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.

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.

Keeping well and safe!

Keeping well and safe! Dr Radley and Mr Chauman from the Malvern Primary Care team, joined us this week to deliver Covid and flu jabs to ensure residents and staff have the best possible chance against infection this winter – and residents can all continue enjoying life in our home. And of course, we gave Dr Radley and Mr Chauman a nice big piece of cake each as thanks from Elgar Court.
