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

Senior Activities Co-Ordinator

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.

Life at Florence Court Care Home

Our New Deputy Manager

Welcome To Our New Deputy Manager Sarah! Sarah has worked in the care industry for over 18 years now! so has a wealth of experience! Sarah has been a Community Carer for the last 10 years which involved career progression into a Deputy Manager role. Sarah then felt the need to take on a new and exciting challenge so when the position for a Deputy came up at Florence Court she was more than happy to apply. sarah commented "My home life is just as busy with 5 dogs and 2 children but I love every minute of it and I am looking forward to my future with Barchester". We are all very thrilled to have Sarah with us at the home and she has fitted in nicely, not to mention the residents love her.

Festive entertainers

Florence Court had our very first entertainers this month, Amanda Parsons and Brian Budden! We had great fun dancing and singing in the Bistro!

Blenheim lights

It’s far too cold to see the light in real life so instead we cosied up by the fire with a glass of red and a warm mince pie to see the lights at Blenheim Palace.

Festive photobooth

To celebrate the start of Christmas, we got in the festive spirit and had a little photoshoot! All photos of all our residents can be found on our Facebook page

Christmas Wreath Making!

Christmas Wreath Making!✨

 

Our residents at Florence Court have been getting creative by making their own personalised Christmas wreaths.

It was a great afternoon of festive fun and the residents really enjoyed completing their masterpieces. The residents have asked that our home donate these Wreaths to our local NHS heroes and District Nurses that visit us here at Florence Court on occasions.

 

Pamper Morning At Florence Court

???Pamper Day For Our Residents At Florence Court! ???

Residents enjoyed a morning of pampering by the staff at the home, which involved hand massages and nail painting. It was a great experience for everyone involved!

Olivia, our Senior Carer, commented "I might take this up as a new profession!". We all laughed and said that she should stick to doing what she does best, which is providing outstanding care for our residents.
