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
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
Little Visitors
After such a long time, we were so pleased to welcome back Little Visitors from Friend in Deed on Friday 8th October. The atmosphere in our lounge was wonderful, with so many happy faces. Our residents had such a lovely time making new friends and playing games.
We will have a Friend in Deed session each Friday morning at 10:45am, all welcome to join us. To keep everyone safe all visitors must complete an LFD test and register online prior to arriving at the home.
Art Exhibition
Residents enjoyed an art exhibition showing off the amazing work 4 of our budding artists have produced over 14 months.
The quality of the work speaks for itself and it's astounding to think some of the artists have never done any type of artwork at all!
There was cheese and wine to be enjoyed after the event, and Lucinda the harpist was playing in the foyer as people arrived.
The support our residents had from not just their relatives but the local community and Friend in Deed was outstanding and was an amazing well-being boost for everyone involved – we’re so proud!
Dementia Champion
Lee Sharpe has beaten all the competition to be crowned Dementia Champion in the Barchester Care Awards 2021.
The Barchester Care Awards celebrate the staff who go the extra mile for the benefit of the 12,000 residents living in Barchester’s 248 care homes and private hospitals across the country. Categories range from ‘Registered Nurse of the Year’ and ‘Carer of the Year’ to ‘Dementia Care Champion’ and ‘Activities Coordinator of the Year’.
More than 2,900 nominations were received from homes and hospitals across the UK. All entries were a very high standard and Lee is over the moon to have been named the national winner in this category.
Circus Extravaganza!
When COVID-19 reared its ugly head last year, our plans for a circus themed fete were dashed, but as this year rolled round and restrictions were lifted, our disappointment turned to joy when we learned we could start planning for the summer fete again!
What a day it was on Saturday 18th September. The weather was spectacular, the turnout was amazing and it was lovely to see pockets of residents with their family and friends smiling and enjoying themselves.
We had circus-themed games like bottle toss and coconut shy to name a few, BBQ, magic and circus shows, including juggling and unicycle riding.
A huge thank you to everyone involved, can’t wait for the next event!
Queen of the Broads
On Friday 24th September, we were delighted to see the sun shining through, as we set off to Wroxham for a lovely tour on the Broads.
Residents from Memory Lane and Main Hall were thrilled to see lots of wildlife along the river bank. After the tour, all 20 residents and staff tucked into some delicious fish and chips from one of Wroxham's finest takeaways. It was a very special day for us all, and a great end to the summer.
Thank you to our amazing team for making it happen!
Armchair Zoo
Chris from Zoolab arrived at our home with all sorts of animals, including a baby rat, a corn snake called Casper and a breed of gecko, which is the biggest in the world, to name just a few.
Our residents took the bull by the horns, for want of a better word, and handled pretty much everything! It was a fantastic sensory experience overall!
