Activities at Cookridge Court Care Home

Sunday night Cookridge Court cheered on our favourite team throughout the euros. Our home has been decorated with flags, as we enjoyed all the football action from the past three weeks.

After a brilliant performance of Gareth’s boys in the semi-final match against Denmark, we were all very excited to watch the final of the UEFA Euro 2020 against Italy at Wembley Stadium. 

Unfortunately, it was not the result we wanted but we supported and cheered England’s players during the fantastic final and we all raised a glass of fizz to congratulate them on getting to the final. It was a lovely experience, enjoyed by all. 

Residents and staff are delighted to welcome back our indoor Archery classes.

Our residents got their game faces on - it was competition time of who could score the highest. Everyone had brilliant morning with a high number of bullseyes been hit. 

Here at Cookridge Court we love adapting activities to tailor everyone’s requests - not everyday you get to hit bullseye indoors.

Residents and staff were thrilled to watch the semi-final match of the UEFA European Championship between England and Denmark, even if it was a little tense!

We decorated our home with flags and banners for the special occasion. Our residents enjoyed delicious treats and refreshments as they supported England’s national team.

We all got involved in themed games, quizzes and conversations and raised a glass of fizz to congratulate England for their great win. We look forward to seeing them in the Final on Sunday and we hope it's coming home!

Residents at Cookridge Court took a wonderful virtual trip to Iceland’s Puffin Rescue Centre at the Beluga Whale Sanctuary.

We were able to virtually meet some of the rescued Atlantic Puffins and to learn interesting facts about their care and unique lives.

We took a peek into their lives in the wild, the Puffling rescue program in the Westman Islands, and how SEA LIFE Trust Beluga Whale Sanctuary’s team takes care of these charismatic little birds each day.

It was a very exciting experience, enjoyed by all.

Residents at Cookridge Court celebrated 4th of July in true American Style. Our home was decorated with themed flags and we hosted an American lunchtime cuisine and an Independence Day themed quiz to mark the occasion.

We enjoyed listening to some of the all-time favourite American hits, as we gathered together for classic hot dogs, burgers & macaroni cheese, followed by some refreshing beverages.

It was a wonderful day all around.
