Activities at Bay Court
Activities & Lifestyle
At our Bay Court, we believe every day should bring enjoyment, companionship, and meaningful experiences. Our activities programme is led by Annemarie, our dedicated Activities Supervisor, with the support of Kate and Trish. Weekly activity timetables are carefully planned and circulated to residents, ensuring there is always something engaging to look forward to.
We provide a wide variety of activities and entertainment designed to suit individual interests and encourage participation at every level. Residents are always invited to join in as much or as little as they wish, whether in one-to-one sessions, small groups, or larger social gatherings. Our aim is not only to entertain, but also to inspire conversation, stimulate memories, and create moments of joy shared by all.
We are delighted to welcome many wonderful visitors throughout the year, including seasonal services from The Baptist Church, St Peters Church, The Catholic church in Exmouth as well as communion. We have many other visitors fitness instructors, musicians, singers, and community groups such as Budleigh Ladies Choir and The Good Afternoon Choir. We also enjoy regular visits from Claire the pianist, Harlequin Stummers, Exmouth Museum, Fairlynch Museum, the RNLI, RSPCA and many more!
Animal visits are always a favourite and bring enormous happiness to residents. Visitors have included butterflies, lambs, chicks, llamas, cats, and many other friendly animals, alongside our much-loved resident dog, Barney the Cockapoo.
Trips and outings are tailored to residents’ wishes and interests. Popular outings include coffee mornings and ice creams along the seafront, shopping trips into Exmouth, lunches out, evening meals at local restaurants, and regular strolls by the sea. Visits to Budleigh’s wonderful charity shops are especially enjoyed by many residents.
Our beautiful garden is a much-loved part of daily life. Residents enjoy spending time outdoors with visiting family and friends, often gathering for afternoon tea in the sunshine. We are proud of our vegetable patch and look forward each year to harvesting fresh, organic produce. Recent favourites have included homemade apple crumble using apples from our garden and chutney made with homegrown tomatoes.
We look forward to hosting our much-anticipated garden party each summer. Musical and interactive sessions regularly fill the home with laughter, while quizzes, games, and themed activities ensure every day offers something special.
Creative activities remain an important part of life within the home. Residents have produced colourful crafts that brighten rooms throughout the year, including dream catchers, gemstone mobiles, floral decorations, paintings, collages, knitting, sewing, and handmade seasonal displays.
Maintaining strong connections with the local community is incredibly important to us. We are fortunately positioned a level walk into Budleigh Salterton and therefore enjoy many visitors into our home. Trips into town for the churches, library, coffee shops, personal shopping, or simply enjoying the beach help residents remain actively involved in life around Budleigh. We also value intergenerational activities and look forward to continuing regular visits from pupils at St Peter’s School.
Our lounges are welcoming social spaces where residents can relax together, enjoy conversation, and share meals in good company. Whether it’s a morning coffee, lunch after a sherry and chat, or an afternoon filled with music and laughter, our goal is always the same — to help residents live life to the fullest, with comfort, friendship, and plenty to look forward to each day.
