Activities at Hethersett Hall Care Home

Activities, hobbies and interests make up the most important part of our days and who we are as people. We provide a varied activities programme that reflects the interests and capabilities of all the individuals we support. All of the group and individual activities are designed to not only mentally and physically stimulate the people we care for, but to enhance their life skills and feelings of purpose and self-worth. We achieve this through a constantly updated activities programme and one-to-one sessions with residents that are tailored to suit individuals needs. We also offer a range of outings in our mini-bus.

Caroline Evans

Activities Coordinator

Hi, I’m Caroline Evans and I’ve been at Hethersett Hall for 7 years now and been in the care sector for 13 years and believed it was time for a change in my career at Barchester.

I’m extremely motivated for my new role as activities coordinator. I hope I will bring joy and fun to everyone’s daily lives. I am a highly active and bubbly person. Looking after other people has always been my priority and I will do my best every day to make sure everyone is happy, safe and smiling.

I look forward to meeting you and hope you will all join in the events and activities that I will bring to Hethersett Hall.

Life at Hethersett Hall Care Home

Methodist Singers

It was lovely after two years to welcome back our Hethersett Methodist Singers.

The last time they were here was outside during the pandemic, but recently they entertained our residents inside accompanied by a keyboard, with the words handed out in booklets we were all able to sing along with them.

Junior Ambassadors!

Junior Ambassadors!

Excited to welcome our new 'Junior Ambassadors' to the home, put in touch with us by Friend in Deed.

All 4 of our super kids are from nearby schools and they can’t wait to meet our residents, we look forward to welcoming them back to the home in November for our first after school club!

Pat the dog and check out the chickens!

Residents love our PAT dog Wesley, his calm temperament and adorable face is irresistible. 

A new hobby of our memory lane residents is chicken spotting, it has become quite a competitive sport as to who can spot them first, here they are bunkering down for a lovely mud bath in the garden

Is there a Doctor in the House?

Is there a Doctor in the House? 

Well, there was recently, one of our little visitors was Doctor Mcstuffin and took great care in making sure our residents were fighting fit, just look at the pictures!

After all that concentration a break was definitely needed, which came in the form of popping bubbles, fun for everyone!

Care home Choir

Yesterday we enjoyed the company of a collection of schools ,Sprowston Infant School, Norwich School and care homes via Zoom, two students wowed us with their musical talent as they took us through a variety of songs from musicals. Our residents enjoyed listening and singing a long a little, particularly the rendition of ‘if your happy and your know it’ from the younger children, our residents of course joining in! Thanks to Friend in Deed for setting it up

Round the River Bend

Recently we took residents for a trip on the broads with Broads Tours on their Queen of the Broads from Wroxham, even though there was a splatter of rain it didn’t dullen our spirits. We enjoyed listening to the knowledgeable tour guide as we had refreshments, spotted herons , plenty of beautiful on the broads houses and a lot of swans! After the trip it was back home for fresh ’proper’ fish and chips, which was well deserved!
