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!

International Women's Day
Residents enjoyed ‘ladies corner’ on the 8th of March for International Women’s Day at Sherwood Court prompting valuable discussions of life skills and achievements, it was filled with a lot of laughs out loud as the happy group went on all day celebrating women’s equality and gender. Quotes were read out in the small socially distanced group like this one that reminded them of the homes General Manager, Elizabeth Brotherton.
What is an inspiring woman? - “For me, an inspiring woman is simply a women who can fill someone with desire or urge to do something worthwhile. Something that creates a better world… perhaps a woman, who lives her life free from definitions, constraints and attachment to generally accepted ideals and stereotypes of beauty and success”. We salute all the ladies out there!
Sending hugs to sister home
Sending Hugs to our sister home - The team at Sherwood Court have been working very hard with the residents to help draw around residents hands and decorate them to create a chain of hands as a big hug to all the residents and staff at sister home, Boroughbridge Manor care home. Big hugs to all!
Knit and Natter
We have been using our fine motor skills and muscle memory to be creative. Reminiscing about days gone by when we would use our knitting and sewing skills on a very regular basis. Knitting and sewing articles we have made from scratch has been incredibly rewarding.
Newspaper Coffee Morning
This week we have enjoyed a newspaper coffee morning allowing us to socialise within the home and engage in current events triggering discussions about the world today and memories of days gone by. We were able to look collectively at the pictures highlighting the articles during our conversations so that everyone was included.
Creativity fun
Residents at Sherwood Court have chosen to spend time today taking part in an arts and craft session, stimulating all the senses and creativity. It was a lot of fun for all, bringing back memories of school days and time with their grandchildren.
The homes life enrichment programme provides meaningful activities to include Mind, body and soul activities, tailored to suit the resident’s individual interest and hobbies.
