Activities at Sherwood Court Care Home

Here at Sherwood Court, we have been super lucky to have the staff from Spar Shop come to us and put on a coffee morning, Alison & Alex supplied all the essentials for a fantastic event - some very tasty treats indeed!

We are the first community engagement for the spar and this is something they are going to continue with and we are very much looking forward it. Alison & Alex really enjoyed their experience here, they said the residents are beautiful and lovely, and they really enjoyed meeting everyone.

Here at Sherwood Court, domestic staff Joanne and Sid are sat looking through the Everton program from the weekends match. Sid is a huge Everton fan, and was a keen match goer when he could make it, he was made up looking through the program and telling Joanne of his days going on the games and collecting match programs. A little kind gesture of something so small always goes the furthest.

Here this morning at Sherwood Court, residents have made it over to the weekly coffee morning the North Preston Evangelical Church. We are always warmly welcomed by the warm community and our residents thoroughly enjoy attending. Bill was completely amazed as it was his first time attending, he chatted away with the ladies, and enjoyed cuddles off the dogs that came along.

Attending coffee morning is always something to look forward too, outing in fresh air, community engagement and supplied by plenty of tea and coffee.

Thank you to the staff, for always ensuring that residents are good to go and enjoy their day!

Here at Sherwood Court, we have some new keen members to our gardening club! Hosted by Hayley, Barbara and Elizabeth have took up their tools and bulbs and got potting away this morning, both Barbara and Elizabeth shared fond memories of keeping their gardens in good order, and no matter the weather, would always be outside potting new flowers, pulling up weeds or just sat admiring their hard efforts of their beautiful gardens.

Gardening connects us with nature, and it is found that spending time in green spaces helps people destress and relax. This is important for our residents as it can help overcome feelings of loneliness, isolation and help us come together to embrace the natural beauty that Sherwood Court’s garden has to offer.

Here today at Sherwood Court, Hayley and Cath visited our local Asda, to meet with community champion Debbie. Debbie has been busy putting together a lovely donation for Sherwood Court’s annual Easter raffle, which is fast approaching. Debbie thoroughly enjoys meeting our residents and is always on hand to rely on for a donation, she really does enjoy helping our home!

Thankyou Asda (Fulwood) for your continued support to our home.

Here today at Sherwood Court, residents have thoroughly enjoyed meeting Border Collie, Jax! He is a 6 year old Welsh Collie, and thoroughly enjoyed giving out cuddles and kisses as much as receiving them. Residents really engaged with Jax, brought so many smiles and out came fond memories of our residents pets they owned.

Pet therapy is a great way to aid with anxiety, depression, help people communicate, bring happiness and joy and a sense of love. Resident Elizabeth wanted to keep Jax as she said he is the most beautiful puppy dog she has seen in a long time, Liz normally sits out daily waiting for Robin to feed him, however today she got to interact with Jax!
