Activities at Elgar Court Care Home

Our local emergency services are our Heros and Heroines going the extra mile for our communities.  This week we gave out boxes of ‘Heros’ to say thank you for all your help and support in 2023, and we look forward to seeing you visit our home in 2024!  Pictured here are Malvern Police, Izzy from Malvern’s Primary Care team (they co-ordinate and look after all care home residents in Malvern and surrounding communities) and Malvern Community Hospital.  Heros were also given out to our hardworking Community District nursing teams.

Our amazing residents have been baking and decorating up a storm in the last few weeks, and producing the most spectacular Christmas cakes for our local Malvern and Upton Upon Severn Foodbanks.  We hope the lucky recipients enjoy their Christmas cakes made with care and love by our residents !  Picture here is the Malvern Spring Lane and Lyttlelton Well Food bank (with our Resident ambassador Maureen) and Upton Upon Severn Food bank team and Santa himself!  We received a thank you note from Food Bank Chairman, Peter Buchanon and even made the local press!

Guess who came to our home and visited local children, our residents and staff?

Father Christmas came to our home this week to give out chocolate treats to little ones who had been good all year – and also our residents! Staff too were also rewarded as they have taken such great care of our wonderful residents.

Each month, there is the Admiral's Cafe in Colwall, where people are welcomed for a friendly catch up over tea and cake.   I was welcomed by Marcus, Mike and their team and Reverend Melanie Horton and we all enjoyed listening to Colwall Primary school singing and to a group of Handbell ringers  -  where we sang along to christmas carols!  The super volunteers put on a delicious spread of home made cakes and a raffle too.  Elgar Court will be taking along residents to the next events to meet new friends and enjoy being part of this community.  We look forward to seeing you in January.

This year Elgar Court Retirement home donated a number of fruit and vegetable mini hampers to the abundant raffle prizes – which pleased the large number of visitors supporting this event.   

Thank you so much to the hardworking Community Action Team who yet again, put on this amazing and very popular Christmas Fayre at the weekend.  See picture.

Jenny our guest resident (blue stripy jumper) and I volunteered our support at this incredible event, and Elgar Court looks forward to joining in with their activities they deliver in 2024. 

Make A Wish this Christmas – They are coming true for residents!  

At our home each resident is celebrated in their own right, and every day one of resident’s is made ‘Resident of the Day!’  We were very, very lucky this weekend when three wonderful ladies on their horses, granted Martha and Roger wishes.  Both had a love of horses and owned them in the past!  Apples were given out to the horses by Martha and Roger at this surprise visit, and the ladies have promised to drop by again!  Thank you so much to Lisa, Susi and Claire and their horses who gave their time to our residents!

Would you like your dreams come true?  If so, make a wish in our comments below and like our post and we will be in contact with the lucky winner in the new year!
