Activities at Magnolia 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 Coordinators work as a team by involving staff and relatives in the activities sessions. They implement and plan activities tailored to residents' likes, dislikes, beliefs and life stories. Lots of people choose to place loved ones in Magnolia Court because of our reputation for hosting great activities all year long!

Life at Magnolia Court Care Home
Tate Britain outing
Our residents enjoyed a culturally enriching trip to Tate Britain art gallery. Everyone enjoyed admiring the amazing pieces of art and shared a coffee together in the gallery cafe.
Oreo the goat warms hearts
Zena from Performing Pets brought Oreo, a beautiful baby goat, to visit our residents. Everyone enjoyed holding and stroking the kid and hoped he would be back very soon!
Passover celebrated at Magnolia Court
We were so happy to welcome representatives from Chabad who came to help our Jewish residents celebrate Passover. Together, we prepared a beautiful Seder plate and our residents joyfully participated in reading the story of the Exodus in Hebrew. It was a meaningful occasion for everyone.
Reginald surprises wife for her birthday
Our Activities Co-ordinator, Tammi, took our resident Reginald to a shopping centre to buy birthday gifts for his wife. Reginald chose all the gifts himself and his wife was delighted by the unexpected surprise!
Garden Centre visit
We enjoyed an outing to the local Sunshine Garden Centre. We bought some plants for the garden and had coffee and a sweet treat from the park cafe. Our residents loved seeing all the different flowers in bloom and helping to plan our new look garden.
Jewish group joins residents to celebrate Purim
The book of Esther was read in Hebrew (the Megillah) and we all ate special Purim pastries called Hamentashen (also known as Haman's ears!). The festival is a joyous occasion remembering the Biblical story of the downfall of Haman who had tried to destroy the Jewish people.
The Jewish traditions include fancy dress so our staff got into the swing of things by getting dressed up in all kinds of crazy costumes much to the delight of our residents
