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.

Life at Florence Court Care Home
A little help from our friends
Recently, we had the pleasure of being joined by some students from local school West Hill Park School. Residents loved seeing what work the children had been up to, reading their books with them and we all enjoyed planting some sunflowers! We look forward to our next visit and seeing if the seeds have grown
An afternoon with the Bowls Club Buddies
Popping out in our minibus enabled us to have the pleasure of reuniting Betty with her old Bowls team.Both Betty and her husband had played there for many years & Betty retired from the bowls team about 10 years ago but never gave up her love of it! She was delighted to be back playing in her old club again and catching up with the team members who are still playing from Betty's time there. What a lovely afternoon and it was topped it off by reminiscing on the bench she donated in her husbands memory
A big thank you to Bridgemary Bowls club for a wonderful afternoon
Working with our Community

'I do love to be beside the seaside!'
Seaside fun in the sun
Everyone love our minibus trips and this week it was decided we should make the most of the sunshine and spent the afternoon at the beach. We enjoyed a stroll along the shore, throwing stones at the waters edge and stopping for an ice cream whilst admiring the view
Garden club fun
Being in the garden, enjoying the fresh air and the feel of the soil between your fingers is a joy to many. With everyone seeing the flowers blooming and seeds growing, our gardens are looking lovely.
Right Royal Event
Residents, families, friends and staff all got together for a 'Right Royal Rave Up' and joined the rest of the country in celebrating the Coronation of our King. It was fantastic to see so many people join us for such a wonderful event.
