Activities at Peony Court Care Home
Our Activities Coordinators are dedicated to enhancing residents' quality of life by providing regular social and psychological stimulation. The activities can be undertaken in groups or ‘one-to-one’ and are based on individual preferences. We have a varied programme, with the goal of appealing to the interests and capabilities of all residents as best as possible. For example, there's pottery, baking, Scrabble, art classes, exercise sessions and much more. The Activities Coordinators also organise visits from entertainers, local groups, including school choirs, religious services and outings on the minibus.
Paul McKee
Hi! I'm Paul, the Activities Co-Ordinator at Peony Court.
Before I joined the care sector I worked for many years in the hotel industry, managing housekeeping, hospitality and customer experience. Several members of my family have a history of working in care and I thought, maybe that could be me as well. I'm a natural entertainer with a flare for bringing smiles to people's faces and this was absolutely the right move for me.
Here at Peony Court, I make a point of getting to know each and every resident and their families. I tailor the activities program to suit individuals, no one is the same and everyone has different interests. It's my aim to be empathetic, enthusiastic and engaging with all of my residents. We have incredible activities and events here guided by exactly what our residents want, from pampering sessions to singing and dancing, chair exercises to arts and crafts, and diversity is absolutely the key!
I can't wait to welcome more residents and guests to Peony Court!

Life at Peony Court Care Home
Antiques Roadshow at Peony Court!
General Manager, Sandra and our guests thoroughly enjoyed meeting the charming Michael Laikin who didn't disappoint with a hugely entertaining and informative antique session! Guest, Mrs B was amazed with the value of her item and was glad to be given the heads up to insure it forthwith!
What a party!
We couldn't have wished for a better day to celebrate the opening of our new home at our Summer Garden Party! The sun was shining, the "sparkly" flowing and with stalls and entertainment on offer and all safely held, a great time was had by all!
"Cheese and Wine Soiree"
It was great to invite eleven of our closest neighbours to meet our new General Manager, Sandra Roche, toast their health through this dreadful pandemic, tour our wonderful new home and enjoy an evening of fine wine and a selection of cheeses and in our newly planted garden. Sandra is pictured with local resident, Mike sharing a few funny anecdotes about life in our Park Hill area!
