Activities at Hall Park Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.
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!
Natasha Lindo
Natasha is the Activities Coordinator here at Hall Park. Natasha really enjoys her job as no two days are ever the same. The life enrichment and daily activities program aims to provide stimulation for the mind, body and soul by engaging with residents daily. We all love to use our imagination and here we encourage creative activities. We also have a minibus which is used weekly to take residents out to cafes, local beauty spots and day trips.
Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies
Life at Hall Park Care Home
World Mental Health Day
We celebrated World Mental Health Day in style this year by treating some of our residents to a spa experience with relaxing music.
Natasha and Fay gave the residents relaxing hand massages, as well as a make-up and nail care session for some of the ladies. We also did some facials, using our products donated from Julie and Ash, Daughter and Son-in-Law of our resident Pearl.
Resident Gwen said “it is the first time I have been given a facial, which was one of the best activities I've done at Hall Park” and she couldn’t stop laughing when we showed her the photo of herself with the bunny face mask on!
Natasha has agreed with the residents that she will do more spa activities in the future as she is a experienced Spa Therapist, and they all loved it so much.
Barchester Care Awards
Our staff and residents at Hall Park had a fantastic day watching the Barchester 2023 Care Awards and cheering on our nominees, Wayne and Jamie.
Jamie was nominated for Maintenance of the Year and Wayne was nominated for Garden of the Year. Both were Divisional Winners which is an amazing achievement, and got to travel to Manchester for the National Finals which was live-streamed to us at Hall Park, and we all got to watch and cheer them on! They unfortunately didn’t win this year but we are so proud of them both for getting nominated in their categories, and know they'll both work hard to achieve their nominations again next year!
You both are winners to us at Hall Park and we are so grateful for all the great work you do around the home and garden.

National Art in Care Homes Week
We have had a busy week so far at Hall Park creating some beautiful at artwork for National Art in Care Homes week. We've done things such as geometric painting which our residents enjoyed doing, and on Memory Lane we had a reminiscing music session where we danced like no one was looking and shared memories about our favourite songs!
Today we made a start of making our outfit made from recycled materials found around the home and we will have the great reveal of our super work in a fashion show! Watch this space...
Mexican Independence Day
Hall Park residents and staff enjoyed celebrating Mexican Independence Day this week!
Our residents watched a lovely video filled with fun facts about Mexico and we all tasted delicious Mexican cocktails and had fun playing the Mexican traditional game of smashing the piñata.
It’s was a lovely day, enjoyed by all.
