Activities at Sherwood Court Care Home
Our home is always full of life, and we can thank our wonderful Activities Coordinators for this. Dedication to creating a unique and interesting activities programme is what sets us apart from other homes. We always take into consideration that some people would prefer to pursue their own interests, which is why our team strive to incorporative activities that cater to a wide range of tastes and hobbies. Our trips out are always fun and exciting as well, and residents are guaranteed to return with stories to tell their loved ones!

Arts & Crafts
Here at Sherwood Court on a wet day the residents have been taking part in an afternoon of arts and crafts picking out an item to colour and display in there room, this took a lot of concentration but was a lot of fun.
Residents enjoyed hand eye coordination and said it took them back to school days that invoked memories of school days.
