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!

Cocktail O'clock!

Cheers to a lovely afternoon at Magnolia Court! We had a brilliant time at our resident cocktail event, enjoying delicious mimosas, mojitos, and mocktails. A big thank you to Lost Chord for providing the perfect soundtrack. Great company and great music – the perfect combination!

Peggy Turns 99!

We recently celebrated a milestone birthday when our beautiful Peggy turned 99 years young! Peggy was overjoyed with the her birthday party and it was such a pleasure to celebrate her birthday with her. We received a huge amount of cards from our other Barchester homes and Peggy had a lovely time celebrated with her friends and family who came to visit all the way from America for the special occasion. We all wanted to make today as special as it could be for Peggy.

An Afternoon of Pawfection

What a wonderful afternoon we had yesterday when Performing Pets visited us with 3 adorable 8 week old kittens. We were also delighted when Xena brought her lovely Granddaughter to join us on the visit. Residents were engaged from start to finish and could not decide who to give the attention to, the sweet little girl or the kittens!Our hearts were truly stolen and there was smiles all around. Thank you for bringing so much joy to our lovely 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.
