Jacksons Nursery festive trip
The residents here at Hilderstone Hall enjoyed a trip out with our activities team, to partake in a festive two course lunch within the Staffordshire country side. There was a wonderful array of Christmas gifts, decorations and culinary delights. The residents enjoyed being able to browse the shops and this truly got us into the festive spirit.
Entertainment with Britt
We welcomed back a firm favourite to Hilderstone Hall in the form of our musical entertainer Britt who serenaded our residents with a mixture of country and western and other popular musical numbers. One of our residents Maureen particularly enjoyed this as she was previously a music teacher. Maureen herself alongside her daughter has entertained the residents here at Hilderstone with her piano skills.
Long-standing Resident Birthday
We celebrated Peter’s birthday this month along with many other residents here at Hilderstone Hall. Our fabulous chef made sure that everybody’s birthday was extra special by making individual cakes for each resident. Peter celebrated his birthday with family members who enjoyed sharing the delights of chef Rodney.
Halloween Craft afternoon
The residents here at Hilderstone Hall spent the afternoon taking part in Halloween crafts. This incorporated sensory potato marking, painting and pumpkin decorating. Each of the resident’s creations were used to decorate our Halloween Party which was held in the afternoon in the communal lounge. Here they enjoyed a spot of pumpkin boules and sensory ‘touch and feel’ trick or treat boxes where residents had to guess whether they would have a trick or a treat, which was a delightful surprise to all!
