Activities at Iddenshall Hall Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.
Activities here at Iddenshall Hall are an integral part of every day life for each of our residents. We strive to include as many of our residents as possible with the activities schedule. Our Schedule is released monthly and includes activities such as poetry afternoons, indoor games, Bingo, flower arranging, pamper days, quizzes, exercises, various musicians and entertainers, Pat Dog Visits, Music Therapy, discussion groups and trips out in our minibus to local places of interest and further afield to see the Blackpool Lights or to Knowsley Safari Park.
We are constantly asking the people who live in our home which events they would like to see taking place and we endeavor to fulfill these requests. Our aim is to provide a varied and packed schedule which allows for a vast array of skill bases and capabilities. We are in constant contact with local groups and businesses, the local Beaver Scout group are always happy to pay a visit to our home, helping with the garden or coming at Christmas to sing carols for us. We also have a small group of volunteers to help us, including pupils from our local 6th form College who visit once a week.
All the above helps ensure the lives of our Residents are fun and fulfilled.

Life at Iddenshall Hall Care Home
Virtual event with Art Historian
Residents across our services had a delightful time during a special virtual sensory storytelling event, led by Art Historian Jon Sleigh from the Historic Royal Palaces.
Jon took us on a journey to discover some of the more unusual and unexpected inhabitants of the palaces and the Tower of London, sharing fascinating stories about the pets at the palaces.
Whilst enjoying the virtual experience, our residents were treated to hot beverages, delicious biscuits, berries and cakes. It was a truly lovely time for all.
Ball Games
Residents of Iddenshall Hall and Beeston View enjoy keeping fit together! This week we enjoyed a little ball fun as we promoted our well-being and maintaining our flexibility and balance. It was a lot of fun as we played with colourful balls and aimed for the bucket. This is a fun-filled group activity.
A floral themed arts and crafts session.
We had a great time making paper flowers today! The residents loved choosing their favourite colours and shapes to create their own floral masterpiece. They used scissors and glue to turn simple coloured card into beautiful blossoms. Then they then painted some greenery and a vase to complete the look. Everyone was proud of their work and shared it with their friends. It was a fun and creative way to enjoy the spring season!
National Vegetarian Week
At Iddenshall Hall we celebrated the vegetarian week with making fresh citrus juices and minibudgets that were very successful for those. The most desired ingredient was beets and hummus, but the combination with the other vegetables was a successful result.
Coronation Party
We had a great celebration with a royal quiz competition, a teddy bear prize, photos on the throne, coronation of our king and queen and tasting royal cupcakes plus drinks and juices and more. So it was a wonderful party. We ended our celebration singing the National Anthem and dancing a lot.
Coronation Crafts
Today, we crafted beautiful corsages for all of our residents to wear at our festive event tomorrow. The residents are eagerly awaiting the grand occasion and can't wait to celebrate with you. We hope you are as excited as we are!
