Activities at Hethersett Hall Care Home

We had a lovely visit from Jane this week; Jane’s mother and father live here at Hethersett Hall.

Jane came in, as she often does, but wanted to say a special thank you to Ariana, our Activities Coordinator.

Jane was overwhelmed by how thoughtful and person-centred the Christmas gifts that Ariana had bought for her mum and dad were.

Ariana had put a lot of thought and effort into each individual set of Christmas presents she had bought for every resident to make this special time of year even more magical.

Every Sunday at Hethersett Hall, before the residents sit down to their Sunday lunch, they enjoy a glass of wine or a gin & tonic with some delicious canapés prepared by our chefs.

Everyone recently gathered in the library for a good old natter and a little tipple as our lovely Christmas decorations transformed the room. It was a very happy and festive time.

Here at Hethersett Hall, we have all been getting into the Christmas spirit. Residents and our amazing staff have all been having a lot fun together putting up the trees and decorations in preparation for this very magical time of year. Please pop in at any time to have a look around and grab yourself a hot drink to warm up, a minced pie to fill up and help us to keep everyday packed with festivities and smiles! 

Every week at Hethersett Hall, Bella, our yoga instructor, stops by to host a yoga session for residents. The class is something that residents look forward to as a way of keeping fit and healthy and also as a way to socialise with each other. Bella's class is appropriate for all residents of different abilities, including those with physical ailments. Bella also brings along her dog, Monty, whom usually snuggles into the nearest chair available to watch. The residents adore Monty and are always calling him, trying to get his attention.

On Friday 3rd November, we celebrated Bonfire Night and Halloween (for a second time!) here at Hethersett. We had a fire dancer performing a show for us outside in our garden, with residents sat on the veranda wrapped up in blankets and enjoying hot chocolates as we got into the mood of the evening.

The night began with hot dogs and spooky desserts that were prepared by our kitchen team. We played many Halloween games, where residents and their loved ones were able to win some delicious sweets, dress up in Halloween costumes and dare to try out our spooky 'Halloween feel box'.

On the 31st October, staff and residents had great fun dressing in their scariest outfits for Halloween! We saw devils, witches and even walking, talking pumpkins! Along with dressing up, we did Halloween crafts and carved some pumpkins.

It was a great day in which everybody enjoyed the chance to show their dark sides.
