Activities at Hyacinth House Care Home

A big thank you to West Hill Donkeys, Weymouth’s award winning beach donkeys for your heart warming visit to our home.

With their festive hats on Annie & Dainty visited our residents, they received cuddles and brought smiles to all our faces.

One of our residents used to own a donkey and was so happy to see them, sharing her stories with us.

Simply adorable!

Residents are getting festive and a visit to the local Garden Centre always helps. With lights and decorations a plenty. Picking the very first Christmas made it a really special afternoon. It was back to the home to show everyone their wares and get decorating.

When its raining outside what better way to spend the afternoon than Board Games and cake with Friends. The residents at Hyacinth get a little competitive but its all good fun. 

Day 6 of our Countdown to Christmas brought us joy as we were visited by the delightful children from Play Days.

Elf Day at Hyacinth House was filled with festive cheer, Christmas tunes and playtime with colouring, dinosaur and mermaid toys, but the highlight was Margaret's storytelling of "The Happy Reindeer"

Each child received a gift and gave residents hugs and the biscuits went down a treat. Leaving us with big smiles and hearts filled with joy.

A very special thank you to Michelle and Trevor for bringing the children along and for making our residents and the Hyacinth's team day magical. We look forward to seeing you again soon!

We recently received delivery of our poppies from the Royal British Legion and are on display for purchase.

Margaret happens to be quite crafty and was interested in creating some beautiful poppies to add to the selection to help raise funds.

Margaret used the Sizzix machine with special glitter fabrics and then pieced it all together to make these fabulous poppies, the pictures really don't do them justice! We added them to the selection and they were quickly snapped up by residents and staff.

Margaret is thrilled to see everyone wearing them and to know her efforts has raised more funds for such an important charity.

Please stop by if you would like to collect a poppy and make a donation, if you'd like Margaret's special version, please send a message to let us know.

Last week we welcomed the community into our home for an afternoon full of fun and laughter. It was lovely to see residents and relatives join in alongside their grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Families brought in carved pumpkins for judging and children had the opportunity to decorate home-made spooky shaped biscuits, play musical bumps and colour some Halloween themed pictures, all whilst dressed in their best costumes.

Build your own burgers and hot dogs and hot chocolates were prepared by our head chef Howard and went down a treat, Deputy Manager Janet, took the task of being judge seriously as she awarded the best decorated biscuits, best fancy dress costume and the best carved pumpkin. Prizes presented were vouchers for Hobby Craft and of course, sweets!
