Activities at Sherwood Court Care Home
Our home is always full of life, and we can thank our wonderful Activities Coordinators for this. Dedication to creating a unique and interesting activities programme is what sets us apart from other homes. We always take into consideration that some people would prefer to pursue their own interests, which is why our team strive to incorporative activities that cater to a wide range of tastes and hobbies. Our trips out are always fun and exciting as well, and residents are guaranteed to return with stories to tell their loved ones!

Life at Sherwood Court Care Home
Alans little walk
Getting out and about for the residents is so very important, out shopping or just to post a letter in the box. Alan enjoyed a walk with staff in the woods to the post box looking at the birds then counting cars. Most of all, he was over the moon to have helped others to do their job. He said it was an achievement and felt happy the rest of the day to have helped others. We had a cup of tea back at Sherwood and a chat with others to finish our day.
Mothers Day
Mothering Sunday is a special day for lots of are ladies and most went out with family or family visited with flowers and chocolate so mother’s day was celebrated on Monday at the home Sherwood court with a tea party for everyone but most of all for those that don’t have anyone.

Historic Royal Palaces
Across our services, our residents were treated to a special virtual sensory storytelling session. Together with Art Historian Jon Sleigh and the Historic Royal Palaces community team, we explored several royal palaces through the theme of food, dining and celebration!
We enjoyed a fantastic taste-a-long experience from the comfort of our home, from Tudor treats to Stuart sweets. A lovely time was had by all.
Virtual Book Club
We had a lovely time joining Mark Piesing for an exciting virtual event to discuss his book ‘N-4 Down: The Hunt for The Arctic Airship Italia’.
Our residents were thrilled to find out more about the book and the fascinating story of the world-famous exploring airship Italia, returning from the North Pole on May 24, 1928. The airship was struck by a terrible storm and crashed somewhere over the Arctic ice, triggering the largest polar rescue mission in history.
A great performance from Christie Charles
This afternoon at Sherwood Court, we had Christie Charles come and visit us, and what a show she put on! She brought along different musical instruments for our residents to use during her performances, and Christie really engaged well with everyone.
