Activities at Iris Court Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life. Activities are an integral part of life at our care home. We want to ensure that the people we support have as much fun as possible during their time with us, so it’s important that our activities programme is created with the interests of residents in mind. Our skilled Activities Coordinators will bring a certain uniqueness to the home that can’t be found anywhere else, and which is reflected in the activities they organise.
Natalie Robinson
Hello, I'm Natalie, and for nearly five enriching years, I've dedicated myself to the role of an activity coordinator. My passion lies in understanding the unique interests of each individual under our care. At Iris Court, I strive to craft activities tailored to the preferences of our residents, ensuring no one ever feels socially isolated. Whether someone wants to participate minimally or fully immerse themselves, my goal remains constant: fostering a sense of community and joy in every moment.
Join me as we embark on this journey of connection, laughter, and shared experiences. Together, let's create cherished memories that will illuminate the path ahead. Welcome to Iris Court, where every day holds the promise of something special.
Activities and Events Partnerships

Life at Iris Court Care Home
Budding new friendships
At Iris Court we love seeing new friendships being built, whilst doing the things our residents love and enjoyed doing before life at Iris Court.
Some of our lovely ladies have enjoyed time outside in our stunning gardens, planting some beautiful flowers in our raised beds and enjoying some of the sunshine whilst it lasts!.
Iris Courts Pub Visit
Iris Court enjoyed a lovely visit to local pub The Bird In Hand situated in Gosmore.
Staff and residents enjoyed the visit to the local pub for the afternoon, with our residents enjoying a glass of their favourite tipple, Wine, Ale or a cider, whilst enjoying some delicious food also!.
Regularly popping out for a coffee, pub lunches and soon to be mini bus trips and other outings is an essential part of our weekly activity Calendar at Iris Court.
Birthday Celebrations for Denzilin
Iris Court have been celebrating a very special birthday for a lovely lady today!.
Welcoming 80 years with style we had a party this afternoon with plenty of music, dancing and of course Prosecco!.
At Iris Court we celebrate birthdays not just as a mark of ageing another year, but as a mark of celebrations of life, achievements and personal growth. It is a time of reflection, gratitude and looking forward to future possibilities. Birthdays provide a special opportunity for us to help residents gather with loved ones and create lasting memories.
