Activities at Ross Court Care Home
Activities are the cornerstone of a wholesome home experience, and our Activities Coordinators are always putting their creative minds to the test by organising new and exciting social events for residents to partake in. Of course, we take into account the likes and dislikes of those we support, so if someone doesn’t feel like trying something new, there will always be something on offer to reflect their personal interests. For the people who may just prefer some peace and quiet instead, we also offer one-to-one time that can be enjoyed with a nice cup of coffee or just a simple chat – whatever they desire.
Carly
Hello, my name is Carly, and I’m proud to be the Activities Coordinator here at Ross Court. I’m passionate about bringing joy, stimulation, and a sense of community to our residents through a wide variety of engaging and meaningful activities.
With a background in the community, I love creating experiences that cater to everyone’s interests—whether that’s music, arts and crafts, games, exercise, themed events, or trips out. My goal is to make every day fulfilling and to ensure that all our residents feel valued, involved, and connected.
I’m always open to new ideas and love working closely with residents and their families to tailor activities that reflect personal hobbies and preferences. Seeing smiles, hearing laughter, and being part of so many special moments is what makes my role so rewarding.
Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies
Life at Ross Court Care Home
Classic car show at Ross Court
This weekend, we had a selection of classic cars at Ross Court.
There were a variety of styles and colours! The residents all loved coming out and looking at them. There was plenty of reminiscing about what cars they used to drive – the Morris Minor was a favourite!
It was a lovely sunny morning, and all the car owners were happy to discuss their vehicles with the residents.
VE Day 80th anniversary celebrations
Today at Ross Court we had a great time celebrating the 80th anniversary of VE Day.
We started the day reminiscing with each other, sharing stories. Then in the afternoon we were lucky to have the fabulous Eddy, who came to sing for us.
In the evening, we went to St Mary’s Church, Ross-on-Wye, who hosted a special event to commemorate the 80th Anniversary of Victory in Europe. The event was led by students from John Kyrle High School, Veterans, Royal British Legion Members, Scouts, Guides and Uniformed Military Cadets. We were joined by the local community, and felt honoured to be there.
Beautiful day out on the water
Several of our residents recently spent a day at The Willow Trust in Gloucestershire on a canal boat. We were super lucky with the weather, and enjoyed a picnic lunch in the sunshine. Everyone enjoyed their time on the boat, and had a lot of fun taking it in turns to captain the boat!
We all enjoyed looking at the beautiful scenery around us, and seeing all the other boats on the water.
It was a truly magnificent day out and is still the talk of the home.
We are planning our next visit to The Willow Trust.
Eggcellent Easter Weekend
The residents had a lovely Easter weekend, which started with an Easter bonnet competition on Friday morning, which showed everyone’s creative side. In the afternoon, we invited friends, families and members of the community into the home for an Easter Egg hunt.
On Saturday, the residents enjoyed making Easter wreaths and playing Easter-themed games – including a firm favourite, the egg and spoon race. We also had a visit from the Easter Bunny, who delivered Easter Eggs to everyone.
We ended the weekend with a lovely Easter Sunday Roast.
Happy Mothers Day
We would love to wish all the mums, mother in laws , Nans, Aunts, Mums to be a very happy Mother’s Day
We hope you all had a very special day just like we did at Ross Court. We celebrated with lots of flowers , afternoon Tea with lots of freshly made goodies, singing , family/ friends and lots of love and laughter.
We would just like to take a minute to thank all our amazing staff who always put our residents first and who made this day so special for so many people.
Getting out and about
We love getting out and about on our mini bus!
Some of our residents today enjoyed a trip to Hereford Cathedral.
We loved looking around the cathedral and seeing the beautiful windows and how stunning it is! We all took a second to light a candle and a moment to reflect. We were even lucky enough to enjoy some delicious refreshments in the sunshine.
It was a great morning had by all.
