Life at Weavers Court can be busy and engaging – sometimes, there’s something fabulous to get involved in all day long. It’s unsurprising that some of our residents have fallen in love with our new In-Room Dining Experience. This may sound like a very grand way to dine, but it simply means that our residents can opt to eat their meals in their room.

Our food is so good, it has to be enjoyed in peace and quiet from time to time!

Delightful Room Service

Room Service is something that we are delighted to offer our residents and – as a newly opened care home – we’re able to work with our residents and find out what they would like us to do for them.

As a purpose-built luxury care home within easy reach of Leeds, our dedication to providing healthy and nutritious food that delights and sustains our residents is one of our core drivers. We know how much our residents love and look forward to dining with us. While we can put part of that down to our beautiful dining room, we know that it is the care and attention lavished on our menus from our head chef, Lewis, and his team that really makes a difference.

Dining Experience

Lewis develops his menus to bring together the basics of nutrition, making sure that all needs are catered for and that our residents can count on a balanced diet. However, Lewis and his team ensure that they include many different tastes to please many different people, but they will always add those finishing touches that make every meal so special. Nothing is too much trouble at Weavers Court and that is certainly true of our catering team.

While our friendly and warm dining room is always on offer, those who wish to take up room service will have their meals brought up to them. When delivering room service meals, our staff will always take a moment to check in with our residents and to have a quick chat and let them know what’s on the menu.

With no attention to detail spared, our residents can enjoy first class meals as standard, with one recent meal especially well received. Lewis’s chicken and leek pie was flavoursome and cooked to perfection, enrobed in a light crust pastry that melts in the mouth. With soft mashed potato and two vegetables – pea and parsnips – Lewis complimented the dish with gravy. Not one to go without a dash of garnish, Lewis’s sliced orange baked in garlic and honey truly transformed what might be pie and mash dish elsewhere to a fine dining experience at Weaver’s Court.

With our Leeds care home, Weavers Court, now open, residents are steadily joining us with ten lovely people already living with us and two set to join our home community after Christmas.  Weavers Court, Adore Care’s brand-new purpose-built luxury care home in the village of Rawdon, is set to be filled with joy and laughter this festive season, with a long list of activities already in full swing.

Elf and Happiness

Our residents are making the most of the Christmas season and have – along with staff, friends and family – already enjoyed their first charity day. Elf Day allowed us all to become more “elf-aware” and we raised £50 for Alzheimer’s charities. There were plenty of laughs on our Elf Day but, as ever, our team made sure that elf and safety was paramount!

The team was thrilled to welcome our first resident in mid-November, with Maureen’s arrival. Brenda also joined us on the same day and both residents were able to dive into our activities programme, with Autumn Spice Cake Baking top of the list.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year

With more residents joining us in December, we have also been able to launch our December activities, which wrap up the best of the Christmas season. A wonderful tradition that we have been delighted to introduce to Weavers Court is our Christingle making session, where our residents transformed oranges into beacons of light, with tantalising sweeties added. We then lit these to mark the period between Advent and Candlemas and it set the scene for some fabulous festive activities.

We know how to have fun at Weaver Court and we certainly did on the day of our Mulled Wine Masterclass. Getting the balance of sweet, spice and sharp just right is a skill in itself and our residents were able to play around with their flavours until they got their mix just right. One of our residents David, was formerly a wine and spirits manager so was in his element dispensing advice! Our warm mulled wine certainly warmed all of our cockles.

We complemented our mulled wine making with our mince pie baking session. This is a fabulous way to make sure that our residents can continue with their own traditions, with some of our residents having made mince pies for many decades at home. While we may have made a healthy stack of rich and buttery pastry pies,  bursting with tasty and flavoursome mincemeat, our pies didn’t last long and were gone all too soon! Extras being baked as we write!

Crafty!

While Christmas is a time for eating lots of goodies, we also really love to get involved in arts and crafts. To help us make the most of this time of year, we launched our Christmas Craft Club. This allows our residents to get busy making garlands and decorations to bring colour and life to Weavers Court. If you pop in to visit us, you may well see the handicrafts of our Christmas Craft Club all over our home.

Our residents have also perfected the art of making Christmas wreaths, using festive greenery to bring the outdoors in. The room was filled with the scent of pine and our wreaths were finished and hung.

Our facilities at Weavers Court are second to none and this was certainly the case when we help our first Weavers Court Pub Quiz in our Sky Bar. It was an evening of fun and laughter – and a little bit of competition – as our residents answered some very tricky questions to find out who our first quiz champion would be. We’ll be running many more quizzes in the new year, so there will be plenty of challengers for our winner.

It is a wonderful facility and I am impressed by the attention to detail and quality of accommodation that it is on offer.”
