Activities at Iris Court Care Home
Activities are an integral part of life at our care home. We want to ensure that the people we support have as much fun as possible during their time with us, so it’s important that our activities programme is created with the interests of residents in mind. Our skilled Activities Coordinators will bring a certain uniqueness to the home that can’t be found anywhere else, and which is reflected in the activities they organise.
Natalie Robinson
Hello, I'm Natalie, and for nearly five enriching years, I've dedicated myself to the role of an activity coordinator. My passion lies in understanding the unique interests of each individual under our care. At Iris Court, I strive to craft activities tailored to the preferences of our residents, ensuring no one ever feels socially isolated. Whether someone wants to participate minimally or fully immerse themselves, my goal remains constant: fostering a sense of community and joy in every moment.
I eagerly anticipate sharing in the magic moments that weave through everyday life at Iris Court. Families play a vital role in our activities, and I'm thrilled at the prospect of seeing everyone come together. Through meaningful engagement and personalised experiences, I aim to create an environment where residents feel not only supported but truly valued.
Join me as we embark on this journey of connection, laughter, and shared experiences. Together, let's create cherished memories that will illuminate the path ahead. Welcome to Iris Court, where every day holds the promise of something special.

Life at Iris Court Care Home
Out To The Garden Centre In The Sunshine
A morning at the beautiful Vanstones Garden Centre had us out exploring this morning. We paused the shopping to grab a cup of coffee and some delicious cake before stocking up on supplies for our gardening club. The glorious weather had residents saying we picked the perfect day.
Watch this space to see what our residents create in our stunning gardens this summer.
Fabulous Entertainment
Friday saw us being entertained by the Fabulous 3 Company who had us singing and dancing along! The weekend was filled with pampering and boules in the garden.
The History Of Cadbury
This week we have enjoyed a behind the scenes look into the history of Cadbury. This fascinating insight into one of the nation's most famous and beloved companies.
Cadbury was kind enough to send us samples of chocolates and packaging from throughout their history - our residents were delighted to explore the memories of these traditional paper wrapped chocs and how the marketing has changed over the years.
Still a glass and a half of milk in each though!
Having Fun whilst training
The new team at Iris Court have been really getting stuck in to their training over the past 3 weeks and just have one more week to go. As a bit of a wind down the team had a fun activity at the end of the week to unwind from all the great sessions they had completed. Our trainers Sadie and Kieran have said that the team have been fantastic over the past 3 weeks, really engaging with all of the sessions and getting involved. The team can not wait for the first arrivals from the end of the month where they can put all of their new learnings in to use and provide our wonderful person centred care culture. Well done all!!!
