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
Creating a Woodland Trail
Ross Court residents have been working hard with Activities Coordinator Hayley to add to the woodland trail. We look forward to inviting in local nurseries and schools to follow the trail. There are lots of fun and interesting items along the way. The Ross Court grounds are looking amazing - please do stroll around on your next visit, there really is something to see around every corner.
Local MP Jesse Norman Visits Ross Court
Ross Court residents and staff welcomed MP for Hereford and South Herefordshire Jesse Norman to discuss local issues. Residents had a number of questions, some more serious topics such as opportunities for young people in rural Herefordshire, support for farmers and how often Jesse attended Parliament. Some questions were more light hearted as Jesse was at Eton while Boris was there.
Jesse also spoke proudly of his wife, Dame Kate Bingham who was Chair of the Vaccine Task Force that procured and formulated the strategy for the roll out of the Covid Vaccination Programme. Staff and residents alike spoke of how critical the Covid vaccination has been.
Over a lovely afternoon tea, prepared by Darren and his team, conversation flowed and we thank Jesse for his time.
Ross Court recently had a CQC inspection and was deemed good in all areas so also we asked Jesse to be photographed with some of the team celebrating their success.
Hug the Home with Bunting Judging
It was a very productive morning at Ross Court as residents spent time judging and selecting the winners for our Hug the Home with Bunting competition. It was not an easy decision with all the entries decorated so beautifully. Thank you so much to the children of the schools who entered, the residents have loved having the bunting on display.
Hug The Home with Bunting
Ross Court are really enjoying the arrivial of the bunting for our "Hug the Home with Bunting" competition. We have displayed it around the home, with each bunting a hug from a child to our residents. It is going to be very difficult to select winners from such wonderful designs and colour.
Prosecco Afternoon
Ross Court residents enjoyed a wonderful afternoon relaxing while they drank prosecco and enjoyed a visit from Ben the puppy.
Flowers and Gardens
We all love flowers inside and outside of Ross Court, we know our residents love receiving flowers and Morrisons kindly donate flowers to the home for our flower arranging.
As we head towards the warmer weather we have also been planting in our gardens as well as adding interest including wind chimes, and residents helped to make a sun catcher.
