Activities at Elgar Court Care Home
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.

Life at Elgar Court Care Home
Are you being served....
Our residents requests are very important to us, and we have now started our pre dinner drinks before Sunday lunch each week and when requested. This has proven to be very popular – cheers!
Millifiore Made Easy!
Millefiori masterclasses are planned over the next few weeks with residents (and the families and friends if they want to join in).
Millefiori in italian means a thousand flowers, and is a well known glass making technique composed rods of glass made in the same way as Blackpool rock! Please let us know if you would like to join in!
And here’s one Maria made earlier with Alice…. A Millefiori example made into a bowl.
Bracing Walk and Café Catch Up with Peter
It’s always good to get out and admire the scenery and the local landmarks – whatever the weather! Peter and Maria enjoyed a stroll around the grounds and local area to blow away the cobwebs and have that important one to one time.
Fun with clay
Fun with clay – or to be more technical, Polymer clay. Residents chose the colours and mixed the clays into swirling marble designs. We than used cutters to create earring drops ready to be made into pendants and earrings.
New Friends coffee morning
We like our trips out and about, and this week we visited our Barchester sister home in Worcester, Latimer Court. A spontaneous sing song by one of the resident’s, got everyone one joining in with the fun over drinks and homemade biscuits – divine! We look forward to welcoming you to our home in April. Plus the shortbread biscuits were divine.
Our care is only a heartbeat away!
Heartstart Malvern officially launched this week, their latest life saving device at Elgar Court Care home in a presentation with Christopher Walker from QinetiQ, Heartstart Malvern’s Patron Mrs Lucy Chenevix-Trench, Sarah Cadwallader at Elgar Court and Richard Vakis-Lowe, the Heartstart Founder. As a new care home, we are extremely keen to do what we can to be a key support to our local community, and know how important it is to have public access defibrillators available when needed. The defibrillator is situated at Elgar Court on the external wall by reception, where the AED code will always be accessible to the community.
