Activities at Cookridge Court Care Home

These Spring sunny days bring us so much joy here at Cookridge Court.

The ladies gathered for a catch-up, reminiscing the afternoon away, talking about their favourite memories over a refreshment of choice in our lovely outdoor terrace. 

Everyone had a lovely time, soaking up the rays and putting the world to rights.

We were delighted to welcome the wonderful children from one of our local schools, Cookridge Primary School.

Our residents were very excited to see the children, who came to do a reading session. Each child brought their favourite book and then read to our residents.

The memories that were created were absolutely heartwarming. We cannot wait to see the fabulous children of Cookridge Primary School again soon.

This week saw the fabulous return of the very famous Emma James, returning with yet another show stopper performance, which everyone danced the morning away with.

Resident's gathered together to enjoy the morning, singing along to some well known classic songs. The activities team got everyone up and dancing along, creating many wonderful memories for friends and family.

Emma is back next month for another brilliant performance.

Our residents had a delightful time during a special virtual sensory storytelling event, led by Art Historian Jon Sleigh from the Historic Royal Palaces.

Jon took us on a journey to discover some of the more unusual and unexpected inhabitants of the palaces and the Tower of London, sharing fascinating stories about the pets at the palaces.

Whilst enjoying the virtual experience, our residents were treated to hot beverages, delicious biscuits, berries and cakes.

It was a truly lovely time for all.

We welcomed back the return of the brilliant Northeast Producers Ltd who came to perform a springtime pantomime ’Mother Knows Best’

We had so much fun throughout the afternoon and even had audience participation, with resident Margaret making her debut and playing a part. 

The whole performance was joyous, the actors were amazing and our residents, families and team were laughing non stop. Throughout the performance we sang from start to finish which was beautiful.

Resident, Margaret said “I have had so much fun this afternoon. I loved playing my part and getting involved, I cannot wait for them to come again.”

Residents, friends, family and Staff enjoyed a Royal afternoon celebrating the coronation of King Charles III with our very own Garden Party.

We were thoroughly entertained by the fantastic ToeTapper’s with their amazing vocals getting the party well and truly started.

Our freshly cooked BBQ food and refreshments went down a treat for everyone to enjoy, with a special well done to our kitchen department who did a fantastic job.

Everyone at Cookridge Court, would like to say a special thankyou to all our family and friends who came and attended an absolutely fantastic afternoon. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.
