Activities at Scarborough Hall Care Home
Activities are the cornerstone of a wholesome home experience, and our Activities Coordinators are always putting their creative minds to the test by organising new and exciting social events for residents to partake in. Of course, we take into account the likes and dislikes of those we support, so if someone doesn’t feel like trying something new, there will always be something on offer to reflect their personal interests. For the people who may just prefer some peace and quiet instead, we also offer one-to-one time that can be enjoyed with a nice cup of coffee or just a simple chat – whatever they desire.

Life at Scarborough Hall Care Home
Queen's official birthday celebrations
Scarborough Hall Care Home in Scarborough marked the Queen’s official 95th birthday on June 11th in style with a right royal tea party.
Head chef Luke whipped up a tasty selection of freshly-baked biscuits, pastries and cakes for the occasion, all washed down with pots of tea. Residents took part in a variety of royal–themed events including a Royal quiz, Royal Exercise club, watching virtual tours of royal palaces and a high tea party and sing a long
Charlotte Nurse, General Manager at Scarborough Hall said: “Our residents love a party and they love the Queen so they all enjoyed the tea and cakes and watching the Trooping of the Colour parade to mark the Queen’s official birthday. Lots of our residents have made cards and written to the Queen which is a lovely way to say thank you to our longest reigning monarch. Many of our residents are 100+ and were delighted to receive their telegrams from the Queen, so they wanted to acknowledge her birthday too.”
Carers week
Happy Carers Week! We would like to take this great opportunity to recognise and thank our wonderful carers here at the home.
We are proud of each and every one of our care team for the outstanding care that they provide to our residents every single day. They always go above and beyond their role and for this we are truly grateful.
National Trust talk
Our homes had a fantastic time joining National Trust Talks Service team at Cliveden House for an inspirational talk on Nancy Astor – the first woman to take a seat in the House of Commons.
Our residents had the opportunity to learn more about the fascinating life of Nancy and her political career. As the first women MP, she experienced both attention and scandal throughout her life, which led to many triumphs and numerous disasters. The talk was truly enjoyed by all.
Ferndown florist demo
Our homes had a lovely time joining Sue and Nicole from Ferndown Florist for an intriguing flower arrangement workshop in celebration of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
Our residents enjoyed a wonderful virtual demonstration and got inspired to create their own flower posies for our Jubilee displays. Our home will be specially decorated for the upcoming festivities. Stay tuned.
Celebrations fit for a Queen
Excitement has been running high at Scarborough Hall Care Home in Scarborough where residents and staff have been busy making Jubilee-themed decorations and baking up a storm of red, white and blue cakes and pastries with the help of head chef [insert name] in preparation for the Jubilee.
Staff and residents at the home put their heads together and came up with a plan for their celebrations fit for a Queen. Over the bank holiday weekend the home held an indoor street party were we had Lori Kellet hosting singalong to wartime classics.
