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!

'Loneliness brings us together, NOT apart!' - Anne Anderson
An afternoon exploring the wonders of Oceanarium, Bournemouth.
Residents and staff enjoyed a trip out this afternoon. The marine life, especially the playful turtles and otters and feeding time with the penguins, captivated us all.
After our underwater journey, we couldn't resist a festive stroll to enjoy the beautiful Christmas displays at Bournemouth Park.
Eveline's (Famous) Christmas ginger trifle recipe!
After hearing about her cherished tradition and the usual request that she brings along her trifle to Christmas events and get togethers, we were excited to know more and try it.
Everyone pitched in to make it under her close eye, lots of laughter and reminiscing of Christmas traditions from over the years took place.
The result was absolutely delicious and did not disappoint!
Special thanks to Eveline for sharing your secret recipe; it will definitely be added to our tradition here at Hyacinth House!
