Life at Magnolia Court Care Home
We celebrated St Patrick’s Day in style.
We celebrated St Patrick’s Day in style recently, in recognition of the patron saint and national apostle of Ireland.
Our beautiful home was decorated with shamrocks and everyone enjoyed exploring the Irish culture through a variety of themed activities.
Residents and their loved ones marked the day by making shamrock decorations, learning some Irish words and phrases, enjoying Irish dances and of course listening to Irish music from an Irishman, Michael O'Hare.
The talented chef Ya prepared fantastic spreads of traditional Irish dishes for all to enjoy, all washed down with Guinness or Irish whiskey.
It was a brilliant day, enjoyed by all.

Spending time together on Valentine day.
Love is in the Air
What a beautiful day we had yesterday. Rooms were filled with fresh flowers, cards, balloons and decorations as residents, friends and family celebrated the day of love in style.
Throughout the day, everyone got involved in fun-filled activities, including wellness and reminiscence sessions, music therapy and many more. Some residents gifted their loved ones a red rose which brought such joy to the recipient.
Michael O'Hare delivered an amazing Valentine’s Day performance for all to enjoy. Residents sang the famous love hits: ‘Love Is in the Air’ and ‘All You Need Is Love’.
It was a lovely day and so heart walming to see everyone enjoying the day and spending time with the people they love.
Getting Out & About.
Getting Out & About In Our Community.
There is nothing quite like walking in nature and having a hot drink with good friends. We are lucky to have a beautiful park nearby and we always make a friend when we visit - whether that's people or their lovely pets.
Resident Judy, our mother hen, loves getting out and about, buying things from the café for herself.
Judy was chuffed with the coffee and ice cream, and said "It's been great to get some fresh air, I love to go out walking and always enjoy coming to a café afterwards and watch the world go by".
We could not agree more Judy!
Bunny Pet therapy at Magnolia Court
A Pawsome Afternoon!
Residents at Magnolia Court had a fantastic time meeting the 5 adorable bundle of Bunny's.
This amazing experience was delivered by Performing Pets who visit us every month with healthy and happy animals for pet therapy and to spend time with residents.
At just 4 months old it was wonderful to see the rabbits so happy and at home in the laps of residents and they brought a smile to everyone’s face.
The bunny's started off his visiting in the reception cafe then headed off to the lounges before going around the home to do room visits.
It was clear for all to see that they brought a great deal of happiness, joy and emotion to all residents and staff at the home
