Activities at Mulberry Court Care Home
The team at Mulberry Court works hard to support and encourage residents to participate in both group and individual activities, based around their preferences and lifestyle choices. We take time to get to know each person, sitting with them and listening to them speak about their lives, interests, and aspirations. We have access to our own minibus so outings to nearby places of interest are available; for example local museums, art galleries, garden centres, and public houses. We also host themed evenings, such as 'Quiz and Meal-in-a-Basket', 'The Races (Greyhounds, Horses)', and 'Takeaway and Movie Night' that we also encourage relatives to come to. We believe lifestyle choices and activities are one of the most important aspects of a care home, and it is essential that we help residents to have fulfilling and enjoyable lives.

Life at Mulberry Court Care Home
Mosaic Crafts
Residents enjoyed an afternoon creating mosaic tiles and picture frames with a multi-coloured selection of glass tiles. The results were very impressive, a great afternoon.
Starlings virtual talk
Across our services our residents have enjoyed a wonderful live virtual talk about starlings, one of the UK’s most gregarious birds, hosted by Rachel Dowse from The Royal Parks London.
Rachel examined our long history with this bird and the importance of common species to our lives. Our residents had the opportunity to find out more about the great murmuration and why we need to pay special attention to these beauties before it's too late.
The virtual experience was truly enjoyed by all.

Long service celebrated
A carer at Mulberry Court in York has received a prestigious 10 Year Service Award in celebration of working at Barchester Healthcare for 10 years and has retired. Bless Palmer started at Barchester in January 2013 and has worked with residents and their relatives to ensure that their needs have been met over the years.
Rachael Moss, General Manager of Mulberry Court said: “We’re delighted to be celebrating 10 years of loyal service with Bless, she has demonstrated her dedication and loyalty to this home and its residents year after year. I speak for all of us here at Mulberry Court when I say that we will miss Bless enormously now she has retired, it’s a celebration but a sad day too as we say farewell.
Rock & Roll
Mulberry Court enjoyed an afternoon of live music from ‘The Ides of March’ who came in to get everyone foot tapping and hand clapping to some 60’s and 70’s music.
Christmas Centrepiece Making
Residents had a prickly time with some hand-picked holly from our gardens but it was all worthwhile when we created some gorgeous centre pieces for Christmas day.
