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.

Raising funds for Alzheimer's

Staff and residents at Mulberry Court in York have taken part in a memory walk to raise money for Alzheimer’s Awareness Month, which runs throughout September.

Staff, family and volunteers came together to push their residents in wheelchairs through their local community as the whole neighbourhood came together. A local neighbour Cheryl Greenfield-Bell opened up her beautiful private gardens to the residents where they found an enchanted fairy forest hidden away. With tea and coffee and gorgeous cakes supplied by both Mulberry Court and their local community it gave everyone the chance to get together and reminisce

Music through the ages

Our homes had a brilliant time with curator Sarah Deters as she took us on a virtual ‘Music Through the Ages’ tour of St Cecilia’s Hall: Concert Room and Music Museum.

Our residents were thrilled to discover weird and wonderful musical instruments, hear their unusual sounds, and find out how instruments have changed over the last 500 years.

The virtual live event explored the world-renown collection of musical instruments on display at St Cecilia’s Hall, Scotland’s oldest concert hall.

National Cat Day

National Cat Day brought many smiles from our residents as one of our Senior Carers brought her much loved cat ‘Jasper’ in for a visit. Jasper did a tour of the building visiting residents in their room for a little fuss, everyone loves Jasper!

Owl Awareness Day

It was Owl Awareness Day at Mulberry Court and what fun our residents had in our arts and crafts sessions making hanging owls from paper plates. Afterwards we watched a fascinating documentary on these beautiful creatures.

Home recognise long service

A chef at Mulberry Court Care Home in York has received a prestigious 10 Year Service Award in celebration of working at Barchester Healthcare for 10 years.

Kath Speed, now third chef, started at Barchester in August 2012 and has worked with residents and their relatives to ensure that their needs have been met over the years.

Flower power

This session is always the most popular as flowers always cheer us up! We chose burnt oranges, yellows and reds to create some stunning posies of flowers.
