Activities at Station Court Care Home
Activities make up the most important part of all our days, and at Station Court we ensure there are a variety of social events that reflect the individual interests and capabilities of people we support. All group and individual activities are designed to not only mentally and physically stimulate the people we care for, but to enhance their life skills and feelings of purpose and self worth. All of our team are committed to supporting a full activities programme within the home.

Floral decorations with Ferndown
Our homes had a lovely time joining Sue and Nicole from Ferndown Florist for an intriguing flower arrangement workshop in celebration of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
Our residents enjoyed a wonderful virtual demonstration and got inspired to create their own flower posies for our Jubilee displays. Our home will be specially decorated for the upcoming festivities. Stay tuned.
Crystal Palace Chronicles
We had a lovely time joining Graham Whitlock for an exciting virtual event to discuss his book ‘The Crystal Palace Chronicles: Star of Nimrod’.
Our residents were thrilled to find out more about the book and the fictional character Joe, who went on a rollercoaster adventure travelling back in time to the heyday of Victorian Crystal Palace.
Everyone had lots of fun during the virtual talk, as Graham took them on a clever and hilarious adventure. A great time was had by all.
World Cocktail Day
We have had a fabulous Friday creating our own cocktails and mocktail drinks! Using a mix of fresh fruits and herbs awakening our senses with strong scents, and tastes Everyone then enjoyed a tasting session with choices of Cranberry sangria, pineapple punch and tipsy tropical crush
VE Day
We have a brilliant day commemorating V-E DAY! We joined a virtual concert for a sing along and dancing to much loved wartime hits. Residents reminisced on celebrations over the years after watching Churchill’s famous speech before taking part in a quiz, playing a famous quotes game and readings of V-E day poems with tea and cakes.
Oh we do like to be beside the seaside!
Residents opted for Fish and Chips for our takeaway day this month and so we all had a fun seaside themed day. We reminisced of beach days with photographs of local and far away beaches, bringing back fond memories. We joined a sing along to classic seaside songs and had a barrel of laughs playing beach games of beach ball, skittles, carnival challenges and parachute games. Before tucking into delicious fish and chips from local shop, Bait Box for lunch
