Activities at Badgeworth Court Care Home
Our Activities Coordinators provide a stimulating social programme to suit residents' individual tastes and desires, and offer group or one-to-one activities based on individual preferences. We are a dedicated team that always ensures residents have enough to do to keep them stimulated and entertained. There are regular trips out on the minibus to nearby places of interest, and exercise classes to suit people of all capabilities, in addition to much, much more.

Life at Badgeworth Court Care Home
World Book Day
To celebrate World Book Day this year, our staff came to work in their pyjamas and donated money to the residents' fund. All residents thought it was very funny seeing the staff come to work dressed like this; and it made the home look very bright and cheerful all day. We also spent some time talking about our favourite books and why we like them.
Paw Print Biscuits
Food based activities are always popular and so are animals. We decided to combine the two into one activity and made some lovely paw print biscuits with chocolate buttons. It was as much fun easting them as it was making them, and gave us all the opportunity to talk about our pets and animals we like as well.
Chinese New Year
Here at Badgeworth we welcomed the Chinese year of the Pig in with an afternoon of Chinese foods, masks and fortune cookies. We enjoyed experiencing the different flavours with sweet and sour being a favourite. We all laughed at what the fortune cookies said would happen for us this year.
For the Love of Music
We invited a local folk music group into our home to hold their rehearsals in our lovely lounge. They happily let residents sit and watch them whilst they rehearsed and then enjoyed a cup of tea and slice of cake with them afterwards. This event was really popular with lots of residents who enjoyed listening to the different folk songs and singing along to many of them.
Puzzle Club
One of the newest additions to the activity calendar here at Badgeworth Court is our Puzzle Club. Residents love doing jigsaw puzzles and requested a chance to sit with staff to do them with a cup of tea and a biscuit. We enjoy doing lots of different puzzles and some residents love to challenge themselves with extra difficult puzzles.
Blankets and Twiddle mitts
We have been very lucky here at Badgeworth Court to have been donated some beautiful handmade blankets, fiddle muffs and cushions. These were all made by the Young Women’s group at Gloucester’s Church of Latter Day Saints. These will brighten up the communal areas of our home and provide sensory comfort and stimulation for our residents.
