Activities at Hethersett Hall Care Home

Regular trips to local attractions and other excursions are important parts of our life enrichment program and feature often on our resident-led activity planners. 

Our residents enjoyed a nostalgic trip on a vintage red bus which picked them up from Hethersett Methodist Church and took the scenic route to Thetford garden centre. Everyone enjoyed a lovely lunch, tea and cake together. On the way home all joined in for a sing along.

This sort of activity is made possible through our links with our local community partners and is essential to help us deliver our life enrichment program. We would like to thank the our local Methodist friends for inviting us to come along for the day. 

Supporting residents to enjoy outings, shopping, meals out and other trips is a key aspect of the weekly activities calendar. 

This week some of our Residents decided they would like to update their wardrobes and fancied some Retail Therapy. We enjoyed a busy afternoon visiting the City of Norwich, including Chapelfield Shopping centre. Whilst visiting the array of shops available who couldn't resist a cappuccino? Then more shopping, choosing cards for loved ones and getting ready for autumn with some comfy warm slippers.

Ensuring our Residents continue to feel independent and enjoy doing they things that they love is always a feature of our life enrichment programme.

Everyone meet Fudge.

Fudge is our new Pat Dog, we met Fudge and Belinda at our local cafe one morning, Fudge took a shine to one of our lovely residents so we got chatting and agreed that fudge could come visit us and now look at us we are having lots of cuddles, Fudge really does bring happiness to all of us at Hethersett hall we can’t wait to see Fudge again.

Fudge really did appreciate the cuddles and the doggie bar he gets spoilt with lots of treats. Woof

Hethersett Hall Care Home in Hethersett enjoys weekly art classes with Juli Mobbs.  Juli holds the weekly art class every Tuesday morning. Everyone is welcome. A resident that joins in weekly said ‘Some of us started off not knowing how to draw or paint. Look at us now, we are fine artists, and we are proud of everything we do. 

A big thank you, Juli, for your bubbly personality, support and guidance. You make our Tuesday mornings extra special. We look forward to seeing you each week.’
