Activities at Waterside Court Care Home
We understand that the people we support have passions and interests that could be difficult to pursue after moving into a care home – but that doesn’t mean we don’t encourage them to try! Some hobbies can define a person, so our Activities Coordinators are dedicated to ensuring that everyone we support is able to do what makes them happy to the best of their abilities. Social events are organised with individual tastes in mind and with the idea that residents have the opportunity to try new and exciting things.

Happy Birthday 'Amazing Mollie'
The fellow residents of 'Amazing Mollie' gathered together to wish her the most beautiful of birthdays. She woke up to a pimped walker, courtesy of the care team and an array of cards and gifts from her friends and family.
Mollie's day was all planned, she enjoyed a wonderful surprise outing with her sister, son and family for Afternoon Tea which is one of her favourites things to do.
When she returned, Chef had created a super homemade birthday cake that she shared with everyone as we sang Happy Birthday to her, she had the biggest smile on her face!
St Patrick's Day with Emily
Our St Patrick's Day celebrations started with a good old sing song with entertainer Emily Yarrow in full swing!
Emily's reputoire included many classics, and some fun Irish songs we could all sing along too. Residents; Jean and Rosemary had a delightful time, getting to know one another, singing and hand-jiving throughout.

It may be a little chilly but our residents love a day trip whatever the weather!
Taking time to mooched around, have a homemade packed lunch and lovely slice of cake from the café at Root One garden centre in Wallingford made their day.
