Activities at Waterside Court Care Home

So far this week, residents have been exercising their competitive spirits by embracing Wimbledon-themed activities.

We've had quizzes to test our knowledge on tennis, energetic games of balloon tennis and lovely dinners in the lounge so residents can sit back and enjoy live matches.

Residents are looking forward to the weekend, where we'll be watching the Wimbledon finals on the big screen in our very own cinema room!

Waterside Court has once again been enjoying the guideline changes. Residents and staff welcomed live entertainer, Fiona Harrison, into Waterside Court on Sunday to perform a “Stars and Stripes” themed show in honour of 4th July celebrations.

Residents had an amazing morning that was filled with smiles, laughter, lots of singing, twirling and dancing!

Residents have been making the most of the summer weather by enjoying more strolls in our lovely gardens.

As a new, purpose-built care home, Waterside Court is fully designed to help enable residents on a day-to-day basis and with a variety of skills. Our lovely gardens, for instance, have flat pathways so residents can enjoy leisurely strolls with minimal trip hazards. There are also plenty of seats and benches available in the gardens and along the walkways, which allow residents to take a break should they wish to go for longer walks.

Our raised flower beds and planters are also a wonderful way of enabling our green-fingered residents to continue gardening when they move into the home.

Our residents’ competitive natures came out at Waterside Court as they enjoyed a game of indoor skittles in one of our spacious lounges.

Fun games like these are brilliant for helping residents to increase and maintain their motor skills and mobility, all whilst having a fantastic time!

We’ve had a few new residents join us recently as well, so interactive activities like this are a lovely way of making new residents feel more at ease in their first few days.

May Kidner, Activity Coordinator at Waterside Court, said: “I love seeing the competitive side of our residents shine through. They each try to best each other but they always maintain a good sense of humour and sportsmanship. It was lovely to see how relaxed they were whilst enjoying this activity”.

It was World Beatles Day and Waterside Court decided to celebrate in true 5 star fashion. Residents enjoyed a gourmet meal that was cooked by very own Head Chef and served in one of our luxury dining areas.

The team at Waterside Court also decided to double up as live entertainers, singing and dancing to Beatles tunes as residents enjoyed their dining experience with lots of laughter!

Residents had a laid-back morning at Waterside Court, enjoying a soothing cup of hot chocolate whilst reading the morning paper together. Activities like this are a lovely way of encouraging social engagement and cognitive stimulation.

The morning paper was then followed by some light exercise in one of our lovely gardens. Residents and staff went for a leisurely stroll around the home, enjoying the warm sunshine whilst observing local wildlife.
