Activities at Queens Court Care Home

The birthday party in January at Queens Court Care Home was a great success. All the birthdays were celebrated in January, and each party was planned individually with our residents and their families. 

We always make sure that every celebration is special, and each one turned out to be a wonderful party.  

Pola enjoyed a wonderful day out recently, designed around her individual interests and preferences. Known for her love of shopping, coffee breaks, and spending time outdoors, Pola made the most of her visit to the local Wimbledon Quarter.

The day included browsing shops, enjoying a relaxing coffee in a local café, and taking a gentle walk around the area. With fresh air, a friendly atmosphere, and plenty of time to enjoy the moment, the outing offered both relaxation and enjoyment.

The trip highlights the importance of personalised support, ensuring residents can take part in activities they truly enjoy. For Pola, it was a day filled with simple pleasures, smiles, and quality time spent in the heart of the community.    

We are so lucky to be surrounded by a wonderful local community who love to visit Queens Court. We enjoyed many performances and live concerts from different groups. It made us very happy to see our residents connecting with the local community. Everyone enjoyed the performances, followed by a friendly chat with residents, which made the day even more special.

We also received many beautiful hampers from the community. A heartfelt thank you to everyone for your kindness and generosity — it truly means a lot to our residents.          

Our cocktail afternoon was a wonderful treat for our residents! 

Our General Manager Shaaron Caratella and chef  Kim went room to room serving delicious, freshly made cocktails, creating a warm and joyful atmosphere. To end the day, group of our residents enjoyed relaxing jazz music together while chatting over delicious cocktails. 

It was a warm, intimate moment filled with conversation, music, and connection—such a lovely way to wrap up our special cocktail afternoon. 

Smiles, laughter, and great flavours made the day truly special, and everyone enjoyed this thoughtful, personalised experience.

It was a lovely afternoon at Queens Court Care Home, where families and friends came together to remember those who are no longer with us.

The afternoon was filled with gentle music and songs, beautifully sung by our caring staff, creating a peaceful and heartfelt atmosphere.

It was wonderful to see everyone again, sharing memories and enjoying conversations during the refreshments so thoughtfully prepared by our team.

The sense of community and togetherness made the day truly special. We would also like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Holy Trinity Church, Wimbledon, for their continued support and kindness. A warm and memorable day for all who joined us — a time to reflect, connect, and celebrate the lives of those we hold dear.

This year’s Christmas light switch-on at Queen’s Court was a truly wonderful event. The lights were switched on by the Mayor of Merton, Martin Whelton. Everyone enjoyed a lovely afternoon with a live violin concert and delicious refreshments prepared by our Head Chef.

We were also pleased to welcome representatives from the local police, whom we would like to thank for their support. Most importantly, our residents had an amazing time and thoroughly enjoyed the celebration.       

Remembrance Sunday was marked with a vibrant live concert this afternoon, bringing residents and their families together for a heartfelt celebration. Guests enjoyed a selection of great food and live musical performances, with residents joining in to sing classic songs from years gone by. 

The event created a warm and nostalgic atmosphere, offering a meaningful opportunity for reflection and togetherness.      

We are always delighted to welcome visits from local schools and nurseries. Our residents truly enjoy spending time with the children, whether it’s through colouring activities, word searches, or even some gentle gymnastics!

These intergenerational visits bring joy and laughter to everyone involved. It’s wonderful for our residents to see and engage with the younger generation regularly — the shared moments and smiles are always a highlight of the week.   

Residents of Queens Court enjoyed a truly wonderful afternoon filled with laughter, amazement, and fun. A fantastic magic show was delivered by Tom, who entertained everyone with an exciting variety of tricks that delighted, surprised, and amazed the audience.

The performance brought smiles, laughter, and plenty of “wow” moments, creating a joyful atmosphere for residents and their families. The magic show was not only entertaining but also a lovely opportunity for everyone to come together and share a memorable experience.

A big thank you to Tom for bringing magic, fun, and shock in the best possible way, and to everyone who joined us to make the afternoon so special. It was an event that will be fondly remembered by all at Queens Court.              

Christmastime is always a busy and creative period at Queens Court. We were delighted to begin our festive calendar with Christmas card making, an activity that our residents truly enjoyed.

Residents took great pleasure in expressing their creativity—some chose to design and make their own cards, while others preferred selecting from a wide range of ready-made cards. We ensured there was plenty of choice so everyone could find something they loved.

The activity not only encouraged creativity but also brought lots of smiles, conversation, and festive cheer. It was a wonderful way to start the Christmas season and spread love and joy to family and friends.  

Our residents absolutely love spending time with the Magic Table. They enjoy all the different games and activities, and many of them like simply sitting beside the table, watching the lights, interacting with the images, and having fun at their own pace.

The wide variety of choices means there is something for everyone. These activities bring many benefits, including: Stimulation of memory and imagination, gentle physical movement, social interaction, relaxation and emotional comfort, increased engagement.

It’s amazing to see how something so simple can create so much joy.  

Carmen recently celebrated her 91st birthday at Queens Court with her entire family, including her granddaughter, who also turned 31. It was a wonderful afternoon filled with fun, laughter, and quality time spent with loved ones.

At Queens Court, we love celebrating each resident’s birthday! Every birthday party is fully prepared and personalized to make each individual feel special and cherished.   

We had such a lovely time taking a walk down memory lane with our residents! 

Using cards from the 1950s and 60s, we sparked some amazing conversations—filled with laughter, stories, and memories. 

It’s always fascinating to hear about the things they used at home back then… items and traditions many of us have never even heard of today! Such a heart-warming way to connect across generations.
