Activities at Hyacinth House Care Home
Our home is always full of life, and we can thank our wonderful Activities Coordinators for this. Dedication to creating a unique and interesting activities programme is what sets us apart from other homes. We always take into consideration that some people would prefer to pursue their own interests, which is why our team strive to incorporative activities that cater to a wide range of tastes and hobbies. Our trips out are always fun and exciting as well, and residents are guaranteed to return with stories to tell their loved ones!

Life at Hyacinth House Care Home
Enjoying a beautiful morning stroll at Upton Country Park.
We took in the invigorating fresh air and relished the opportunity to stretch our legs, surrounded in nature's beauty before indulging in some well-deserved refreshments at the tea-room. A cheeky robin was spotted up close seizing an opportunity for some cake on an outdoor table, much to our amusement.
During our walk around the walled garden, cherished gardening favourites, tips and own experiences was shared and we discussed how it will look in full summer bloom, well, we're looking forward to returning to see the transformation. Can't wait!
Tea for Endo
A big thank you to Kat Marsh for hosting the Tea for Endo event and to everyone who attended and contributed towards our charity fundraiser!
It was a morning filled with fun and laughter, prizes and of course, delicious cakes! Anne Griffiths showcased her beautiful Park Lane jewellery range adding extra sparkle to the day.
Endometriosis affects 1 in 10 women and it takes on average around 9 years to get diagnosed. With March being Endometriosis Action Month we were delighted to be asked to get involved. Anyone affected should visit https://www.endometriosis-uk.org/ for advice and support.
Delighted to welcome this fabulous group to Hyacinth House - The Empowered Women Do Co-working.
The Empowered Women Do Co-working morning hosted by Emma Collins and Claire Addiscott launched at Hyacinth House and went very well.
We were so pleased to offer our meeting room area for this group to work from, and grateful for their lovely feedback on our home.
Emma commented that it was a very productive morning with some great networking in the mix too! Gorgeous venue in a great location! The lounge was a great extra room for some colab conversations.

Let's spread some birthday cheer!
This week we had the pleasure of celebrating not one, but two of our wonderful residents' birthdays.
Arthur and Betty are both beloved members of our community at Hyacinth House and 'Celebrating Life' means celebrating our residents birthdays, however they wish. Visiting musician Richard Pearce treated them to individual renditions of Happy Birthday and of course our Chef prepared delicious birthday cakes.
We hope they enjoyed their special days and their personalised gifts, we give warm wishes for many more joyful birthdays ahead.
A trip to Poole Park
Residents and staff enjoyed a walk in Poole Park and were determined despite the weather! Residents stopped to watch the beautiful wildlife whilst sharing their experiences and memories. Tea and cakes were well deserved after the morning stroll.
