Activities at Hall Park Care Home

Our home is always full of life, and we can thank our wonderful Activities Coordinators for this. Dedication to creating a unique and interesting activities programme is what sets us apart from other homes. We always take into consideration that some people would prefer to pursue their own interests, which is why our team strive to incorporative activities that cater to a wide range of tastes and hobbies. Our trips out are always fun and exciting as well, and residents are guaranteed to return with stories to tell their loved ones!

Life at Hall Park Care Home

Dazzling Orchids gifted to everyone courtesy - Waitrose

We were overjoyed to see a dazzling spectacle of colourful Orchids at the entrance to the care home today. Every resident and member of staff received an early Mother’s Day gift when Waitrose delivered One Hundred Orchid Plants!

Daughter of Resident, Joyce Brown and Fruit, Veg & Horticultural Specialist, Lynn Fleet for Waitrose, Nottingham contacted the home to arrange the kind gestures that were a wonderful surprise for everyone leading up to Mother’s day. Ryan Spencer – Team Manager and Lynn Fleet – Horticultural Specialist worked very hard in their roles to make the community engagement a huge success.

We are all absolutely thrilled and feel very lucky to receive the Mother’s Day gifts from Lynn Fleet and Ryan Spencer at Waitrose in the local community and we just want to say a huge thank you.

It feels like we have our own Orchid exhibition here, everywhere in the home is looking so beautiful, colourful and full of life for Spring-time.

International Women's Day

Happy International Women’s Day! In recognition of the day, we commemorated the wonderful achievements of women around the world and celebrated with themed activates and colourful flowers.

Our residents took part in discussions about the role of many different women who have shaped history from Cleopatra and Boudica to Florence Nightingale and Marie Curie right through to the Queen and Mrs Thatcher.

In the afternoon we all had a nail spa pamper with Natasha

A games & quiz afternoon in the Bar

We all enjoyed a fantastic and very sociable get together.  We tested our knowledge with a fun  "Oomph" music themed quiz followed by a good ole sing along in our very own bar lounge.


Activities Coordinator Natasha was acting "landlady" and served a wide variety of refreshments throughout the fun filled afternoon!

Mini Bus Day Trips

In honour of World Wildlife Day we took an excursion on the home's minibus coordinated by the activities staff team

In the morning we took a drive down to Stonebridge City Farm to see some beautiful animals big and small.

We got great pleasure in feeding some of the animals and smelling the plants that are grown on the grounds and to finish off we sat and enjoyed a hot drink with a lovely piece of cake

Charmaine's Bakes

Second Chef, Charmaine has a great talent for making beautiful cakes as she worked as a baker for many years.  Baking is also her biggest passion!  We at Hall Park get the pleasure of sampling many different types of fantastic cakes and bakes!

National Heart Month - British Heart Foundation

The British Heart Foundation declares February as National Heart Month in the UK. During this time, awareness of a variety of heart conditions are brought to our attention and awareness is raised for our benefit.

Hall Park residents started the month well by taking part in a Smoothie Making Master Class using fresh fruit, vegetables and additional ingredients that we may not have thought to use in the past such as ginger.  All the ingredients are known to be good for the heart.

Throughout the month the residents will be taking part in exercise classes and gathering for discussion about keeping the heart healthy.
