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
Open Day
We love music and performers, so it was only natural to invite one of our favourite musicians for our open day on 21st April, who played the saxophone for residents and guests.
Here, we believe in music as a form of therapy, as it encourages movement, increases social activity and reduces stress.
The incomparable Sandra Grant came and wowed us as she always does whilst we sat back in our beautiful garden enjoying a lovely open day.
Creative Minds
Here at Hugh Myddelton House, we encourage residents to get involved in our Creative Minds sessions.
Creative Minds is a therapeutic art group that helps with cognitive impairment and it can also be adapted for those with physical disabilities. Research shows that it is beneficial for stress management, anxiety and improving general well-being.
Residents are always proud of their work and can even enjoy a cup of tea and biscuits whilst painting.
Watch out for our upcoming art exhibition for our budding artists!
Creative Minds takes place every other week on Thursday.

Bird Therapy at Hugh Myddelton
Today we had some very special visitors, those of the feathered kind! A selection of birds including owls and hawks came to visit our home. Our residents really enjoyed their visit and some were brave enough to hold them.
