Activities at Hugh Myddelton House Care Home
Activities are the cornerstone of a wholesome home experience and our Activities Coordinators are always putting their creative minds to the test by organising new and exciting social events for residents to partake in. Of course, we take into account the likes and dislikes of those we support, so if someone doesn’t feel like trying something new, there will always be something on offer to reflect their personal interests. For the people who may just prefer some peace and quiet instead, we also offer one-to-one time that can be enjoyed with a nice cup of coffee or just a simple chat – whatever they desire.

Life at Hugh Myddelton House Care Home
Love is around in Hugh Myddelton
Staff and residents celebrated the day of love by creating heart-shaped decorations to decorate the home, gifting each other home-made sweets, cakes and treats and enjoying a live music performance that took place at the home. Local singer, Pete Morton, performed a selection of love songs including Love Me Tender, Can’t Help Falling in Love, That’s Amore, I’m a Believer. Residents joined in with the singing and clapped along as the singer performed his finale song I love you baby.
We all had a wonderful Valentine's Day!
Pancake Day!
Today, residents and staff at Hugh Myddelton celebrated Pancake Day! Our Chef prepared the pancakes and our residents enjoyed making their own delicious fillings! We have had traditional lemon and sugar; choices of fresh fruits and hot chocolate sauces with fresh cream. We've had so much fun reminiscing and sharing our favourite recipes for fillings.
Southgate School Christmas Party
Residents of Hugh Myddelton House, were delighted to be invited to Christmas Party at Southgate Primary School.
It was a lovely tea party to celebrate Christmas, afterwards they chatted and residents shared their childhood memories of Christmas.
Remembering Sultan
A communal prayer was conducted for one of our residents who passed away this month, Sultan Ibrahim. Sultan was an incredible beautiful soul who would make everyone’s day by spreading great joy. She had such great humour and was incredibly friendly to everyone who came across her. Sultan joined in April of 2018, wanting to continue her journey of life with us which was such a great honour. Her family, having been with us for so long, decided to conduct the funeral prayer for Sultan here at Hugh Myddelton as this was her second home. Being a welcoming multicultural home, we celebrate all at Hugh Myddelton hence we were privileged to do so.
The public turnout was incredibly touching as everyone recounted their stories of how Sultan impacted our lives in such a meaningful way.
Her son, Ali, says “Thank you to everyone for looking after my mother. She spent her last five years in this home and that is why I chose to do her prayer here as this was her second home. “
The General Manager of Hugh Myddelton says “It is a great honour to host the funeral prayer here. We will always remember her and her bouncy personality. She was the great joy of our home.”
Our lovely carer Noureza who spent a lot of time looking after Sultan throughout the years says “I will always remember her as a lovely and funny person. She will always be in our hearts”.
She would have turned 97 last week unfortunately it was not meant to be.
Christmas Party
Hugh Myddelton House’s Christmas party was in full swing with fancy dress, festive foods, live music and games, carol singers. Residents enjoyed a feast of festive foods prepared by the home’s chef, Christopher Abrigo and Rakshi. We organised a special party with musical entertainment by John.
