Activities at Latimer Court Care Home
Here at Latimer Court, we have a varied social programme that includes themed events once a month, painting classes, day trips out, exercise classes and arts & crafts, to name but a few. We strive to tailor our activities to suit everyone's needs, and update our notice boards weekly so that all families and visitors can see what their loved ones have been up to. Our aim is to make sure that those we support can enjoy a happy and fulfilled stay with us. You can take a look at some of our regular activities by clicking here.
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
Gardening Club
The Gardening Club is in full swing now that the weather has been on our side. Hazel is the queen of the hanging baskets; her displays are coming into bloom, much to the delight of us all. She attends to them each and every day.
Evesham Garden Centre
Residents enjoyed a minibus trip out to Evesham Garden Centre to have a look at all the beautiful summer flowers and to have a little browse in the shop. This was followed by a well-earned tea and a toasted tea cake. They had a wonderful time and were chatting about their adventure over lunch when they got back.
Royal Wedding Celebrations
On Saturday 19th May, we held a street party to celebrate the royal wedding. After watching the beautiful ceremony on TV, everyone gathered into our garden and enjoyed music by Debbie Miles. There was lots of laughter and games and the Pimm's was flowing. We were blessed with beautiful weather and everyone enjoyed the day.
Arts & Crafts
On Saturday 21st April, we held an arts & crafts session, which was run by Abi from Creative Station. We sat outside and enjoyed the sunshine whilst making button art pictures. The residents were able to use their lovely creations to brighten their rooms. It was a lovely, fun session, which you can see by the smiles on residents' faces.
Easter Celebrations
Easter celebrations started at Latimer with yummy cupcake decorating with Mandy, our Admin Assistant, who is well-known for her gorgeous cakes – and residents loved them!
Alpacas at Latimer
On Thursday 5th April, we welcomed Cotswold Vale Alpacas to Latimer Court. Cosmo visited all of our communities and was loved by everyone. Two of the young alpacas also came for socialisation and some cuddles. We will be visiting the farm in the summer to see the babies!
