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
A visit from Oreo
This afternoon at Sherwood Court we had Orea the cat to visit the residents and he thoroughly enjoyed the attention. The residents loved the snuggling with him.
This brought back a lot of memories for most of the residents and invoked a discussion about cat names we had a lot of fun.
Apacas visit Sherwood Court
Alpacas visited Sherwood Court. The residents, staff, family and friends all loved them. The alpacas came from Woodend Farm with a small team to help. They moved around the home in to bedrooms and the lift! It was a wonderful shock for all the residents. No mess was made, but hearts touched.
We also had some children from Sherwood primary school come over and share the experience with us as part of our community engagement.
The Power of the Internet
This morning at Sherwood Court, we recieved a message through Facebook from a relative of one of our residents, Barbara. Barbara was included in a photograph with other nurses she worked alongside. This picture was spotted on the Preston past and present site.
We printed the picture off and gave Barbara the copies. She was over the moon! This brought back some wonderful memories for her, and she couldn't wait to tell us all of her stories.
A Visit from Brian with his Fiddle
Residents had a lovely surpruse this afternoon when Brian came to play his fiddle. Brian took the time to visit each resident in the home and play them a tune. Everybody has really enjoyed this and can't wait to welcome Brian back again soon.
A Workout for the mind
Here at Sherwood Court, some serious concentration has been going on. Our residents have been taking on puzzles and colouring, it’s the little things that can really stimulate the mind. The residents have really enjoyed this activity.
Relaxing with Sensory Lights
Here at Sherwood court, some of our residents are relaxing with sensory lights. They are a calming and relaxing piece of equipment that help create stimulating environments for all needs. This also helps with focusing on attention to detail and helps soothe.
