The wellbeing of our residents at Hallgarth Care Home, County Durham has never been more important. Last year, we implemented an exciting NEW Magic Moments Together activity programme across all Four Seasons Homes.

Magic Moments Together is a structured approach to the delivery of meaningful, considered activity provision with dedicated support and training for our team. We are passionate about creating vibrant, stimulating activities with an ever-changing programme built on resident’s past experiences and interests. 

The Northern Echo: This new initiative in our homes, most importantly, starts with increased support and training for our team.

As well as leading Magic Moments Together bite size training sessions with our current team members, we have also put in place a tailored induction for any new activity team members. Both are run by our Magic Moments Regional Support Team and are designed to ensure our activity programming includes consideration for meeting the needs of our residents around Mind, Body and Soul principles.

The Northern Echo: In addition, Hallgarth will benefit from the highly engaging interactive reminiscence resource called Our Yesterday. Regularly updated, residents can relive great times, listen to classic tunes and watch old film clips. Who doesn’t love a trip down memory lane?

Mind, Body & Soul Principles

The Northern Echo: Our programme encourages all-round wellbeing. In equal measure, the activities focus on keeping the mind sharp and agile, the body fit and mobile and the spirit lively and engaged through entertainment, challenges, discoveries and personal hobbies and pastimes.

Creating Magic

The Northern Echo:

We create magic indoors and outdoors, encouraging our residents to use our garden spaces as much as possible.  When we can, we are looking forward to getting out and about with trips to pubs, galleries and local events.  Although we can’t invite the usual steady stream of interesting people into our homes, we are finding new ways to re-engage with our local community organisations from local artists and musicians to animal therapists and beauticians.
