Activities at Hilderstone Hall Care Home
Our activities team are, first and foremost, devoted to each and every resident in the home, and strive to ensure that their interests, hobbies, capabilities and individual requests are met to the highest standard. This could include one-to-one chats, hand massages, reading, music therapy, flower arranging, movement to music, arts & crafts, gardening and baking. We also have regular fun, adventurous and stimulating trips, where we encourage families and loved ones to join us. We have close links with the Alzheimer's Society, the local primary school, and Trinity Skills who come to sing with residents. All the staff at Hilderstone Hall participate in activities with residents, offering encouragement, stimulation and interaction for everyone involved, providing the most fulfilling experience possible.

Remembrance Sunday
Residents have contributed in a number of ways to commemorate Remembrance Sunday and Remembrance Day.
Residents in Memory Lane crafted 3D Poppies to tastefully decorate a display of First World War poetry. Other residents made their own painted poppies and wrote poppy cards in memory of family members and others who served in the armed forces. A further display was created, to spell out the message – “Lest We Forget” along with a poppy clock set to 11:00am
On the 11th itself, residents will come together to mark a two minute silence and to listen to readings of War poetry.
