Activities at Iddenshall Hall Care Home

Activities here at Iddenshall Hall are an integral part of every day life for each of our residents. We strive to include as many of our residents as possible with the activities schedule. Our Schedule is released monthly and includes activities such as poetry afternoons, indoor games, Bingo, flower arranging, pamper days, quizzes, exercises, various musicians and entertainers, Pat Dog Visits, Music Therapy, discussion groups and trips out in our minibus to local places of interest and further afield to see the Blackpool Lights or to Knowsley Safari Park.

We are constantly asking the people who live in our home which events they would like to see taking place and we endeavor to fulfill these requests. Our aim is to provide a varied and packed schedule which allows for a vast array of skill bases and capabilities. We are in constant contact with local groups and businesses, the local Beaver Scout group are always happy to pay a visit to our home, helping with the garden or coming at Christmas to sing carols for us. We also have a small group of volunteers to help us, including pupils from our local 6th form College who visit once a week.

All the above helps ensure the lives of our Residents are fun and fulfilled.

Christmas Coffee Afternoon

Christmas Coffee Afternoon

On the 18th of December we held our Christmas Coffee Afternoon at Tarvin Community Centre.

There was a surprise visit from Santa, much to everyones delight. We had a pianist there who played Christmas Carols for us all to sing along to. We served warm Danish Pastries and Mince Pies and everyone enjoyed a warm cup of Tea or Coffee.

We had lots of guests on the day, especially some children from the local toddler group and Infant school who enjoyed playing amongst the residents and local community guests. It was a great turn out and we had plenty of help from the volunteers at the Community Centre.

Thank you everyone who attended and helped out. We look forward to seeing more of you all in the upcoming months.
