Activities at Elgar Court Care Home

It’s been a busy week here at Elgar Court as General Manager, Paul and Home Services Advisor Naomi continued meeting members of our local community, building long-lasting relationships allowing those living with us to thrive by staying connected and involved.

Firstly, Naomi visited the Local Skills Improvement Plan (LSIPs) breakfast meeting in Malvern led by Director, Robert Elliott of the Herefordshire and Worcestershire Chamber of Trade. The meeting brought together local businesses and regional colleges to discuss and understand how employers like Barchester, can shape the job skills for provision in the future.

Elgar Court have even been invited along to speak about the opportunities for successful careers within health and social care at their next meeting.

It was then onto some festive networking at Malvern Library with the Business and IP Centre (BIPC) national network led by The British Library, providing free and accessible business advice, support, information and resources that help independent businesses on their journey. Naomi met a number of local businesses at the event including coaches offering support around end of life grief and bereavement.

Paul and Naomi then paid a visit to Malvern’s community nurses to drop off some Christmas goodies to thank them for all of their hard work over the festive period before heading over to hand deliver some Christmas cards to our wonderful neighbours.

This was a very exciting week for the Barchester New Builds team, as they visited site for a guided tour of Elgar Court.

Last week saw the introduction of Barchester’s ‘Fall Fighter’ campaign in association with RoSPA and Elgar Court Care Home are on a mission to fight falls within our local community!

Falls are the single biggest cause of accidental injuries in the home, and sadly the largest cause of accidental death among over-65s in the UK.  Falls have a huge impact on people’s lives – from physical injuries, poor mental health, loss of mobility, loneliness, social isolation and loss of independence. Unfortunately, falls also have a huge impact on our society, costing the NHS and wider healthcare systems over £4billion every year.

The Fall Fighter movement has been developed with the aim of creating a global fall fighting community and we want YOU to join us!

Home Services Advisor Naomi has been out and about in the local community today delivering the awareness session to Community Action Malvern and District’s Chief Officer Kate Walton and her team.    Kate said ‘Thank you Naomi - I’ve taken away some really useful tips that I can pass on to those that use our services’

The team at Elgar Court will be visiting local groups and organisations over the coming weeks to continue delivering the importance of this campaign and how we can all make a real difference.  Please contact us if you would like us to visit your organisation.
