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
Musicals Week
Having a cinema room within our home is something special. Our residents love getting together and deciding on what films to watch. This week it was all about musicals, as they sat back in their comfy theatre chairs the conversation was all about memories of watching the film for the first time in their younger years or in some cases seeing the stage version in the West End!
Oomph! Exploring India
Our ladies love learning all about different cultures, Philippa used the Oomph Wellness 'Exploring India' work sheets to give a talk about the traditions of India.
The group had a wonderful time carefully colouring each image and learning about Sari's whilst listening to Bhangra music.
Did you know... A sari is a garment from the Indian subcontinent that consists of an unstitched drape of cotton or silk between 15 to 30 feet in length that is typically wrapped around the waist, with one end elegantly draped over the shoulder.
We all think Sari's are absolutely beautiful.
Stu Fitness
Afternoon armchair Zumba with Stu from STU Fitness had us all swinging! With his beach party classics, easy to follow moves and overall enthusiasm Stu always gets our residents and staff in the mood for movement.
Lest We Forget
Leading up Armistice Day on the 11th and our Remembrance service on Sunday our residents spent time during their weekly craft club to create paper poppies for the homes display to commemorate all those who have fallen to save us in the first and second world wars, and in subsequent conflicts across the globe.
We raised all raised a glass to those known, and unknown to us ‘WE WILL NEVER FORGET’.
Happy Birthday 'Dotty'
Please join us in wishing the delectable 'Dotty' a very happy 92nd birthday.
Dotty enjoys arts & crafts and keeps her own scrapbook of daily events. She's the Waterside Court 'colour therapy queen' always on hand to recommend what looks best on you to suit your complexion and style.
Dotty's fellow residents say she's a wonderful companion and friend to everyone. Chef and the homes' hospitality team created a stunning birthday cake, decorated with powder blue butterflies recognising some of Dotty's favourite things.
Dementia Information Day
We had a fabulous day meeting so many new people at St Mary le More Church, Wallingford yesterday at the Dementia Oxfordshire 'Dementia Information Day'.
It was wonderful to be able to showcase the interactive and innovative activities on offer at Waterside Court designed specifically for those living with dementia.
