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
Pudding Club
What a brilliant time we had at our pudding club!
Our talented hospitality team prepared several different puddings for our residents and special guest to taste test. From Syrup Sponge, Apple turnover's and Apple pie these puddings really did have our taste buds watering.
Our special guests from our local community kindly helped us judge which pudding would take 1st place.
The winner was Syrup Sponge which took the majority vote from all our judges!
Thank you to everyone that attended.
St David's Day
We had a brilliant day celebrating St David's Day at Ross Court.
To be in line with Welsh traditions, we decorated our home with flags, daffodils and leeks. Our residents were also treated to a traditional welsh themed lunch.
After lunch we had the brilliant performer Eddie, who sung traditional welsh songs for us.
It was brilliant day had by all.
