Life at Hilderstone Hall Care Home
Live musical performance
Here at Hilderstone Hall we do our best to provide a wide range of activities and entertainment as part of the homes lifestyle enrichment programme and resident centred activities.
We welcomed back ‘Elvis’ for an afternoon of song as he performed a selection of classic hits including, Jail House Rock and Hound Dog which residents sang, and clapped along to before enjoying a refreshing cup of tea and a slice of homemade cake.
The 'Ukulele Man'
Residents at Hilderstone Hall were delighted to welcome Tim, ‘Ukulele Man’ to the home for a live performance. Everyone enjoys their music and live entertainers. Coral Brown, Deputy Manager said: “It was brilliant to see the residents light up when the music started and to see and hear them singing along to the songs they knew!”
St Patrick's Day
We celebrated St Patrick’s Day in recognition of the patron saint and national apostle of Ireland. The home was decorated with shamrocks and we all enjoyed exploring the Irish culture through a variety of themed activities.
Our residents marked the day by making shamrock decorations; learning some Irish words and phrases whilst listening to Irish music. Our talented chef prepared a fantastic spread of traditional Irish dishes for all to enjoy, all washed down with Guinness and Irish whiskey. Our residents had a brilliant day today.
The King is in the building!
Our home was transformed into Graceland as we welcomed the ‘King’ for an afternoon of song and dance with a popular entertainer.
It is estimated that Elvis has sold over one billion records worldwide so to honour the undisputed King of Rock & Roll, we all enjoyed a fantastic afternoon of music, fun and dancing.
Our residents found out some interesting facts about Elvis that they haven’t heard before, and everyone had a wonderful time.
Love is in the air!
Love was in the air at Hilderstone Hall as residents and staff celebrated Valentine’s Day. Our home was filled with flowers, cards, balloons and decorations as we celebrated the day of love in style with sweet treats and gifts.
We marked the day by having a conversation about romantic moments in people’s lives and some live entertainment. Our residents had the opportunity to taste delicious themed sweet and savoury treats, prepared by our talented chef, whilst listening to all-time favourite love songs.
It was a lovely day and it was wonderful to see everyone go to so much effort to get involved with the day’s festivities.
