Celebrating life at Barchester

Hyacinth House and our sister home, Kings Park Care Home – Barchester Healthcare, recently went head-to-head in a fun resident challenge. 

Everyone was in great spirits, and there was friendly rivalry. A huge shout-out to our Angela, for being the absolute best leader and keeping everyone inspired.

Our talented chef, Boris, swapped his chef’s whites for a suit of a different kind to deliver an amazing, hands-on session on beekeeping. As a professional beekeeper, and his young son in training, he shared his fascinating insights, personal experiences, and unique skills with our residents and team. 

From learning about the inner workings of a hive to hearing first-hand stories about honeybees, everyone was completely captivated. Thank you, Boris, for sharing your passion and making the afternoon so special! 

What a wonderful afternoon we had celebrating this major milestone with our amazing residents, their friends and families, and our fantastic local community. We were also treated to an incredible performance by the legendary Scotty, whose singing had everyone smiling and singing along. 

A very special thank you goes out to our incredible staff members who worked so hard to put this event together, and to our catering team for providing food that was absolutely top-notch. We are so grateful for the warmth, laughter, and support that make Hyacinth House such a special place to call home. Here’s to many more years of wonderful memories together.

As September draws to a close, Hilton Park was delighted to welcome local MP Charlotte Cane for a special visit, where she had the opportunity to meet residents and join them in celebrating their creativity at their very own art exhibition.

Today, we had a wonderful afternoon at the Old Thatch pub with some truly lovely ladies. The conversation flowed so easily, and it was fascinating to learn all about everyone’s past careers and life experiences. Grateful for great company and wonderful stories.   

Our residents had a wonderful time taking simple plain coastal shells and transforming them into stunning, elegant home accents and trinket dishes.        

What a fantastic day of carnival celebrations! Our residents got creative, making their very own colourful carnival masks before dressing up and showing off their best carnival moves! 

There were plenty of smiles, laughter and dancing as everyone got into the carnival spirit! And to make the afternoon even more fun, we had a very special visitor … a giant inflatable clown!

He certainly caused a few laughs and made the celebrations extra memorable! A wonderful day filled with creativity, music, dancing and lots of carnival cheer!
