Activities at Waterside Court Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.
We understand that the people we support have passions and interests that could be difficult to pursue after moving into a care home – but that doesn’t mean we don’t encourage them to try! Some hobbies can define a person, so our Activities Coordinators are dedicated to ensuring that everyone we support is able to do what makes them happy to the best of their abilities. Social events are organised with individual tastes in mind and with the idea that residents have the opportunity to try new and exciting things.

Ukuleles at Waterside Court
What an unforgettable day at Waterside Court! Our residents were enthralled by a special ukulele performance that had everyone tapping their feet and smiling from ear to ear.
Everybody enjoyed the sweet, melodic tunes of the ukulele and the singing that captivated everyone, producing a sense of nostalgia for the room. Fred, one of our residents who is passionate about playing the ukulele, was absolutely thrilled by the performance.
A big thank you to the ukulele group for an unforgettable performance at Waterside Court! Your music brought so much joy to our residents, and we're truly grateful for the happiness you shared with us.
Doris Day
Today, we celebrate the legendary Doris Day here at Waterside Court. In tribute to her remarkable legacy, we honoured her timeless music with a special performance.
Fiona wowed the audience with a live performance of iconic songs like ‘Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps,’ ‘Que Sera, Sera,’ ‘Secret Love,’ and ‘Sentimental Journey,’ filling the room with nostalgia and joy.
Our residents were deeply touched by the tribute, many joining in song and fondly reminiscing about the golden era of music. The celebration not only brought smiles and laughter but also sparked cherished memories, creating a heart-warming atmosphere of connection and joy.
Happy Mother's Day!
Today was very special as we celebrated the warmth and love of all the mothers, especially the ones that are so dear to us and Waterside Court.
We had a wonderful afternoon hosting a cream tea with champagne and delicious cakes. Every mother present felt very loved and spoilt.
Thank you so much to our amazing residents, families and friends who made this day so special. We appreciate you!
Rugby Six Nations Finals
Today at Waterside Court, we were all captivated by the excitement of the Rugby Six Nations Finals! Our residents were absolutely thrilled, showing boundless enthusiasm as they cheered on their teams.
Prior to the England vs. Wales match, the residents participated in their own Friendly Rugby Challenge in the garden. They had a fantastic time trying to score goals with the rugby ball in the net, fully embracing the spirit of the game. It was a highly engaging and enjoyable activity, with plenty of laughter and excitement as they cheered each other on.
The energy was contagious, and it created a fun, memorable moment for everyone involved!
Sharing Memories
What a surreal moment today at Waterside Court for one of our residents. Norma's son wanted to do something very special for his mum to commemorate her wedding anniversary, so he decided to surprise her with a trip down memory by bringing these memories to life through photos displayed on a projector.
Norma was able to relive these treasured memories of her wedding from years ago, as vivid photos were cast across the screen, taking her back to that joyful day in 1960 and her younger years. The team here at Waterside Court joined in and were able to share these memories with Norma and her family.
Treasured experiences and sharing moments like this make us all feel so privileged to have such residents in our home, being able to Celebrate Life with them. This was a very special moment indeed!!
Thank you so much Norma for sharing these memories with us and hope we continue to create more memories together.
International Women's Day!
Today we joined Women of the World in celebrating ‘woman power’ as we honoured the achievements, contributions, and progress made by women throughout history.
We had a wonderful day full of activities and entertainment aimed at celebrating the lives of our residents and creating memories. Julie was our special guest entertainer, and she truly made the day unforgettable with her energy and amazing voice.
We would like to send our heartfelt thank you to all the incredible women who inspire us every day. Here’s to strength, support, and more achievements!!
