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
Flower Arranging
On Tuesday14th June, residents of Ross Court sat with the activities team for a session of flower arranging. They had their choice of vases in all different sizes and a bountiful array of fresh flowers to choose from. The ladies skillfully cut the flowers to size and arranged them creatively for each of our rooms. The dining room and communal areas smell beautiful. They thoroughly enjoyed the session and we are planning to make it a regular event.
National Chocolate Day
National Chocolate Day on the 7th July; we started the day by decorating chocolate cakes supplied by our talented chefs. In the afternoon, residents enjoyed a wide range of chocolate kindly donated by Morrison’s Ross-on-Wye accompanied by a reading on the history of chocolate and rounded off with a chocolate quiz!
Ross Court Art Club
One of our residents; Hilary is putting the finishing touches to a piece she has been working on for a few weeks. She has her eye on her new project to start at our next art session. The art group classes are run weekly by our activities coordinator Lindsey and proudly placed on display for all to view.
Green Fingered Fun
On Thursday 2nd July 2020, our residents had the choice of planting herbs for our mini indoor greenhouses to keep in their rooms or pots to go on the patio. We are all looking forward to seeing the first shoots and donating the herbs to the kitchen when they are grown.
Cake and Biscuit Design
On Wednesday 30th June 2020, our residents took part in a cake and biscuit decorating session with Host, Bernie. Some fantastic designs were produced. Even more enjoyable was the eating of them while we had our afternoon tea and listened to music. residents have said that next time we should have a competition for best design.
