuse for an afternoon brew and a natter. It was also a good way to celebrate our longest reigning monarch”.

Philip, Dementia Care Specialist at Hugh Myddleton House said: “The Queen is an amazing lady, our residents love a cup of tea and conversation so it was a wonderful combination to celebrate the two. And it was lovely for residents to celebrate with the staff who are taking such good care of everyone.”
