Activites 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.

Carly

Activities Coordinator

Hello, my name is Carly, and I’m proud to be the Activities Coordinator here at Ross Court. I’m passionate about bringing joy, stimulation, and a sense of community to our residents through a wide variety of engaging and meaningful activities.

With a background in the community, I love creating experiences that cater to everyone’s interests—whether that’s music, arts and crafts, games, exercise, themed events, or trips out. My goal is to make every day fulfilling and to ensure that all our residents feel valued, involved, and connected.

I’m always open to new ideas and love working closely with residents and their families to tailor activities that reflect personal hobbies and preferences. Seeing smiles, hearing laughter, and being part of so many special moments is what makes my role so rewarding.

Olive turns 100!

On the 29th of May we celebrated our beautiful Olive turning 100 years young. Olive has been a resident here at Ross Court for many years, and it was a pleasure to spend the special day with her.

The day started with a guard of honour from all the staff singing ‘Happy Birthday’. Olive's family came in to spend the day with her. Olive received many birthday cards from friends, family and other Barchester homes – and a special card from the King and Queen.

Our Head Chef Helena made her a beautiful cake to celebrate the day.

It's safe to say that Olive had a great day filled with love.

Baby Shower

What a lovely afternoon we had a Ross Court on Wednesday. Residents and staff came together to attend Megan’s baby shower.

We all enjoyed the afternoon, sharing our pregnancy stories and reminiscing about when our children were babies, looking at all of Megan’s lovely gifts, and we all enjoyed a buffet thanks to our amazing chefs.

Everyone at Ross Court wants to wish Megan the best for the imminent birth of her baby girl. 
The residents and staff cannot wait to meet the new bundle of joy!

We also wanted to send our congratulations to Megan and her new husband, Richard, on their recent wedding!

St Fagans National Museum of History

Our most recent outing was to the St Fagans National Museum of History in Cardiff. 

This was a lot further than we usually go on our outings, but the residents who went all agreed it was worth the travelling! The residents enjoyed having a stroll around the museum and the stunning grounds, taking in all the history of people in Wales over the years.

Everyone loved the beautiful scenery, looking at the old buildings and all the fabulous items from history.
We would highly recommend this trip to everyone. The museum has so much to offer!

Our residents have been talking about St Fagans since they returned and how much they loved their time there. Thank you to all the staff and volunteers at the museum who made our resident's trip a memorable one.

On Saturday we celebrated International Family Day – the sun may not have shone, but we still had a lovely day.

We have sent out invites to families, friends and colleagues to come and join in with the celebrations. We started the day with our regular entertainer Mansel, who had us singing and dancing along to his songs.

Afterwards, our fabulous chefs hosted a wonderful BBQ.

It was a great day!

Classic car show at Ross Court

This weekend, we had a selection of classic cars at Ross Court.

There were a variety of styles and colours! The residents all loved coming out and looking at them. There was plenty of reminiscing about what cars they used to drive – the Morris Minor was a favourite!

It was a lovely sunny morning, and all the car owners were happy to discuss their vehicles with the residents.

VE Day 80th anniversary celebrations

Today at Ross Court we had a great time celebrating the 80th anniversary of VE Day.

We started the day reminiscing with each other, sharing stories. Then in the afternoon we were lucky to have the fabulous Eddy, who came to sing for us.

In the evening, we went to St Mary’s Church, Ross-on-Wye, who hosted a special event to commemorate the 80th Anniversary of Victory in Europe. The event was led by students from John Kyrle High School, Veterans, Royal British Legion Members, Scouts, Guides and Uniformed Military Cadets. We were joined by the local community, and felt honoured to be there.

Beautiful day out on the water

Several of our residents recently spent a day at The Willow Trust in Gloucestershire on a canal boat. We were super lucky with the weather, and enjoyed a picnic lunch in the sunshine. Everyone enjoyed their time on the boat, and had a lot of fun taking it in turns to captain the boat!

We all enjoyed looking at the beautiful scenery around us, and seeing all the other boats on the water.
It was a truly magnificent day out and is still the talk of the home.

We are planning our next visit to The Willow Trust.

Eggcellent Easter Weekend

The residents had a lovely Easter weekend, which started with an Easter bonnet competition on Friday morning, which showed everyone’s creative side. In the afternoon, we invited friends, families and members of the community into the home for an Easter Egg hunt. 

On Saturday, the residents enjoyed making Easter wreaths and playing Easter-themed games – including a firm favourite, the egg and spoon race. We also had a visit from the Easter Bunny, who delivered Easter Eggs to everyone.

We ended the weekend with a lovely Easter Sunday Roast.
