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
Arts and crafts are a regular hit
Residents can take part in weekly craft sessions such as art, flower arranging, cookery, knitting and sewing clubs and art classes. These sessions increase creativity and stimulate the development of new skills. This week, for example we have enjoyed some Christmas themed card making and some winter floral arranging
Wreaths, fun and a little competition
Residents and staff had such fun making wreaths to place on their doors. It got a little competitive and the end result was that they were all winners! Merry Christmas
Gingerbread house making
Yesterday we enjoyed a watching a Barchester live virtual event; a gingerbread house demonstration. Followed by a team gingerbread House competition with residents and staff🏘. We think they look good enough to eat .Yum !
School choir a pleasure
Today we enjoyed a lovely performance of some Christmas carols by the year 6 students at West Hill Park School. Residents loved hearing them sing, it brightened up our afternoon and added lots of festive cheer
Christmas Fayre a huge Success
Our Christmas Fayre was such a success. With Treats, stalls, hot chocolate and festive treats- all topped off with a visit from the man in red and his helpers. A wonderful day to be had by all.
Christmas Light Switch on was a great success
What a lovely evening at our Christmas light switch on last night
We enjoyed some festive carols with singer, Amanda, followed by delicious food and mulled wine, then we all bundled up to go outside and countdown the switch on of our tree
Massive thank you to the activity and maintenance team for all the planning and decorations, the kitchen team for a wonderful festive buffet and the care team for helping everyone and making sure all our residents comfortable and enjoying themselves
