Activities at Arbour Court Care Home
Our specialist activities staff are committed to organising a variety of activities and events for all residents and the local community to get involved in, including trips out to local places of interest in our minibus, visits from entertainers and musicians and small group and individual activities in quiet yet stimulating environments. It is important to us that each individual who we support can get as much from these as possible, so we try our best to arrange activities that reflect resident individual interests as best as possible, and encourage them to participate in any way they can. We also encourage relatives to join with activities and events as often as they can.

Life at Arbour Court Care Home
Valentine's inspired cookery demo
We had a lovely time joining Chef Alex Connell from Vegetarian for Life for a Valentine’s-inspired virtual cookery demonstration. Chef Alex created some delicious Valentine’s Day-inspired vegetarian desserts, which our residents had the opportunity to try too.
First, our residents sampled a wonderful sticky toffee pudding, which was absolutely heavenly. Then they tried hazelnut truffles which were a huge hit and finally they were treated to a chocolate orange cake which everyone adored.
Birthday celebrations
We have celebrated many birthdays over the month of January. Resident, Mary recently celebrated her 90-years young and was surrounded by cards and gifts from family and friends before being presented with a delicious home-made cake by the homes hospitality team. Happy Birthday from us all at Arbour Court.
Singing and dancing
Our residents love to sing and dance on a daily basis throughout the day. They connect with the music and there are smiles all around as we dance to our favourite songs, it’s good for the mind and soul and more importantly it keeps us active!
Creating a gingerbread house
Residents enjoy their popular baking sessions, in this week’s club we had great fun whilst creating a gingerbread house, it got a little messy as we stuck the sides and then decorated it, but it was wonderful to taste over a cup of tea!
Willow Wood hospice gift
Willow wood provide around the clock palliative care and support to people whom have a life limiting illness also supporting their families and care givers. They work endlessly and as this service is free to everyone they require community support to raise much needed funds. We are delighted to support this worthy cause.
Creating wreaths
Our residents loved making these wreaths and it is their choice to use them as table displays on Christmas day
