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.

Our first Dog Show event
What an amazing time we had at our first ever dog show, even despite the poor weather! Thank you to all who joined us in the rain, it was a fantastic turn out and a great success We loved seeing all of the adorable dogs strutting their stuff in each category. A massive thank you as well to Deputy Mayor of Fareham Councillor Pal Hayre and her Consort Mr. Narinder Hayre for being the judges and choosing our wonderful winners
We raised a fantastic amount for Stubbington Ark and are already looking forward to doing another dog show…hopefully in better weather
National Ice Cream Day
Our residents had a fantastic time during a special live virtual event in celebration of National Ice Cream Day.
Wall’s team took us on a great journey through history, haring fascinating details about the brand since it’s launch in 1922. We learnt about major innovations such as the introduction of Mr Whippy, Cornetto, Carte d’Or etc. All whilst enjoying some of our favourite Wall’s ice creams
Games, set and match
We thoroughly enjoyed following the Wimbledon tournament this year
Our tennis fans enjoyed watching the final this weekend from the comfort of their armchairs or in the cinema room with some delicious strawberries, cream and a glass of pimms
We also enjoyed some themed arts and crafts to get us really in the spirit
Guide Dogs UK
This week we had the honour of having Tom Mcinulty doing a talk for us on his life story and the work that Guide Dogs UK have done to help him and so many other visually impaired people. Tom’s story was very inspirational to us all and his dog Toby was of course too cute not to love A massive thank you to Tom and Toby for taking the time to come and visit us and informing us more of the great work that this wonderful charity does
Friday is party time
There’s nothing better than a Friday boogie and singalong to get us in good spirits for the weekend
Big thank you to Amanda Parsons - Songbird Entertainments for another wonderful performance that always gets our residents up dancing
