Activities at Elgar Court Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.
Our activities team are great at building the activities programme around the likes and interests of the people we care for. Ensuring that our social events offer fun and adventure is part of the ethos of our home; it’s important that those we support can enjoy an active and social lifestyle. Of course, there will always be those who prefer peace and quiet, and in these instances, a cup of tea and a chat are always welcomed.
Kerrie Perks
Hello, My name is Kerrie and I provide the unique life enrichment for residents at Elgar Court. I moved to Malvern 12 years ago to live with my fiance and we have two tortoises and a snake. I love to play Dungeons and Dragons with my friends. I am very 'outdoorsy' and used to ride horses and compete nationally in athletics, specialising in track and field for Redditch and Bromsgrove athletics club. In my spare time, I love being in the kitchen and making treats for my family.
Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies
Life at Elgar Court Care Home
Living La Dolce Vita!
Living the good life is all we wish for our residents, and as we celebrated National Pizza Day this week thought we would make our own delicious creations. Chris, our Head Chef was on hand to show residents how to stretch the pizza dough and give a few tips, and generally have a laugh with the residents. At Elgar Court we are passionate about residents being able to continue enjoying lifelong hobbies, as well as exploring new adventures whilst living at our home.
Afternoon Tea (with a bit on the side!)
Birthday Beats!
The Great British Yorkshire Pud!
Resident Ambassador Maureen showed us all how she made her Yorkshire puds, and aren’t they absolutely glorious ! Maureen said she used to love having honey on hers and remembered when her mum used to make them.
Others liked golden syrup or treacle and Peter says he loves having fruit, jam and cream with his! And the newbies who had never tried Yorkshire pudding for dessert before, want to try it with jam and cream. Delicious!
Endless Fun & Enjoyment!
Happy Chinese Lunar Year - "Gong hei fat choy"
