Dan Taylor-Edwards
I'm Dan and I'm the Activities Coordinator here at Latimer Court. I joined the team in 2022. I have worked in care for many years as a carer and activities roles, and absolutely love my role here. I love working with the elderly and have a real passion to enrich every day and make their lives as special as they can be.
I have many ideas for group activities and events as well as for individual interactions, and love seeing these ideas coming to life and the difference it makes to each resident's day!

Life at Latimer Court Care Home
Christmas crafts
It's The big build up to Christmas, and residents love arts and crafts. But when its Christmas it’s even better. Some of the residents enjoyed painting Christmas trees and making Christmas cards. But one lady wanted to help the activities coordinator with making Christmas decorations for the dining rooms for Christmas day, 2 hours later we handmade 4 beautiful garlands.
Blue Bell farm pub lunch
Our residents had a lovely afternoon at Blue Bell Farm. Residents really enjoyed their pub lunch outing in Worcester. Most of them enjoyed a lovely carvery and one gent really wanted fish and chips, Stanley said to Dan that was the best fish and chips that he has ever had in his life, Stanley also said he can’t wait to go home and have a little nap.
Webb’s garden centre outing
Our ladies had a lovely morning at Webb’s garden centre in Worcester going round looking at the Christmas displays and a spot of shopping. Pat said to Dan, our activities coordinator, that she really enjoyed herself, looking round and buying some cards ready for Christmas. After looking around Webb’s we went down to the café and had a lovely warm cup of tea.
