A live cooking demonstration with Chef

We had a lovely time joining Chef Alex Connell from Vegetarian for Life for a Halloween-inspired virtual cooking demo. Alex demonstrated how to prepare a few themed dishes, such as root vegetable tagine, roasted butternut squash mac-n-cheese, chocolate pots with piped biscuits and flapjacks. Our residents were delighted to be a part of this lovely virtual culinary session by tasting the vegetarian dishes from the comfort of our home

Clinical lead nurse raises monies for charity

Divisional Clinical Lead Nurse at Hilderstone Hall put the ‘fun’ into ‘fundraising’ with a charity trek to raise money for the Alzheimer’s Society on Trek26 2021.

Tracy Elmer, Divisional Clinical Lead Nurse graduated in 1999 as a Registered General Nurse from Birmingham University. Tracy embarked on the epic 26 mile trek from Penrith in August and raised a grand total of £665.00 for the charity she is very passionate about and which is very dear to her heart.

Anna Paule, Operations Manager at Hilderstone Hall said: “Everyone at Barchester North Division and at Hilderstone Hall care home was keen to show Tracy support on her Trek, especially the residents who enjoyed hearing all about the experience. Trek26 is a great cause that helps many people living with Alzheimer’s which is a cause very close to the hearts of all our staff and residents. We are really proud of Tracy who completed the Trek in an impressive time of just 9 hours and 10 minutes and of course, to have been able to raise this money. Thank you to everyone who donated!”

Creative writing

We had a great time joining journalist and novelist, Mike Gayle, for an intriguing virtual interview, during which he shared top tips for creative writing with our residents and read passages from his latest book, All the Lonely People.

We were thrilled to find out about Mike’s background, to understand what led him to become a writer and his creative process.

It was a lovely talk, enjoyed by all, especially by our keen writers at the home.

A Cheese & Wine Social Afternoon

We all look forward to getting together at Hilderstone Hall's Social events and Cheese and Wine afternoons are no exception. Regular themed social events keep us smiling, connected and engaged with each other! A wonderful selection of delicious cheeses were served in the bistro by Hostess, Joanne who presented some old favourites and some new tastes for everyone to sample.

Exploring Amerton Farm

Amerton Farm, Staffordshire is the perfect place to spend a fun filled morning or afternoon seeing animals, gaining inspiration for new ideas for crafting, shopping and exploring the vast estate. Residents were thrilled that there was so much to see and do that we will return frequently by popular request!

A Day Trip to Trentham

We have been making the most of the autumn weather by taking a few minibus trips for delightful outings . Residents had a wonderful trip to Trentham Gardens where we could take in the beautiful surroundings, indulge in a spot of shopping and dine alfresco for lunch. Regular trips out to places of interest is all part of the monthly programme of events and activities on offer to residents.
