"A Fine Newcastle Under Lyme Care Home"

There’s a Song in my Heart

At Hempstalls Hall Care Home we know how important it is for our residents to have an active and stimulating lifestyle. Our dedicated activities team arrange and plan all the daily events, guided by what the residents would like. There’s an accent on music. For instance:

• Music hall shows with costumes
• Vera Lynn and Bob Hope songs
• Choir practice
• Serenades from singers

Take a look at our Facebook pages and see for yourself.

Non-dementia residents are free to come and go as they please, even if it is just a walk around the enclosed garden or to pop to the shops for a paper. We also arrange excursions to the local cinema and theatre for a bit of culture, as well as pub lunches and church services. Our qualified staff are very good at pampering sessions in our beauty parlour and hair salon, and they’re always up for a good old chat at the same time.

For the green fingered, there is a gardening club which is very involved in the planning and planting of the garden and raised beds. If not gardening, then you might find a game of badminton going on, or a spot of cheerleading, waving those pompoms. And if not playing games, then indulging in some home-made ice cream, or a nice cup of tea and a cake.

Hempstalls Hall Care Home is also active in the local community and the residents like to play their part by raising money for local charities and schools.

Fine Dining & Good Company

We make sure our residents have a balanced and nutritious diet. The in-house chef and team prepare all the food daily from fresh, local ingredients and take pride in the menu, often chatting to the residents to make sure they are on track. Residents sometimes hark back to their younger days and ask for dishes they had then, and the chef is happy to provide these, sometimes with a modern twist! There are always tasty home-baked snacks and fruit available through the day.

Mealtimes are the highlight of the day, and with gentle music playing in the background, residents can freely chat about their day and socialise. We serve wine or beer and provide a real sense of restaurant service. Family are also welcome to join us at any time, but they are especially welcome for meals with their relatives.
