Activities at Longueville Court Care Home

The methods and mediums may change but the heart of live music - the communal joy, the shared emotions, the collective energy - remains untouched. As we look to the future, one thing is clear: live music will continue to be a cherished experience at Longueville Court, even as its form and format evolve.

We Celebrated the birth of Elvis with a tribute act. The Residents clapped and had a good old sing along to all of his classics.

National celebrations and family-friendly events are just some of the ways that we ensure the residents at Longuville Court remain connected with their loved ones and the wider community. 

Our Residents put on a Christmas show today for family and friends and Santa may have even been one of the Residents. The Residents Choir recited Christmas favourites and all had some comfort and joy.

The residents at White Lodge enjoyed a truly joyful Christmas celebration filled with bright colours, delicious food, and plenty of music.

The festivities kicked off with a fantastic performance by the all-male band End of Track, who immediately set the mood and brought the Christmas spirit alive. Their lively renditions of festive favourites such as White Christmas, Sweet Caroline, and Merry Christmas had everyone smiling, singing along, and soaking up the joyful atmosphere.

Following the wonderful entertainment, residents were treated to a mouth-watering festive buffet. The table was packed with seasonal delights including Scotch eggs, sausage rolls, mince pies, mini quiches, Christmas cake, and panettone, all perfectly complemented by warm cups of tea and coffee.

It was a heart-warming celebration enjoyed by all and a perfect way to share the magic of Christmas together.               

With it being remembrance Sunday, our residents wanted to do something different, something that could be kept as a keepsake, so we did a photo shoot of our residents, which turned out great.       

We whisked two of our residents to Northampton to cheer on the Northampton Saints! It was such a fantastic day. 

We kicked things off with lunch at Five Guys, and then we headed to the stadium to watch the home team rock the field. The energy in the stands was absolutely electric. We all had an amazing time!

We celebrated Alzheimer’s Society Elf day by having the staff dress up, and there were some mischievous elves, doing their rounds, and we had an afternoon of music, dancing, games, conversation and mayhem as we had a wonderful Christmas-themed afternoon tea!!!     

We had the pleasure of welcoming Tabby into Longueville Court, for a talk and demonstration on reflexology. It was very informative, and our residents really enjoyed learning. 

Tabby will be back to offer her services to our residents.    

Our residents really enjoyed trying something new to celebrate Diwali. We had a lovely lady called Sheetal visit us and show our residents a traditional Indian type of art called Rangoli. 

The designs and colours were wonderful. Our residents really enjoyed learning the history behind the amazing art, they really embraced themselves in the art session and look forward to trying it again!
