Activities at Queens Court Care Home
Activities are one of the most important aspects of our care home, providing fun and companionship, so it is essential that our team are dedicated to ensuring that residents are entertained and that life at Queens Court is fun and active. Throughout the home, there is a choice of lounges, which have been designed for people who enjoy socialising and love making new friends. Music therapy, speakers of interest, events, cinema screenings and family events are offered regularly, as well as the Book Club or Poetry Corner, for those who enjoy quieter activities. Our social programme is varied and exciting and is available seven days a week. You can be as busy as you like. Our friends of Queens Court regularly support our special events and activities at the home, which include trips to the seaside and National Trust site

World Book Day
Our residents thoroughly enjoyed a "Zoom" World Book Day event compliments of the lovely children of Thomas' Clapham, Kings College, The Study Prep and Wimbledon Common Prep primary schools. The children read some wonderfully entertaining passages dressed in really creative and colourful character costumes culminating in us awarding the schools with donated books of their choice for the school libraries. It was just smashing!
