Annual Firework celebration!

A big thank you to everyone who attended our annual fire work event this year at Badgeworth Court.

It really was a special event to remember Becky, who was a cherished part of Badgeworth Court for many years.

A big thank you for all your donations to Charlie's,a local charity that supports families affected by cancer.

At Badgeworth Court we love opening our home up and hosting events that friends and family can join us for. Shared experiences are the best experiences and we ensure that our residents remain connected with their loved ones whilst they live with us.

Autumn Flower Arranging

Our lovely residents have been getting busy and really into the spirit of autumn and have spent their afternoon flower arranging with Pumpkins!

It was a brilliant afternoon and our residents thoroughly enjoyed discussing the different flowers and how these change through the seasons.

We love crafty afternoons at Badgeworth Court, its always lovely to see the master pieces that our residents create.

Ballroom Dancers at Badgeworth

We were so excited to welcome Jenny and Terry, who are ex professional ball room dancers. 

It was such a lovely afternoon for our residents, with many of them reminiscing about their own times spent on the dance floor.

They dazzled our residents with the performance and of course their professional costumes.  It was such a pleasure to see our residents swaying along to the music and even joining Jenny and Terry for a dance.

One of the cornerstones of our life enrichment program is live musical entertainment. Resident involvement in choosing genres along with feedback after each performance means that we are able to constantly improve our activities calendar.

We raised a great amount of £74 to put towards an incredible cause. 

A big thank you to PianoHedgehog for providing the entertainment. It was so heart-warming to see so many of our lovely residents up dancing and singing along!

We love opening our home up and hosting events that friends and family can join us for. Shared experiences are the best experiences and we ensure that our residents remain connected with their loved ones whilst they live with us.

All Aboard!

Our residents at Badgeworth Court had a brilliant time recently when we set sail on our virtual Cruise Ship.

This unique event really was a showstopper!  The brilliant Sadie was our tour guide and took us on a reminiscing journey with classics from across the decades.

Of course the experience would never be complete without some tasty dishes and our talented hospitality team really did pull out all the stops and provided a selection of mouth-watering dishes inspired by destinations from around the globe!

The smiles and laughter from all our residents said it all, it really was an evening to remember.

The methods and mediums may change but the heart of live music - the communal joy, the shared emotions, the collective energy - remains untouched. 

Exotic Encounter

We have been busy getting up close and personal to some exotic animals!

The incredible team from ZooLab brought in their extraordinary creatures for our intrigued residents to admire.

What an experience it was getting up close and personal with these beautiful creatures. There was such a variety and we got the pleasure to learn about them all.

We had Guinea Pigs , Insects and even a Corn Snake made an appearance!

It was great to get an insight into these amazing animals behaviours, our residents even at the opportunity to hold them.

Animal therapy is one of the cornerstones of our life enrichment program and features regularly on our resident-led weekly activity planner.
