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.
Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies
Life at Ross Court Care Home
A lovely visit from 1st Bridstow Rainbows
The little Rainbows played large KerPlunk with Bill one of our residents, he lost, as all the balls fell in the basket on his turn, the Rainbows squealed with excitement when the balls dropped. Bill brought out a new game of hoopla that his family had given him that day to show the Rainbows. He set it up, showed them how to play, and again they won! Bill loved this, he was happy to lose the games. After refreshments the rainbows went around the residents showing proudly their badges that they had earned. I told one little girl called Ruby that Rosemarie has problems seeing and she sat with Rosemarie describing each badge, what picture was on it what colours and size she even asked Rosemarie to touch the badges. All this kindness and thought with no prompting, it was such a sweet, lovey moment. To end the evening the Rainbows took part in wake and shake with the residents, they all left tired and arms full of Easter Eggs from Ross Court.
Easter Fun!
We had an Easter egg hunt with the residents, and an Easter egg race with a difference. The residents had to pass the boiled egg (that was painted by themselves) from spoon to spoon. They were in two teams, similar to musical chairs. The eggs with the least cracks from dropping them, were the winners. Residents got into the arts and crafts by painting and decorating the boiled egg. Lots of fun and giggles.
We also had the Barchester Bunny giving out Easter eggs to all the residents, they enjoyed the visit, we also had large Easter buttons for those residents with dairy intolerance.
