Activities at Elgar Court Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.
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
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.
Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies

World Poetry Day
Our residents had a great afternoon discussing their favourite poems and what they love about them. It was such a privilege to host Arabella in our home and she said, "Poetry is always around us in everything we do..”
It was a wonderful treat for us to immerse ourselves in the rich, evocative language of poetry – we have all found it so rewarding and fun! Arabella Quink has written several books under this pseudonym, and is known by day as Elaine Tomlinson! Books she has written include “Life Happens” and is all about life’s ups and downs. Arabella will be back soon, so if anyone would like to join us, please contact us: 01684 211720
