Life at Hilderstone Hall Care Home
Fradswell Community luncheon
Our residents here at Hilderstone Hall have continued to engage with the local community by joining the monthly luncheon club arranged by and held at Fradswell community hub.
We joined the many local parish members and their families for an afternoon which included a fabulous two course lunch mouth-watering fish and chips with a side of garden peas followed by a fruit flan and diary ice cream. The luncheon was also accompanied by a local musician playing well known memorable tunes form the past on the piano.
Baking Club
The residents here at Hilderstone Hall have partaken in a spot of baking recently. We used many of our senses as well as memory and reading skills to make and prepare a batch of yummy savoury crumbly cheese scones.
The residents enjoyed rolling, mixing and cutting the savoury mixture in preparation for our talented chef to bake in the ovens for us to enjoy!
Stone Community Hub
We would like to say a massive thank you from Hilderstone Hall to everyone at The Stone Community Hub for welcoming us so openly today with a big smile, tea & biscuits. We have been collecting food items over the last few weeks to donate to the local food bank and today with a few of the residents we have presented them and had an insight into the wonderful work that goes on there by truly lovely people.
Preparing the Spring bulbs
The residents here at Hilderstone Hall have been taking part in a spot of bulb planting under the guidance of one of our new green fingered residents. Maureen kindly donated Hyacinth & mixed miniature daffodil bulbs along with the fertiliser.
We shall look forward to watching them bloom!
Musical moments with Anna
Once a month we enjoy a visit from one of the homes firm favourites - Anna from Musical Moments. Anna has been providing Hilderstone Halls residents with dance, music and uplifting activities for some time now as part of our life enrichment programme. This is a popular group session and always attracts a large crowd!
Pamper afternoon
We had a lovely afternoon at Hilderstone Hall on Saturday 16th sept. Thanks to Kat the clinical nurse who came in on her day off to provide the residents with an afternoon of pampering including facials, nail painting and makeup tutorials, leaving the residents looking and feeling truly refreshed.
The residents mental and physical wellbeing is crucial here at Hilderstone and providing relaxation and pamper afternoons is one way to enhance and promote this with them.
