Life at Badgeworth Court Care Home
Buddy Holly Day
Today our home was transformed into a 50s diner to mark Buddy Holly Day.
In 1959, Buddy Holly died tragically in a plane crash near Clear Lake, Iowa, aged just 22 along with fellow musicians, Ritchie Valens and J.P. Richardson. He was a pioneering singer-songwriter, hailed as one of the greats of 1950’s American rock & roll, despite his short career.
Many of our residents are big Buddy Holly fans and still love his music. We had a fantastic day listening to his hits, finding out more about his life and enjoyed a bit of dancing too!
We all had a brilliant time reminiscing about our dance hall days too!
RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch
As part of the RSPB Big Garden Bird Watch residents at Badgeworth Court have been making our birds some delicious treats! It was rather messy but also great fun making feeders for our local visitors to enjoy. We placed the feeders all around the gardens and it has been really enjoyable to watch birds big and small come and enjoy the food, they are now expecting regular top ups!
Winter Walks
At Badgeworth Court Care Centre we enjoy spending time in the outdoors and whenever we can we take residents out for a winter walk. The grounds and gardens are always changing and we all love seeing the wildlife.

Afterwards, they were so pleased to have the Mini Concerts with our favourite Christmas songs, in the Main Lounge with mulled wine, mince pies and cakes provided to our fantastic Chef. There are always so many Christmas options for our residents. Thank you so much to our team for providing this wonderful day to our Badgeworth family.
