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.

Celebrating our Community Nurses

We are very lucky to have such a wonderful Primary Care Network team in Malvern.

Today, Linda an Advanced Clinical Practitioner, from the Malvern Primary Care Network team, came to our home to register one of our new residents and meet our caring team.

Pictured here is Sarah our General Manager, giving Linda freshly baked chocolate chip cookies (by our Chef), to take back for her nursing team.  See you soon Linda!

Always a Warm Welcome!

Welcoming another new resident today.

We know that moving into a new home can be an unsettling experience for residents.

One of our heartfelt gestures that makes our residents feel so warmly welcomed, are our team at Elgar court and, the thoughtful treats waiting for them when they arrive.  Whether it’s fresh flowers, a newspaper or for example edible delights,  we personalise each welcome gift to our new resident.
