Activities at Queens Court Care Home

Arranging flower arrangements, especially in the garden, is one of the many favourite activities of our residents during summer. We regularly arrange arrangements so that our home is always decorated with fresh flowers. 

Every Monday we create new compositions to make our restaurant tables look even nicer.

Our general manager, Shaaron Caratella, and the residents visited the local #Waterstones to buy and add more wonderful novels to our library. After successful shopping, relax and enjoy our favourite ice cream at Oddono's Wimbledon! It was a great afternoon.

Residents meet regularly with our manager to spend time together and chat over coffee, where we get to know each other even better and learn about our expectations and wishes.

We celebrate the worlds we’ve travelled to, the characters we’ve loved, and the stories that have shaped us — one page at a time.

On Book Lovers' Day, we spent a lot of time telling each other stories about our favourite books and authors, as well as reminiscing about our childhood books.

At Queens Court we love books, our book club, trips to the local library which take place regularly. 

Our friendly neighbours, Ian and Meg, regularly invite our residents for afternoon tea!

Our residents, Guy and Norma, have many things in common, especially with Ian, who is a painter and loves art just like them.
Chatting together and looking at the paintings that decorate the house is always exciting and enjoyable.

It's great to have a friend so close and just drop in for a cup of tea. 

Our residents were fully prepared for a wonderful project in which they were filmed by professionals from the Wimbledon The Championship, who wanted to show residents of nursing homes being involved in tennis matches!

We are delighted that Queens Court was chosen. Every year our house is fully decorated and for the two weeks of tennis all our TVs are focused on it. For the biggest fans, we organise daily outings to the match on the big screen which is very close to us. 
 

It is already our tradition that every year our residents participate in the annual Summer Picnic in our friendly South Park Gardens!

Great live shows, music and many other attractions, we love our local park all year round because it is only 5 minutes from us so we can visit it regularly and admire the wonderful nature there!

Queens Court had the honour of hosting Emma de Pfeiffer Key, who is a holistic therapist! Emma told our guests how important it is to take care of their mental well-being and showed us the main nerve points on our hands that we can massage during the day to improve our well-being! 

It was a great conversation. Thank you, Emma! 

Our regular events to which we invite special guests so that they can share their knowledge on how to take care of our physical and mental health.

The Queens Court team thanked the volunteers who consistently spend time with our residents. Their interest, skills and availability have enriched the lives of our residents and staff.

Our residents' birthdays at Queens Court are an even more special time for everyone. We contact families in advance and discuss the menu, birthday cake and decorations with the residents.

We want every birthday to be special and memorable for the residents and their family. Every birthday is unique and the residents and their families are happy. 

Our residents can enjoy a wonderful relaxing hand rub which they love and makes them feel relaxed and relieved. Our already friendly Camilla, who is an Embodied Movement & Yoga Teacher, visited us during Dementia Action Week to bring joy and relaxation to our residents.

We are already waiting for the next session with Camilla.

Celebrating the successes of our staff! Yesterday afternoon at Queens Court was amazing. We celebrated the wonderful successes of our extraordinary employees! A beautiful speech by the general manager, Shaaron Caratella, who presented special awards to Siva, who has been at Queens Court for 25 years, and Catherine for 30! Everyone was appreciated. Every person working at Queens Court does something extraordinary. That's why we are so special! 

Wonderful guests who visited us. Thank you very much, especially Dr. Terry Tucker for a wonderful speech ! Music, competitions, surprises and great food. It was a great afternoon. Thanks to all the Queens Court staff for their hard work and to General Manager Shaaron Caratella, who always looks after the staff at Queens Court!

Our resident, Norma, spent the afternoon at Morden Library, Merton Civic Centre, participating in a reminiscence session and sharing her memories of leisure time from sport and the theatre, to music, hobbies and the cinema. 
Norma had a wonderful afternoon of great memories and wonderful stories.

It was great to see newspapers and many other interesting things from the old past.

This year was 80 years since the end of the Second World War in Europe and staff, residents and their loved ones have been remembering the bravery and sacrifices of those who served in the war. It's been a very emotional and heartfelt day.

The Union Jack flags and bunting are up all around the home and the TVs have been on for residents to enjoy the celebrations around the world.

It was also great and very joyful through events with live music, great fun, delicious food and wonderful guests! We will remember this special day for a long time.

The wonderful Easter in our home is rich every year with exceptional activities and concerts.

Great live concerts, exceptional dishes and snacks, outings to the local community, a wonderful time spent together with the residents, their families and our team.

Competitions are always fun and full of humour. All this makes Easter time special.

Our residents meet daily at 12.30pm to review the newspapers with a glass of wine or Sherry. Each resident has their own favourite daily newspaper. We also offer everyone the Daily Sparkle Newspaper, which is printed daily with interesting facts from the past.

It's always a wonderful time spent together, full of smiles and interesting facts.
