Activities at Queens Court Care Home
Activities are one of the most important aspects of our care home, providing fun and companionship, so it is essential that our team are dedicated to ensuring that residents are entertained and that life at Queens Court is fun and active. Throughout the home, there is a choice of lounges, which have been designed for people who enjoy socialising and love making new friends. Music therapy, speakers of interest, events, cinema screenings and family events are offered regularly, as well as the Book Club or Poetry Corner, for those who enjoy quieter activities. Our social programme is varied and exciting and is available seven days a week. You can be as busy as you like. Our friends of Queens Court regularly support our special events and activities at the home, which include trips to the seaside and National Trust site

Tea at the Ritz

The virtual event was a huge success and our competition winner has donated the prize, an hour long personal concert by singing sensation, Barry Stevens to our residents! “Because I’ll be living there soon myself” How lovely.

Mini Pamper session at Queens Court
We are fortunate to have Mariam working here. She used to be a make-up artist for Bollywood and she now hosts a mini pamper session for our residents. This means a favourite experience like hair dressing can still be enjoyed. J.W. had a great afternoon and requested several photographs of Miriam and her.

Queens Court celebrated Robert Burns Day with poetry and a dram of whisky with a Celebrate Scotland menu which included oatcakes, Cranachan, Haggis, Neeps & Tatties.

We would like to thank Jordan Dyke (Dementia Alliance) for the Zoom Dementia Friends training today. We would also like to thank those of you who joined and made the session so interactive. This training focuses on real life issues and highlights that even though we are experiencing a pandemic we can still help someone with Dementia to live well.
