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.

Tour de Barchester
Tour de Barchester!
This morning we had the honour of being the first stop on day 3 of the wonderful charity bike ride our senior team are doing. Over four days they will cycle 276miles from Exeter to Purley, stopping at 15 new care homes across Barchesters South division, raising funds for Barchesters Charitable foundation!
To welcome them we enjoyed a nutrional breakfast with freshly made delicious smoothies
Our team then helped raise fund with a bake sale and spin-a-thon where we managed an amazing 50 miles!
A big thank you to Holly Hill Leisure Centre for very kindly lending us one of their spin bikes and to Conor and James from Meon Health Practice for coming to support

National Donut Day
National Donut Day 🍩
There's no better way to spend a lovely afternoon, than in the sun enjoying donuts and cocktails with friends 🥰
A healthy body and happy mind
We understand the importance of remaining active and celebrated National Senior Health and Fitness day with a variety of fun-filled activities.
Residents enjoyed some light exercise with a game of badminton both indoors and out, walks round the garden whilst others participated in a virtual seated exercise session with the use of our pedal exercisers.
We also took the time to learn more about the benefits of physical activity and how it can improve anxiety and overall well-being.
Just a pop to the beach.....
What better way to spend a sunny afternoon than taking a trip in the minibus down to the beach for an Ice cream
We really enjoy our weekly minibus trips and now that the weather's so lovely, residents love being able to take a short journey down to the seaside A lovely time was had all round and we're looking forward to our next adventure out
Cocktails, Quiz, fun and the sun!
Now the sun is out, lets all get together for ' Pimms O'clock' , cocktails, quizzes and time to chat and relax under the shade in our gardens.
Celebrating Chelsea Flower Show💐
Everyone seems to love flowers and residents are no exception and we all had a lovely time doing their own flowers arrangements and displays, discussing the many vibrant colours of the flowers and spending time in our garden. They all looked amazing.
