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
Let's Get Physical
Happy days and residents, as they all shake their stuff with Will from The Caring Physio it's always giggles and smiles all round as they start the day the physio way!
The Amazing Saxman
Earlier in the week our residents and staff were up singing and dancing to the rhythmic tones of 'Alan Hook' with his amazing saxophone playing. We look forward to the next swing session!
Wonderful West End Show
Our residents were transported back to the 'Wonderful West End' during a performance a small troop from Tickled Pink Productions who showcased several short-story musicals from Rogers & Hammerstein, Cole Porter and Gershwin. We were captivated from the start, and enjoyed a good sing-along to songs from South Pacific, The Sound of Music, and Kiss Me Kate.
It was tremendous fun, with the performers quick costume changes and enthusiasm to entertain us all. Thank you so much for a super day Tickled Pink Productions
Cheese, Fizz and Classical Music
Our first birthday celebrations continued with a Wine, Cheese and Prosecco Afternoon relaxing in the lounge with a live performance of classical music from the King and Rackham Duo.
Residents and staff were treated to the soothing tunes from the duo as they enjoyed an array of cheese and nibbles alongside their choice of drinks courtesy of Chef Ladi.
Everyone had the opportunity to raise a toast to the home, and have a delicious slice of chocolate cake!
We're looking forward to the Waterside Court Garden Party in May when we can open our doors to all our Wallingford friends, family and the supportive local community.
Waterside Court is One!
Today our residents enjoyed a mid-morning boogie with the beautiful Julie Hunt - Care Home Entertainer who had the whole room in the palm of her hands, with songs from the 50's, 60's and 70's.
Thank you Julie - what a way to start the homes first year birthday celebrations!
