Activities at Hyacinth House Care Home
Our home is always full of life, and we can thank our wonderful Activities Coordinators for this. Dedication to creating a unique and interesting activities programme is what sets us apart from other homes. We always take into consideration that some people would prefer to pursue their own interests, which is why our team strive to incorporative activities that cater to a wide range of tastes and hobbies. Our trips out are always fun and exciting as well, and residents are guaranteed to return with stories to tell their loved ones!
Anna Wasiak
I am a friendly and enthusiastic Activity Coordinator with a passion for working with people and making a positive impact in their lives. I joined Hyacinth House in 2024 as a carer and excited to now be the Activities Coordinator. I have eight years experience in hospitality and three years in floristry. I bring creativity, strong interpersonal skills and a warm welcoming approach to my role. My background has given me the ability to connect with individuals, organise engaging activities, and create meaningful experiences that brighten people’s days. I love inspiring others, fostering a sense of community and bringing joy through thoughtful and inclusive activities.

Planting Hyacinth Flowers at Hyacinth House
Residents embarked on a delightful journey of shopping for and planting stunning flowers. The pleasant weather added extra layer of enjoyment to this engaging activity.
Our residents along with our dedicated head of maintenance Matt, took great pleasure in transforming our outdoor into a colorful and vibrant garden.
National Cornish Pasty Week
In celebration of this delightful occasion, our residents, their relatives, and our staff came together to embrace the joy of creating their very own Cornish pasties. Each pasty was crafted not just with fresh ingredients but also infused by love and laughter, making this experience special.
Among our enthusiastic pasty bakers, some chose to personalise their own creations by adding their initials, giving each pasty a unique and heartfelt touch. This little detail not only made the pasties stand out but also added a sense of ownership and pride to our culinary masterpieces
