Activities at Ross Court Care Home
Activities are the cornerstone of a wholesome home experience, and our Activities Coordinators are always putting their creative minds to the test by organising new and exciting social events for residents to partake in. Of course, we take into account the likes and dislikes of those we support, so if someone doesn’t feel like trying something new, there will always be something on offer to reflect their personal interests. For the people who may just prefer some peace and quiet instead, we also offer one-to-one time that can be enjoyed with a nice cup of coffee or just a simple chat – whatever they desire.

Life at Ross Court Care Home
Residents and Staff Table Tennis!
Ross Court was unusually quiet this weekend so the team bought some action with games of table tennis. There was staff verses residents as well as residents playing against each other and what great fun everyone had!
Residents Visit Butterfly Zoo
Residents of Ross Court had a lovely morning at Symonds Yat Butterfly Zoo. We strolled around as butterflies flew all around us, it felt very magical and beautiful. The butterflies are from all around the world and the centre is committed to butterfly conservation, we would highly recommend a visit. Before leaving we popped into the cafe for a nice hot cuppa.
