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
Painting Autumn Trees
Residents enjoyed expressing their art by painting autumn trees. Which also help to realise the change of season that was commented by the residents and one of the lady surprised us with her colours inspiration, this is because she was once a Cheshire artist in creating designs for embroidery.
Macmillan Coffee Morning
Today at Beeston View, we hosted a coffee & cake event in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support.
Residents, staff, family and friends came together to enjoy a good catch-up with each other over some delicious home-made bakes.
Thank-you to everyone who donated!
Act of Kindness
Sometimes a simple act of kindness shows how greatful you are of all your amazing staff.
Today everyone got to enjoy a graze table for their morning break, it was enjoyed by all and definitely worth it to see everyone smiling even more so!
A huge thank you from the bottom of my heart for what you all do each and every day to enrich the lives of our lovely residents
World Animal Day
Hilary, one of our residents at Beeston View just LOVES dogs!
Today, to celebrate World Animal Day the residents created a collage of animals from all around the world but for Hilary we created a special one of just dogs.
Hilary was so thrilled!
Sandcastles
We had so much fun in the garden building sand castles. The residents loved spending time reminiscing about their childhood memories at the sea side, and castles they have visited.
The creative skills flowed and the result was the construction of a fortification which they were so proud of!
Blowing bubbles!
We have taken advantage of a dry and warmer day to have fun blowing bubbles in the garden and we had so much fun and laughter as we looked to see whose bubbles were the biggest!
Once back indoors, we enjoyed a refreshing cup of tea and a slice of home-made cake.
