Life at Badgeworth Court Care Home
Farm Day at Badgeworth
On Saturday our Hospitality Time organised a Farm Day with Fox and Magpie Farm. It was a lovely therapy morning, where our residents had the opportunity to meet farm animals, such as sheep, chickens and a friendly horse. Our special morning was enjoyed by all: residents, families, friends and community members. There was a variety of sweet and savoury treats, cakes and refreshing drinks, prepared by our talented chef. We all had a fantastic time.
Boat Trip
What a gorgeous day we had relaxing on the water with the Willow trust on their accessible boat. Run by volunteers, we all had an amazing time on the boat. The weather was just perfect and everyone enjoyed a picnic, the fresh air and relaxing watching the wildlife and beauty of the waterside. Residents commented that it was like having a holiday! Everyone had a go at being captain by driving the boat, Terence said: “It is the best trip we have had, a great experience, it is so appreciated, I would like to come again!” Badgeworth Court would like to say thank you to the volunteers were so kind and caring during the whole trip. You are fantastic and we are looking forward to next year already!

Brazilian Traditions
As the weather is still warm and sunny, we decided to explore some Brazilian traditions. First, our residents enjoyed a cooking class, where they experimented with some new themed recipes, followed by a relaxing music performance by a guitarist, Steve. To finish the lovely day off, everyone had the chance to enjoy refreshing fruit cocktails. It was a great Saturday at Badgeworth Court.
Busy Monday at Badgeworth Court!
Our residents started the morning with a visit to our hair salon, where they enjoyed a lovely pamper session provided by our Hairdresser, Kerry. Throughout the day, our residents were treated to a fantastic show by Cats Pyjamas. A lovely musical show with hits from the 60s. Everyone was thrilled to sing along and practise their dance moves. There were refreshments and delicious homemade cakes too, made by our talented Hospitality team members. A great time was had by all.
