Activities at Sherwood Court Care Home

Here at Sherwood Court, we have had the best morning with resident Gregg! As Gregg is on a peg he finds it hard to engage with activities. The one thing he asked for was to go out to his old favourite barbers were he used to get his hair cut. 

This morning, Hayley surprised him by booking a taxi and booking him a slot at the barbers. He was absolutely made up and thoroughly enjoyed the morning of being pampered... even a nasal wax.

Gregg is very much looking forward to his next appointment.

Here at Sherwood Court, residents from our nursing unit have had the best day for mother's Day, and simply well deserved. our special ladies received gifts from all the staff here from the home, and they also received gift bags full of goodies from Ribbleton Avenue Methodist Junior School who we have a strong connection with. 

After spending time with relatives, our ladies sat down for an evening tea party with a glass of fizz. Lovely day enjoyed by all.

Here at Sherwood Court, we have recently had a married couple come and reside with us, but they are on each floor. Today we have had Ronnie helping out with flower arranging, after we was kindly donated a huge display. Once we had finished making our bouquets it was time for Ronnie to go up and spend time with wife Marie with the beautiful creation he made for her.

is this not the cutest thing you have seen so far today?

True soul mates and we are so happy we can experience support both Marie & Ronnie.

Here at Sherwood Court, staff and residents have had a lovely morning discussing recent events in the daily newspapers. Reading regularly helps to prolong memory and discussion, this has helped the residents engage with staff and have a well held conversation about what has been going in the paper , Peter expressed how things have changed over the years and cannot believe we have new papers in colour.

Well done team.
