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
Macmillan Coffee Morning
We had a wonderful Macmillan Coffee Morning with residents, families, friends and staff members. The Hilderstone Hall team attended the event in their pyjamas and paid a donation. Residents decorated cakes in preparation for our bake sale. Prizes were given out by family members and we managed to raise £70 in total for the occasion.
Memory Walk
It turned out to be a great afternoon at Hilderstone Hall on Sunday 23rd September, which is when the 5 mile Memory Walk for the Alzheimer’s Society took place.
4 sisters, who are the daughters to one of the ladies who lives with us, arranged for the walk to take place, so while they all set off with their families, we did relay walks around the grounds with a few of our ladies, gentlemen and younger children.
NCS Visit
We had a wonderful surprise when a number of 16 year old boys and girls, who are part of the National Citizen Service, came to visit us. They chatted to our ladies and gentlemen about their interests and lives, and presented a box to each resident with personalised gifts inside. Everyone was very humbled and grateful for this very kind gesture!
Teddy Bear's Picnic
We had a lovely time at our teddy bear's picnic, which was set in our beautiful grounds. The sun was shining, the children were playing and the bears even behaved themselves – and we had great fun with the quiz and hunt. We had plenty of cake and juice and thoroughly enjoyed the day.
August Open Day
On Saturday the 11th August, we held an open day at Hilderstone Hall and welcomed lots of visitors, families and friends. We also hosted a teddy bear's picnic with live entertainment, so there was plenty of dancing taking place. Everyone had lots of fun!
Return to Amerton
We had another lovely trip out to Amerton Farm, where we got to enjoy tea and cake before looking around the craft centre and viewing the animals. One of our Carers also came with her little girl, Sienna, much to the pleasure residents.
