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
Creative writing
A creative resident at Mulberry Court has penned a poem to recognise one of the homes nurses. This week the home celebrated National Poetry day and whilst this year’s theme was ‘The Environment’, Resident, xXx wrote a heartfelt poem about nurse, Lizzy. World Poetry day encourages everyone to make, experience and share poetry and the words have been heartfelt by all who have read it in the home.
Other residents put pen to paper and General Manager, Rachael said “It’s been amazing listening to our residents share their stories and recollections of days gone by and we have been delighted to read their poems as part of National Poetry Day”.
Royal Botanic Garden
Our homes enjoyed a wonderful virtual tour of the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh with Community Engagement Manager, Charlotte Walker, and Botanic Cottage Operations Co-ordinator, Laura Gallagher.
The residents were thrilled to learn more about the history of the beautiful Garden, which is now a home to an impressive plant collection from around the world.
Charlotte and Laura also gave a demonstration of making fresh herbal tea and were happy to answer our questions. The virtual experience was truly enjoyed by all who joined.
Macmillan Coffee Morning
Mulberry Court held their annual MacMillan Coffee morning to raise money for this worthy cause. Staff and relatives donated cakes for the event and we had a very busy reception for a few hours. We raised over £200 for the charity.
Remembering the Queen
It has been a very emotional time for everyone as we all came together as a nation to pay our respects to her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Residents and staff came together and paid their respects at our Memorial table where a book of condolence was open to everyone.
Happy anniversary
Our husband and wife residents, Richard and Barbara have recently celebrated 47 years of a happy marriage! We surprised our lovely couple with a gorgeous cake baked and decorated by our Head Chef, Lee Starkey and presented them with a beautiful bouquet of flowers. Happy anniversary from us all!
Wallace Collection
Our homes had a fantastic time joining members of the Wallace Collection for an amazing sensory session.
During the live virtual experience, our residents explored one of the museum’s most beautiful Dutch flower paintings and learnt new drawing techniques.
We cannot wait to put our creative skills to a test and produce beautiful paintings of our own.
Everyone enjoyed the lovely talk, we all had lots of fun and it’s given us plenty of ideas.
