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
Ferndown florist demo
Our homes had a lovely time joining Sue and Nicole from Ferndown Florist for an intriguing flower arrangement workshop in celebration of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
Our residents enjoyed a wonderful virtual demonstration and got inspired to create their own flower posies for our Jubilee displays. Our home will be specially decorated for the upcoming festivities. Stay tuned.
Book corner with Graham Whitlock
We had a lovely time joining Graham Whitlock for an exciting virtual event to discuss his book ‘The Crystal Palace Chronicles: Star of Nimrod’.
Our residents were thrilled to find out more about the book and the fictional character Joe, who went on a rollercoaster adventure travelling back in time to the heyday of Victorian Crystal Palace.
Everyone had lots of fun during the virtual talk, as Graham took them on a clever and hilarious adventure. A great time was had by all.
Sunflower competition
Arbour Court are supporting Reuben’s Retreat in their Grow a sunflower competition. Residents helped our gardener sew Reubens sunflower seeds and await the measuring date in August.
National Tea Day
We sat out in our garden and celebrated National tea day with cakes and tea relaxing to classical music.
International Nurses Day
Our residents were eager say thank you to Arbour Courts Amazing nursing team. They were presented with a certificate and a bag of treats and followed by heartfelt speeches and applause.
Doughnuts for everyone!
Arbour Court celebrated doughnut day with a selection of Doughnuts and treats throughout the day for their staff and residents, we even reached out to the community sharing them with the local building team. Sweet treats were had by all.
