Life at Magnolia Court Care Home

Ballet performance wows residents

Residents and staff at Magnolia Court were excited to welcome the London Children's Ballet Children's Ballet to perform their rendition of The Secret Garden. The children, aged 9 to 15 years old, wore stunning costumes and delighted our residents as they brought the magic, charm and beauty of the garden to life as they danced to enchanting orchestral music.

Valentine's Party

Love was in the air when Magnolia Court hosted a Valentine's Party for our residents and their loved ones. With live music, dancing and fresh cake, everyone had a great time.

Critters and creepy crawlies thrill residents

Robbie from Wild Science visited Magnolia Court bringing with him a plethora of wild creatures. Residents were amazed to see and even handle some of the animals including snakes, a tarantula, guinea pigs, a scorpion, a gecko and giant Madagascan snails! Everyone loved the feeling of the snake and being up close and personal with such exotic animals.

Chinese new year arts and crafts fun

Goia from Healthy Generations joined us at Magnolia Court once again to help residents make their own Chinese lanterns in preparation for the Chinese New Year. The Chinese tradition is meant to reflect hope for the coming year such as prosperity, good luck and wealth.

Therapy dog Teddy brings joy to residents

Pet therapy dog Teddy brought smiles to residents on one of his regular visits with his owner Lisa. Everyone loved to stroke the friendly and incredibly charming Coton de Tulear and hold him on their laps. Our regular animal visits are an important part of life at Magnolia Court, especially for those residents who may be missing their pets.

Art and craft fun at Magnolia Court

Residents had fun creating butterflies to represent the new year and new beginnings. We had a singalong and the residents were very proud of their creations. Goya (session leader) also created a butterfly song and played his unique traditional Brazilian instrument.
