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
Art & Craft Club
The art group were getting all creative to fill our art display board on Wednesday, alongside the knit and natter ladies.
Happy Birthday Ladies
We enjoyed cake galore this week at Ross Court, with two birthdays in one week; Winifred turned 82 and received a beautiful 'Happy Birthday' rendition on the piano from a fellow resident, and Marjorie turned 92 setting herself a knitting challenge. She aims to knit a minimum of 3-rows a day to create and donate a blanket or two for the local Dog Shelter. Best wishes wonderful ladies from all at Ross Court.
Celebrating our Care Team
Well, what a fantastic way to say 'thank you' to our care team! Nicola, our General Manager organised a wonderful surprise for all our hardworking carers. A gorgeous afternoon tea and pizza delivery for all to share. The team took a well-deserved break, giving them time to read all the messages of thanks received over the week from residents families and friends. They sang and danced with our residents enjoying every moment. We can't thank you enough, you're an amazing team!
Carers Week 2020 – 8th to 14th June
Carers Week is an annual event which highlights the challenges all carers face and looks to recognise the contribution they make to others lives and communities. Our plans for carers week at Ross Court began with the displaying of ‘messages of thanks’ received from our residents’ family and friends.
Many of our residents wished to also show their appreciation by creating a large collage of flowers and penning beautiful words of love and gratitude for the care team to see, and enjoy.
Breakfast Club
The wonderful residents at Ross Court are getting into the swing of things with our new 'breakfast club', with welcoming fresh flowers, papers and magazines to look through while they enjoy a wide range of pastries. Looks like a great way to start the day.
Happy 85th Birthday Gwen
Today, 13th May, we celebrated the birthday of Gwendoline one of our respite residents. She’s an absolutely lovely lady who brightens our days every time she resides with us. Chef baked and presented her with a home-made cake whilst staff clapped and sang ‘Happy Birthday’. Gwen received calls from her family and her son popped by to deliver a beautiful bouquet and gifts which made her day.
