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.

Activities Leader

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.

Happy birthday Michael - A feast fit for a King!

Michael's family travelled from far and wide to celebrate his birthday with him this weekend at Elgar Court. Michael is a man who has travelled extensively all his life, and his family worked with our Chef to theme his birthday feast of 'Food from around the World'. However, just look at that magnificent cake his family made just for him - we were certainly impressed! A resident's Birthday, family gatherings and social events are very important to us at Elgar Court, and an opportunity to gather with their loved ones, share stories, and make more memories.
At Elgar Court, we will do all we can to ensure our residents live life well with us and have special moments like this.
Happy birthday Michael!

Our Explorers are off again!

Residents are always keen to go out on country drives and find news places to visit - and cake to enjoy! This week, a new hotspot was found in The Cafe, at Barton Court in Colwall. This treasure of a cafe is set in beautiful countryside surroundings, and as you can see the group is thoroughly enjoying a relaxing morning with friends.

Messing about by the River!

This week we decided to have a trip to Tewkesbury and enjoy the wonderful views of the River Severn over tea and cake. But by popular consensus, it was ice creams and squash all the way because of the splendid weather! It was a chance to catch up, chat about life and enjoy the scenery and more importantly, get to know our new guests more. Respite breaks are an ideal ways to take a mini holiday from day to day life or to recuperate after an illness - and quite often, guests decide to stay after sampling life at Elgar Court and the services and lifestyle we offer.

Discombobulated - Not Us!

At Elgar Court, trips out, Social and physical activities are not just our only weekly activities, but togetherness opportunities to spend time with each other in our home - especially when it's too hot to go out and air conditioning in our Cafe was the order of the day!  Discombobulated is an informal adjective meaning confused or disordered and our residents had to come up with as many words as possible using the letters in this word. There was certainly no confusion or disorder amongst residents as they had made well over 150 words! Management and staff were truly stumped at the combinations and we were truly out performed by these mighty geniuses!   
How many words can you make?

Delicious Daytime Dining

At Elgar Court, we always like to ensure daily life in our home is always something residents look forward to each day. Our life enrichment doesn't just stop at daily outings and in house entertainment for residents, but our chefs work hard to find new ways to make each meal time a daily event to look forward to. And as you can see from one of our tea time buffets, and cafe treats, there is a reason why choose our home to live in.

Enjoying the sun and soaking up the atmosphere, the girls were thrilled to share their joy !
Helen said, "I don't normally like ice cream, but this is rather nice, especially on a hot day like this!"
