Activites 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!

I am a friendly and enthusiastic Activity Coordinator with a passion for working with people and making a positive impact in their lives.

I bring creativity, strong interpersonal skills and a warm welcoming approach to my role.

I love inspiring others, fostering a sense of community and bringing joy through thoughtful and inclusive activities.
Celebrating life at Hyacinth House Care Home

Happy International Women's Day!
We celebrated in a delightful manner with afternoon tea after enjoying a lovely catch up with our relatives, who attended the quarterly meeting.
It’s always wonderful to receive feedback and suggestions that can help us make our home even more special

Hyacinth House Community Café is the heart of the action

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
A day of shopping and preparing for the upcoming spring
In between the showers, our residents had a brilliant time shopping in our local garden centre.
A debate was had to find the best plants to bring back with us as we start to welcome in the spring!
It was great to see our residents share their knowledge and love for all things plants

We had a fantastic and successful Open Day yesterday! It was great to welcome so many visitors through our doors, to explore our lovely home and learn more about our services and caring community.
The home was decorated with stunning Ikebana floral displays created by our residents in the morning. In the afternoon, we enjoyed a social gathering singing along to the brilliant Nigel Revill, while sipping a glass of fizz and indulging in delicious doughnuts - the perfect treat!
