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!

Life at Sherwood Court Care Home
Virtual singing session
Our homes had a fantastic time with vocal coach Mark De-Lisser as he led an amazing virtual singing session for our residents to enjoy.
Our residents were able to learn different techniques as they sang the famous ‘I’m a Believer’ by The Monkees.
There were smiles and laugher all around. The session was such a success and was great for the mind, body and soul.
Father's Day
We marked Father’s Day in style with a very special lunch in honour of all fathers.
Some of our residents met their loved ones in the garden and our home, others enjoyed video calls with their family and friends. We all took part in various activities, such as writing letters and cards, and playing themed games and quizzes. We even discussed the best dad jokes we had heard!
Our residents spent time reminiscing about their earlier lives and talking about their fathers and children. They were delighted also to receive gifts from Ribbleton Avenue Methodist Junior School.
Hat's off - Royal Ascot celebrations
We marked the annual Royal Ascot races in style as we dressed to impress, put on our favourite hats and we used our gaming money to place our winning bets.
Our residents enjoyed the event from the comfort of the home, we watched the races, had conversations about the Royal Ascot fashion and celebrated the occasion with a glass or two of fizz and delicious treats.
Some of our residents decided to sit in the garden to listen to the Royal Ascot races, we had a great time debating who was going to win.
First Woman MP
Our homes had a fantastic time joining National Trust Talks Service team at Cliveden House for an inspirational talk on Nancy Astor – the first woman to take a seat in the House of Commons.
Our residents had the opportunity to learn more about the fascinating life of Nancy and her political career. As the first women MP, she experienced both attention and scandal throughout her life, which led to many triumphs and numerous disasters. The talk was truly enjoyed by all.
National carers week
Happy Carers Week! We would like to take this great opportunity to recognise and thank our wonderful carers here at the home.
We are proud of each and every one of our care team for the outstanding care that they provide to our residents every single day. They always go above and beyond their role and for this we are truly grateful.
A breath of fresh air
Residents have been out exploring and taken time to use the nice weather wisely by having a stroll through Mason Wood to their local ASDA for a spot of shopping.
