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 Fond Farewll to Students
Everyone at Sherwood Court would like to say farewell and good luck to Ella and Alisha, students from Preston College. It was our first time taking on students for work placement, and the girls said they have really enjoyed themselves spending time with each resident, helping out where they can, going on outings with the activities coordinator. Working alongside the carers, activities coordinator and the hostess to get an insight to health and social care and help Ella and Alisha to develop them both moving forward with their studies.
Well done for your efforts and huge good luck with your studies.
Lads Pub Treat
Here at Sherwood Court, we gave one of our birthday boys the treat he requested! Pub lunch and a tipple with pal James. The lads enjoyed fish and chips and burgers and chips, while watching the football with a tipple of choice to hand, they both thoroughly enjoyed themselves, James said “it is so good to be able to get out and do normal things like going to the pub for a pint” and of course how can we say no!
To finish off, we had ice cream sundaes and took the scenic route back to home while they both took in the fresh air and scenery.
Happy birthday Patrick,
Love team Sherwood Court.
Facetime
Here at Sherwood Court, we are committed to keeping residents in touch with their families as best we can. Facetimes are a beautiful way for families who live far, or just want a weekly chat with their loved ones, it brings so much joy to the resident and we are so happy to be able to share this moment; seeing families come together. Here is Pat chatting to her husband via facetime, telling him about the dancing she had just been doing while we had Abi in singing for joy. Amazing moment to capture.
Arts and Crafts
Here this afternoon at Sherwood Court, we avoided the wet weather by engaging in some Arts & Crafts. Family members joined in helping produce some fantastic art pieces including money boxes. Such a lovely way for our residents to enjoy doing what they loved to do growing up as children, residents talked about what their favourite type of art was and different ways to produce art. Some lovely pieces now displayed in their rooms.
Chinese New Year
Here today at Sherwood Court, our residents was treated to a delicious Chinese banquet meal, all prepared and served by our very own care assistant Jim-Li. Jim took up role in the kitchen alongside head chef Gary and between them served up the feast! Residents thoroughly enjoyed the meal that much that most had second helpings. Huge well done to the kitchen team for making this happen, thoroughly enjoyed by everyone.
1940s Music Performance
This afternoon at Sherwood Court, we were given an amazing 1940s war time favourites song performance by the brilliant Rachel mercer! Residents had wonderful magic one to one moments by the performer and it was so heart-warming to see by staff and family members. Each resident was given a little memorabilia from Rachel which they used to engage with the music, what a way to draw an end to a busy Tuesday afternoon for Sherwood Court!
