Activities at Waterside Court Care Home
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.

Life at Waterside Court Care Home
D-Day Celebrations
At Waterside Court we know that certain national celebrations are important to our residents. For the 80th Anniversary of the D-Day landings we held a garden party in the sunshine with family and friends.
Staff, residents and visitors also got a chance to have a tour of some immaculately preserved WW2 military trucks displayed outside in the car park. Local volunteers were kind enough to allow Waterside Court to have these military vehicles for staff, residents and the community to enjoy for the day and provided informative chats with everyone. Afterward everyone enjoyed some traditionally hand-whipped ice cream in the garden.
National celebrations and family-friendly events are just some of the ways that we ensure the residents at Waterside remain connected with their loved ones and the wider community.
Coffee At The Waterfront
This week we made the most of the sunshine by ambling over to the Waterfront Cafe to enjoy coffee and cake in the sunshine.
Regular visits to local attractions, popping out for coffee, pub lunches, mini-bus trips, and other outings are key parts of our life enrichment program and feature often on our weekly activity calendar.
At Waterside Court we support and encourage our residents to continue doing the things they love whilst also making new friends and exploring new adventures.
Pet Therapy
Donations made to Pets As Therapy (https://petsastherapy.org/), also gifted some toys and goodies for our wonderful Volunteer Mike and his adorable Therapy Dog Monty!
All the residents always look forward to and enjoy their weekly visits by Monty!
