Activities at Florence Court Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.
Activities are the cornerstone of a wholesome home experience, and our Activities Coordinators are always putting their creative minds to the test by organising new and exciting social events for residents to partake in. Of course, we take into account the likes and dislikes of those we support, so if someone doesn’t feel like trying something new, there will always be something on offer to reflect their personal interests. For the people who may just prefer some peace and quiet instead, we also offer one-to-one time that can be enjoyed with a nice cup of coffee or just a simple chat – whatever they desire.

Abigail Filkins
Activities Co-ordinator
Hello, I'm Abi and I have proudly been part of the Florence Court team for the past three years. I started as an Activities Assistant where I helped facilitate activities within the home, and during this time I have loved getting to know our residents and helping to make every day special. Having been promoted to Activities Coordinator, my role is to plan, organise and deliver a wide variety of activities that bring enjoyment, stimulation, and a sense of community to everyone who lives here.
For me, the most rewarding part of my job is seeing residents smile, laugh and connect with others. I thoroughly enjoy taking the time to get to know all of the residents, learn about their hobbies, interests, and hearing about their life stories. Everyday is different and this is what makes my role so unique and rewarding, to know you are enriching the lives of others.
Outside of work, I have a passion for travel and exploring new countries. I have been to over 25 countries and counting! I also love spending time with my lively Sprocker Spaniel Maisie, who is the best adventure buddy.
Celebrating life at Florence Court Care Home
M & S trip
Our lovely residents enjoyed a trip out to M&S for a spot of shopping. They had a great time browsing the aisles, choosing a few treats and enjoying some time out together. They also stopped off for a sweet treat and coffee to finish off the afternoon.
A little taste of tradition
Our residents had a wonderful time making their very own butter!
There were plenty of smiles, laughter and a little hard work as we turned cream into delicious homemade butter.
National Cheesecake Day!
Our lovely residents celebrated national cheesecake day by making their very own delicious chocolate cheesecake. They were hands-on, crushing the biscuit base to adding the creamy chocolate filling and finishing with tasty toppings. Everyone enjoyed getting hands on in the kitchen. The best part was sitting down together to enjoy the finished cheesecakes.
Rock and roll with Matt
A huge thank you to Matt O’Neil for another fantastic performance. As always, our residents thoroughly enjoyed every moment with plenty of singing, smiling and toe-tapping along to the music.
We are already looking forward to your next visit.”
Summer afternoons at the pub
Last week, we enjoyed a relaxing trip to Titchfield Mill for drinks in their beer garden. It was lovely to cool down with refreshing beverages and to socialise with friends.
The sun was shining, and we spent the afternoon laughing together, sharing stories about places we’ve visited, lived, and the experiences we’ve had along the way.
Oktoberfest
We had a fantastic time at Florence Court celebrating Oktoberfest.
Our residents enjoyed a delicious selection of Bavarian food and some German beer, followed by a fun Oktoberfest quiz. A huge thank you to our kitchen team for the delicious food.
Five years of Florence
We had the best time bringing a taste of Hawaii to our home with our Hawaiian-themed party for our 5-year anniversary. We welcomed residents and families, past and present, as well as all staff to celebrate this wonderful milestone. A huge thank you to everyone who attended and helped make the day so special.
The smiles, laughter and fantastic spirit made the celebration one to remember.
Bingo Bonanza at Florence Court
Our first evening bingo session was a great success! Residents enjoyed an evening full of fun, laughter and a little healthy competition as they put their luck to the test. Well done to all of our lucky winners!
Mad Hatter's Tea Party
To celebrate Alice In Wonderland day, residents gathered together to enjoy a delicious selection of cakes, tea and coffee while surrounded by themed props and decorations.
The bistro was transformed into a magical setting, creating a fun and memorable atmosphere for everyone to enjoy.
Father's Day BBQ
Father’s day was celebrated in style here at Florence Court with a BBQ and amazing entertainment from Nathalie Gunn.
It was a beautiful, hot and sunny day filled with laughter, dancing and unforgettable memories.
Thank you to all our staff for their assistance and a big shout out to our wonderful kitchen team for ensuring all resident’s and their families were catered for.
Music brings us together
We were delighted to welcome Freddie Saxo back to Florence Court for a fantastic afternoon of live saxophone music and singing. Our residents thoroughly enjoyed the performance with everyone getting involved, singing along and clapping to the music.
St Peters Church Visit
Anna & Lin from St Peters Church joined us for a creative activity inspired by God’s Net Of Love. Together, we made a colourful net and fish scene with everyone getting involved and sharing their creativity. A lovely way to spend time together, reflect on the meaning behind the activity and enjoy some fun along the way.
National ice cream day
There was no better way to celebrate National Ice Cream Day than with delicious ice cream sundaes. Our residents got stuck in creating their own sundaes with a wonderful selection of toppings to choose from. From sprinkles, to sauces and a few tasty extra’s, there was something for everyone.
A lovely afternoon filled with smiles, laughter and of course, ice cream!
The Wind in the Willows Play
Today we enjoyed a trip to West Hill Park School to watch their dress rehearsal of their musical rendition of The Wind in the Willows.
The children all put so much hard work into their performance, and you could tell how much time and effort was put into the whole production by the school. The set was absolutely fantastic.
The residents at Florence Court were overjoyed watching their performance and had a wonderful time!
Cheese and Wine Evening
We had a wonderful evening yesterday, enjoying cheese and wine in our beautiful garden, taking in the late sunshine!
We sampled a delicious variety of cheeses, crackers, and tasty accompaniments. It was still beautifully warm – the perfect setting for a relaxing evening!
We are very much looking forward to our next evening of fun!
