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

Residents at Sherwood court have been hard at work being very creative with arts and crafts to celebrate 30 years of Barchester - Celebrating Life
Residents remember the fallen
Sherwood Court in Preston commemorated the signing of the Armistice Day agreement on the day that the guns finally fell silent. They joined the rest of the United Kingdom in holding a two-minute silence at the eleventh hour, on the eleventh day, of the eleventh month. As well as marking Armistice Day by wearing poppies and observing the national two minute silence, residents took part in therapeutic activities making poppy and listening to old wartime songs, reading war poems. Barbara, a resident at Sherwood Court, said: “It is very important that we keep the memories of those who fought alive and that we also think about those involved in conflicts around the world today.”
Coffee Morning
Coffee morning is a favourite activity at Sherwood court. The north Evangelical church in Preston always makes the residents welcome with homemade cake and a listening, caring ear.
Pamper Day

An Afternoon of Music.

Remembrance Day
Residents from Sherwood court visited Preston cenotaph to lay a homemade wreath that they had worked hard on all week and pay their respects. The residents were lucky to meet the mayor and he thanked them for their service.
