Activities at Florence Court Care Home

Our residents had a fantastic time painting beautiful sunflowers recently! Their creativity blossomed creating these cheerful flower canvasses, brining warmth and joy to our home.

Art activities like this not only brighten our walls but also lift our spirits, encourage self-expression and create wonderful moments together.

The sun was shining too in on our Activities Studio on a beautiful February day!


 

We held a role reversal day where residents became staff and staff became residents for the day! Residents stepped into the shoes of our staff by answering telephone calls, running the activities, doing house keeping tasks and even becoming the General Manager. A video was made and posted on social media demonstrating that they have what it takes to run the home!

This unique day bought laughter, learning and a whole lot of appreciation for our roles – Team work has never been such fun!

We rolled up our sleeves, sprinkled in some love and baked some utterly delicious Biscoff cupcakes!

Our residents had a wonderful time getting creative in the kitchen. From mixing in the ingredients to sharing traditional family recipes and of course taste testing ... but the smiles and laughter were the sweetest part of the day!

We arrange regular Baking Clubs within our beautiful home, this activity is enjoyed by residents across all our communities both Residential and our Memory Lane residents - individuals living with dementia. We select a theme and the produce is enjoyed by residents and staff!

Our residents were treated to Heated Vibrotherapy Massages with huge thanks to Gaston the Physiotherapist from the team at Prosalud Company.

The many benefits of this treatment were experienced by our residents with relaxed and happy smiles on their faces as their backs, feet and legs received the heated vibrations of the Vibrotherapy cushions. The physiotherapeutic treatments can aide fatigue, hip pain, sciatica, poor circulation, insomnia, swollen feet, asthma and muscle pain in addition to other ailments. 

Some of our own team enjoyed the treatments and noticed the benefits immediately.

We had a very special visitor to our Christmas Fayre ... Santa! He and his elf were the stars of the event (aka Abi, activities and Bob, carer)! Huge thanks to our maintenance and activities teams for the beautiful display inside and outside our home, they even created a grotto!

Christmas is such a special time in our home for our residents and their families and of course our teams. We so enjoy making our amazing home even more special at this time of year.

We were very grateful to the Team at the Solent Hotel and Spa, Whiteley for very kindly donating two sacks of daffodil bulbs to us. They visited our home with tools in hand and assisted our residents , staff and family members planting them in our garden on a beautiful but wintery sunny morning. 

We are all looking forward to the Spring when we will be able to appreciate the fruits of our labour. Our garden will be full of Spring colour in our borders, raised patio beds and garden pots.
