Activities at Arbour Court Care Home

Our specialist activities staff are committed to organising a variety of activities and events for all residents and the local community to get involved in, including trips out to local places of interest in our minibus, visits from entertainers and musicians and small group and individual activities in quiet yet stimulating environments. It is important to us that each individual who we support can get as much from these as possible, so we try our best to arrange activities that reflect resident individual interests as best as possible, and encourage them to participate in any way they can. We also encourage relatives to join with activities and events as often as they can.

Life at Arbour Court Care Home

, ,

Decorating the trees

We have loved spending time decorating our trees it gave us talk about Christmas with our families.

,

Baubles to loved ones

We have been painting our own Baubles to send to loved ones during the festive period.

Spending this time gave our residents the opportunity for festive fun and reminisce about their Christmas’s gone by.

Christmas cards

We have been writing our Christmas cards to our families and friends and reminiscing about our favourite Christmas memories from carols, family traditions, favourite foods and much more!

Christmas Jumper Day

We are helping to make the world a better place by wearing a festival jumpers today in aid of Save the Children’s annual fundraising event, Christmas Jumper Day.

Our residents have been encouraged to borrow or decorate their own special Christmas jumpers and raise awareness for children in need all around the world.

Some of our residents have been very creative and decorated their own glitzy knitwear with tinsel, stars, baubles and snowflakes.

It was a wonderful day, enjoyed by all.

Magic of the Nutcracker

We experienced the magic of the Nutcracker with a special interactive workshop led by English National Ballet Associate Artists.

Our residents were able to take a magical journey thorough Edwardian London and to learn more about the enchanted Nutcracker characters: Clara, the Mouse King, and her valiant Nutcracker doll.   The session included a chair-based dance workshop, clips of the ballet on stage and a Christmas carol sing-along, truly enjoyed by all.

Christmas truffles

We had a lovely time joining Paul Hawkins and Steve Wilkes from Unilever for an exciting immersive Christmas experience.

Our residents were welcomed with chocolate treats as Paul and Steve took them on an exciting chocolate truffle making and biscuit decorating journey.

To finish off the Christmas special event, our residents enjoyed a themed quiz and a singalong.

We all had a wonderful time.
