Activities at Iddenshall Hall Care Home
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
Welcoming new residents at Christmas
The residents at Iddenshall Hall have really enjoyed their Christmas presents and the Christmas activities (baking, crafts, gifts, music, too name a few). Our new residents have greatly appreciated everything and been made to feel really welcome here too.
Tarporley Ukulele Community Band
Residents at Iddenshall Hall were treated to a fantastic performance from the Tarporley Ukulele Community Band. The music was wonderful. The residents enjoyed singing along to Christmas music.
Community spirit
TG Builder Merchants are very kindly hosting a raffle - a bulk bag of logs that are perfect for warming the winter months!
They are supporting us in raising funds to help purchase magic tables that will enhance the lives of our residents here at Beeston View, our Memory Lane Community.
A trip to see the Christmas Lights
Tour to Nantwich and Tarporley town to see the Christmas lights.
The residents enjoyed this outing a lot, seeing the Christmas lights in the streets, around the shopping centre. It was very gratifying for them that they came back singing Christmas carols.
Carol Singing by The Tarvin Beaver Scouts
Our home was full of children's singing and laughter this week as the Tarvin Beaver Scout pack visited and entertained us with a whole range of Christmas songs, poems and jokes.
The residents really enjoyed singing along with their young visitors who had also kindly made individual Christmas cards for them too.
We look forward to welcoming them again soon!
Christmas Jumper Day
We are helping to make the world a better place by wearing a festival jumpers today in aid of Save the Children’s annual fundraising event, Christmas Jumper Day. Our residents have been encouraged to borrow or decorate their own special Christmas jumpers and raise awareness for children in need all around the world. Some of our residents have been very creative and decorated their own glitzy knitwear with tinsel, stars, baubles and snowflakes.
