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.

Life at Ross Court Care Home
Jubilee Production Line!
With time ticking until the Ross Court big Jubilee event, we have got a production line going to make the decorations. Stella thought the flowers would look good as a headband. Ross court really is a sea of red, white and blue!
Every Day is Different
There is always something going on at Ross Court! Today was a very busy day Paula, our hairdresser visited to do residents hair - always popular and the ladies looked lovely, while having their hair done and waiting the music was on with everyone enjoying each other's company while having a cuppa and natter. We also enjoyed a fun visit from Ben our resident pup, ending a busy afternoon with a fun Jubilee quiz.
Police and Gin!
Ross Court residents had an amazing day welcoming 1st CPO Dave and Kirsten from Ross-On-Wye Police Station. The residents interrogated them! Questions included "what's your jurisdiction"," what's crime like in Ross" and many other interesting questions. Thank you so much for your time.
Then we had Gin tasting afternoon, there were lots of different flavours, from Parma Violets to Mediterranean Orange. What a lovely afternoon, enjoyed by all.
Jubilee Preparations
Ross Court residents are getting ready for our platinum jubilee celebrations, we created our own red, white and blue flowers and look forward to making more decorations over the next couple of week. To accompany the creativity residents enjoyed a tipple of Baileys!
Glorious Gardens
The gardens are looking lovely at Ross Court, as we did our afternoon walks residents stopped to weed the raised beds. The sun flowers are growing so the residents put in a few sticks to support them. We then went into the conservatory for a relaxing afternoon tea.
Hug the Home with Bunting Competition Winners
Congratulations to all those who won an Easter egg in the Ross Court Hug the Home with Bunting competition.

Thank you so much to the schools that participated, Ashfield Park School, Thrupp School and Walford Primary and Nursery School.
