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.

Life at Hilderstone Hall Care Home
Christmas Jumper Day
We enjoyed Christmas jumper day so much here at Hilderstone, we did it twice!! We decided to hold a competition on the second day for the most creative Christmas Jumper. With the residents making the final decision that Brogan one of our carers, was voted the winner after wearing 2 different outstanding outfits on both days.
Bonfire Night
In celebration of bonfire night the activities team and maintenance team put on quite the display of fireworks for our residents, families and the local village. Everybody enjoyed a sparkler, some hot soup followed by hotdogs or burgers. It was lovely night enjoyed by the whole home.
Remembrance Sunday
Our resident, Mary, kindly spent her time cutting out lots of small poppies for our display. Our activities team, work experience student, Charlotte, and admin assistant, Rachel and Mary, had a lovely afternoon putting up the display for our residents to pay their respects to on Remembrance Sunday.
Happy Birthday
Our resident, Richard celebrated his 66th birthday here with us, he enjoyed a morning with his family, followed by a lovely meal together with his fellow residents and friends making lots of happy memories.
Halloween Fun
Our residents here at the Hall had a brilliant time carving pumpkins, which were donated to us from our local Morrison’s. Our manager Liz had a tough decision deciding the winner after everyone did such a fantastic job!
Make a Wish
Our 'Make a Wish' scheme allows one resident each much to do anything they want to, so in light of Keith's wish, we had a lovely afternoon at Uttoxeter Racecourse. Although we only won on one course, we at least managed to stay dry. We look forward to going back forward.
