Activities at Latimer Court Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.
Here at Latimer Court, we have a varied social programme that includes themed events once a month, painting classes, day trips out, exercise classes and arts & crafts, to name but a few. We strive to tailor our activities to suit everyone's needs, and update our notice boards weekly so that all families and visitors can see what their loved ones have been up to. Our aim is to make sure that those we support can enjoy a happy and fulfilled stay with us.
Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies
Life at Latimer Court Care Home
Mother's Day
Happy Mother’s Day!
We had a lovely day as we celebrated Mother’s Day. We made it a fun-filled day with flowers, cake and music all round. Our Activities Co-ordinator, Dan, did an amazing job delivering home-made daffodil bouquets to every lady in the home as that special touch from all of the Latimer Court team.
In the afternoon we treated everybody to a lovely afternoon high tea, complete with sandwiches and scones of course, and entertainment from the amazing singer Jack that we all loved.
A great day and thank you for everyone that came in and celebrated with us!
Real Bread Week
We marked the annual, international celebration of real bread and the people who make it.
Over the course of the week, overseen by our Chef Jonathan, we kneaded, proven and baked a selection of different breads from granary loaves and floury batches to breadsticks.
Apart from tasting the delicious breads, our residents learnt interesting facts about the history of bread and watched videos about the magic of bread making.
We all had a wonderful time!
Love is in the Air!
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
We love taking care of you!
A single red rose for our amazing residents at Latimer Court and chocolate’s for everyone to celebrate Valentine's Day. We then had a fabulous Valentine's get together for all of our families, with an afternoon tea, entertainment and tasty treats for everyone to enjoy! It was a beautiful afternoon and love was definitely in the air.
10 Years of Service with Dawn
A huge congratulations & thank you to our wonderful Head Housekeeper, Dawn! Dawn officially celebrates 10 years of loyal service here at Latimer Court.
Dawn started at Barchester in January 2014, the year Latimer Court opened, and has worked with residents and their relatives to ensure that their needs have been met over the years. She has demonstrated her dedication and loyalty to this home and its residents year after year and continues to do so.
All of us here at Latimer Court are more than looking forward to many more years of working with Dawn! Congratulations!
Medical Detection Dogs
Across our services, our residents had a fantastic time during a special live virtual event, led by Emilia from Medical Detection Dogs. Emilia took us on a journey to discover how the organisation began training dogs to support people with complex health conditions, saving their lives on a daily basis.
Using their amazing sense of smell, these dogs can identify odour changes emitted prior an episode and alert the person to take preventative action. We were introduced to the wonderful dogs and the science behind the sniff. It was a delightful experience for everyone, especially our canine-loving residents.
Dementia Cafe with Worcester Warriors Foundation
This week, we wanted to get out and about and meet some new people, so we decided to pop down to the Worcester Warriors Foundation to their friendly Dementia Cafe. The Warriors team have been so friendly and welcoming, the cafe had great activities for our residents to join and it was also great to chat to others.
Worcester Warriors Foundation recently re-launched their Dementia Cafe, so we popped along to support them and see what new elements they had added. Our residents used to attend the cafe before, so they were very excited to get back.
We did activities such as painting and colouring, played some Jenga and did some music quizzes, and even had time for tea and biscuits! We've invited the Warriors team to our Dementia Cafe next time, as they will be extremely welcome at Latimer Court.
