Activities at Elgar Court Care Home

Hello Hogan!

Hogan from Pets As Therapy came to see us again for a friendly stroll to see our residents in our Café and visiting residents in their suites.

Pets As Therapy (PAT) is a national charity that enhances the health and wellbeing of thousands of people in communities across the UK. They visit many care homes to give residents who enjoy being with animals, an opportunity to spend time with them. Our residents, were delighted to see Andrea and Hogan. Many of our residents had family dogs in the past, and this was a lovely opportunity for them to tell everyone about the pets they had owned.

Thank you to Andrea, and we look forward to seeing you soon.

Magic Musical Moments came to our home, with crooner Nick singing an amazing array toe tapping classics of old and new - Eidelweiss from the Sound of Music, to a bit of Motown’s ‘My Girl’! Nick went down a storm and we can’t wait to our next visit from Mini Concerts!

This weekend, will be the 25th annual Walk on the Malvern Hills for Cancer Research UK organised by the local Malvern committee of Cancer Research UK.

Elgar Court are proud to support our local community, so we baked a fruit cake to nourish the volunteers standing on the Malvern Hills who will be signposting fundraising walkers around the Malvern Hills. Good luck everyone and we hope you raise a lot of money for this worthwhile cause - and it stays sunny!

Pictured here receiving our fruitcake is Jeanne Harnden from the Malvern committee branch of Cancer Research UK. (You may also recognise Jeanne from last week’s social media post when she attended our fundraiser coffee morning for Macmillan Cancer Support and the Alzheimers Society).

More delicious cakes and celebrations this week! We are proud to launch our new digital care system ENABLE, to plan, record, and co-ordinate the care and life enrichment for our residents using smartphones and tablets. Not only will these handheld bespoke systems more efficient to support our teams to co-ordinate and deliver the highest quality individual care, these also capture the life enrichment our residents receive.

We raised a fantastic £150 at our fundraiser morning of cakes and drinks in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support & the Alzheimer’s Society. Thank you to residents, their families, friends and members of Malvern Cancer Group and Age UK who joined in with us to support these awesome charities.

A very special thanks to the following local companies who kindly donated prizes to our raffle - Thank you to Malvern Theatres for cinema tickets and Lonsdales Fresh Produce for the two enormous fresh fruit and veg boxes.
