Activities at Florence Court Care Home
Activities are the cornerstone of a wholesome home experience, and our Activities Coordinators are always putting their creative minds to the test by organising new and exciting social events for residents to partake in. Of course, we take into account the likes and dislikes of those we support, so if someone doesn’t feel like trying something new, there will always be something on offer to reflect their personal interests. For the people who may just prefer some peace and quiet instead, we also offer one-to-one time that can be enjoyed with a nice cup of coffee or just a simple chat – whatever they desire.
Jessica Duery
I have been working in the Care Sector for 5 years and started out as a Domestic and Laundry Assistant. I decided that I wanted to progress my career in an Activities capacity so became an activities provider then progressed to an Activities Co-Ordinator which I did for 2 years prior to joining the team at Florence Court . I have a real passion for Activities and get a great deal of pleasure in enriching the residents life's through meaningful activities. I love getting to know the residents and spending time with them finding out what they love to do. Every day is very different and rewarding.

Life at Florence Court Care Home
Mothers Day Celebrations
" Life doesn't come with a manual. It comes with a Mother"
We hope everyone had a lovely Mother's day ! Our home was beautifully decorated with fresh flowers and bunting in recognition. We enjoyed celebrating with our loved ones over delicious afternoon tea prepared by our wonderful kitchen team. The home was filled with smiles and laughter all round as we honoured all the mothers in our home
St Patrick's Day fun and frolics
Happy St Patrick's Day Today we celebrated with our favourite Friday afternoon activity...cocktails and quiz; Irish themed this week in recognition of the patron Saint. The home was decorated with shamrocks and we all enjoyed 'fuzzy leprechaun' cocktails whilst exploring Irish culture
A trip to the Sea
Oh I do like to be beside the seaside
This afternoon we made the most of the sunny weather with a minibus trip down to Lee-on-the-Solent. A short walk on the seafront taking in the fresh sea air was followed delicious tea and cake in a local cafe Everyone said what a wonderful afternoon they'd had and that it was very enjoyable!
Employee of the Month
Lisa was really thrilled to be surprised by the team and awarded our Employee of the Month of March. She has been supporting our training sessions to ensure everyone is up to date and confident. Well Done Lisa!
Just a walk in our garden
Cali the dog is a regular visitor to us and just loves his time with residents and staff. He especially enjoys his walks with Elsie but that may have something to do with her pocket full of yummy treats!
Nursery School children visit again
Our visits with Woodlands Early Learning are always so enjoyable! This week we played games, did some arts and crafts and sang nursery rhymes. Our residents love spending time with the children and are very much looking forward to our next visit
