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
Remembrance Sunday
Several residents enjoyed an afternoon of poppy making ready for Remembrance Sunday.
101 Years Young
We celebrated a 101st birthday at Latimer Court on the 15th November 2017. Balloons, lots of cake and a glass or two of bubbly were enjoyed by residents and loved ones.
St Peter's Church Garden Centre
On Thursday 14th September, four residents enjoyed a trip to St Peter’s Garden Centre in Worcester to see the autumn display of colourful flowers, shrubs, bedding plants and to purchase a selection of spring bulbs to plant in pots for our garden. They all loved the outing and were laughing and joking there and back on the minibus.
Worcester Woods
On Thursday 8th September, two residents enjoyed a walk in the fresh air at Worcester Woods. The woods are local to Latimer Court and are a lovely opportunity for residents to see the seasons changing and to enjoy a cup of tea in the lovely café.
A New Member of the Team!
Blue the budgie arrived after a desperate plea to home him as he was being bullied in the aviary. Michelle (Administrator) fetched him and he now enjoys entertaining residents and visitors in the bistro. He is only four months old but is settling in well and we are hoping he will start talking soon. He is enjoying the singing group each week and likes to join in. He is also an attention-seeker and loves the attention he is getting from the ladies.
Vintage Garden Party
On Sunday the 20th August, we held a Vintage Garden Party. The weather was not on our side on the day, so we dressed up the family room as a tea room with vintage bunting and decorations and vintage china on each of the tables and put out jam jars of fresh flowers. A table of vintage craft items for sale, a table top sale and a tombola finished off the effect and a pianist played some live music for us throughout the event.
We were overwhelmed with the number of residents, loved ones and members of the local community who attended, along with the Mayor & Mayoress of Worcester. In fact, we had over 100 attend!
Everyone enjoyed the afternoon – especially the cream tea with finger sandwiches, with no crusts in sight – and the home received some lovely compliments. The event was so popular that we will be hosting another similar event in the future!
