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

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.

The Queen of our home Alice, is 105 years young today and enjoyed the start to her day with her usual tropical fruit platter (that must be the secret of staying young!).His Majesty King Charles, wished Alice a Happy celebration day too, by sending a card from Buckingham Palace so she can enjoy looking through her cards with us. Alice's favourite cake is an Egg custard tart to go with her other birthday cakes which she shared and celebrated with all of her friends, family, residents and staff - Alice also had her favourite Bailey's and coffee!

So Egg-citing.... Our Easter Cake Extravaganza!We had an amazing abundance of incredibly creative Easter cakes. Decorated with flair and expertise, our judges Tony & Judy Lawrence, the Ambassadors and long term supporters from Acorns Children's Hospice, found it very hard to choose which cake to select as a winner - so instead they chose three!Acorns Children's Hospice provides passionate care to children and families needing support and respite for long term illnesses. Their specialist nurses are funded by this dedicated charity and we are proud to choose this charity in 2025 for our fundraising activities.The cakes were awesome and delicious and we were please to sell on these cakes for a donation to this charity - Tony and Judy couldn't resist taking one for themselves too!

Hop to it!

Hop to it! Our Easter Bunny Hunt was such a lovely day with families and residents enjoying the warm weather and the smell of chocolate eggs to win! Children of all ages came to our home today and loved running around looking for the Easter bunny tokens hidden in eggs around our gardens. Our residents were delighted to chat to the little ones and see them hunting high and low for these little treasures!We hope to see you soon at another of our events this summer, and in the meantime, we wish you a lovely Easter - and lots more chocolate eggs!

Anyone for Tea ? Golf Tea that is!

Anyone for Tea ? Golf Tea that is! Daily life for our residents is not just in our home, but out of our home! Trips out are a daily feature of life for residents, and this week was no exception. We went to Mulligans in Worcester for an afternoon of mini golf - with the added competitive spirit we expect from our previous residents, Pam, Susan and Maureen and our staff, Kirsty, Karon and Steven. The friendly mini tournament was won by our pair, Steven and Susan. We were treated like royalty by the absolutely fantastic staff at Mulligans, who made sure our residents had the perfect day! From making a special area just for us and the service they gave, made our residents day out even more special! Thank you so very much!
