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

Drinks & Nibbles

Drinks & Nibbles

Here at Hethersett Hall, residents have a weekly get-together every Friday night - we like to call it ‘Drinks & Nibbles’. It’s an opportunity for them to socialise, get to know each other and have a catch up about the weekly events.

On the Friday, residents choose a movie to watch as a group and they all meet in our TV lounge at around 6:30pm. Staff are also there to assist with serving a selection of drinks & nibbles. 

As with everything we do here at Hethersett Hall, our doors are always open for relatives, friends and loved ones, and you are all more than welcome to come and join us!

Resident, Patricia, can’t help but move her dancing feet! Here at Hethersett Hall, we really promote and encourage exercise and movement in all forms. We have recently started regular Zumba Gold classes and the residents love it. It really is fun and a great way to get people moving.

Welcome, Joe!

Welcome, Joe!

Thursday 30th March saw Hethersett Hall’s newest addition to its staff team with Joe the Greyhound joining the workforce and bringing delight to residents within our Memory Lane community.

Hethersett Hall is thrilled to be pioneering 'Pet Therapy' for those living with dementia, and Joe is a very welcome attraction for everyone here at the home. Joe is said to be “delighted” with his new role and is “enthusiastic – woof woof” about joining a successful team.

Joe’s favourite toys are his giraffe teddy, ball, sticks, twigs, rope and anything else he can play fetch with. We are delighted to be registered as a member of the Cinnamon Trust and we encourage all individuals living at home with their beloved pets to bring them along to see the amazing facilities we offer for owners and pets alike.
