Activities at Florence Court Care Home
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.
Jessica Duery
I have been working in the Care Sector for 5 years and started out as a Domestic and Laundry Assistant. I decided that I wanted to progress my career in an Activities capacity so became an activities provider then progressed to an Activities Co-Ordinator which I did for 2 years prior to joining the team at Florence Court . I have a real passion for Activities and get a great deal of pleasure in enriching the residents life's through meaningful activities. I love getting to know the residents and spending time with them finding out what they love to do. Every day is very different and rewarding.

Pancake Day
Today we enjoyed celebrating Shrove Tuesday by making some delicious pancakes. Our residents loved using our new pancake maker and getting to prepare their pancakes themselves. We were traditional and topped them with lemon and sugar, delicious!
Therapy Dogs
This week we have had the pleasure of being visited by not one but two therapy dogs. They brought such joy to our residents who loved stroking and giving them treats! Many of our residents recalled their past family pets and the great happiness they brought. Dogs have a great calming effect and bring a great deal of comfort so we love whenever we have them visit us.
