Activities at Elgar Court Care Home

Pitter patter of pumpkins!

Just like our home is growing, and so are our pumpkins ready for Halloween!

These little beauties were planted from a seed in the summer by our residents, and we now have some little budding pumpkins flourishing - we just hope the shelves will take the weight!

We are so pleased to receive this FIVE STAR review from our resident's family on Carehome.co.uk. 

"What a wonderful caring place. My mum in law was adamant that she would not go into a care home. At 98 the family decided the time had come and we brought her on a 5 hour trip to Elgar Court.

She had a terrible journey and we arrived after 19.30, but all the staff were absolutely wonderful, she was looked after very well. The 'care for her started as she came through the doors'. A staff member had stayed on to do an assessment, the caring staff took on her care, we were all offered a great meal, and we left her well fed and comfortable in bed.

After 8 days at Elgar Court, she says it a marvellous place, and indeed it is, costly but certainly value for money.

Great care and life enrichment. Thank you every one of you"

We were excited to meet residents from another Barchester home this week, and welcomed them to our coffee morning at Elgar Court.  Over tea, coffee, cakes and chatter, new friendships were formed and life is never dull at our home.  We will always continue to look at different ways to entertain and enrich the lives of our residents at Barchester.  Thank you for coming to see us and we look forward to visiting you in your home!

One of our amazing residents has a hidden talent……Freddy raised over £500 making these wonderful Gonks for charity last year and we are hoping to raise money for Alzheimer's and Macmillan Cancer Support this month. The work both these charities do is phenomenal, both supporting people with these illnesses and finding ways to improve lives.

So we are fundraising for Alzheimer's and Macmillan Cancer Support, and we would love you to join us at our Macmillan Coffee morning on 29th September to buy one of these magical creations. All proceeds will be split between Macmillan Nurses and The Alzheimers Society.

This week our residents enjoyed a musical morning with Emily, a singer providing songs to continue uplifting our residents.  Everyone enjoyed Emily’s mini concert and look forward to Emily and her team joining us over the next few months.

We have now been open for six weeks and our Elgar Court family is growing.  To celebrate what’s been going on in this time, our Newsletter for July-August is now available for you all to look at and download via our website – Elgar Court Care Home in Malvern| Barchester Healthcare.  The next issue will be available at the end of October and if you would like to sign up and receive a copy, please contact us.
