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

International Nurses Day

Residents and staff had the opportunity to thank all nurses everywhere on International nurses day.  Residents watched a fascinating documentary on the history of the most famous nurse Florence Nightingale and all our nurses received a little thank you gift to pamper themselves with at home.

Crystal Palace Chronicles

We had a lovely time joining Graham Whitlock for an exciting virtual event to discuss his book ‘The Crystal Palace Chronicles: Star of Nimrod’.

Our residents were thrilled to find out more about the book and the fictional character Joe, who went on a rollercoaster adventure travelling back in time to the heyday of Victorian Crystal Palace.

Everyone had lots of fun during the virtual talk, as Graham took them on a clever and hilarious adventure. A great time was had by all.

Conversations by the Pond

We had a lovely time joining Henry Slator for an exciting virtual event to discuss his book ‘Conversations at the Pond’.

Henry had an unusual writing journey, which many of our residents found inspiring, he underwent chemotherapy in early 2020, which allowed him to rediscover his light-hearted outlook on life by imagining conversations with creatures in and around his large garden pond and adding buckets of fun.

The entertaining Conversations at the Pond, with its mass of colourful illustrations, took our residents along his journey, they felt inspired, cheered and loved hearing all about Henry’s experiences.

Double celebrations

Residents enjoyed a lovely garden party to celebrate not only Queen Elizabeth’s 96th Birthday but also National Tea Day!  Our Head Chef Lee Starkey baked scones and cup-cakes for the occasion which went down a treat with our residents on a beautiful sunny afternoon in the gardens at Mulberry Court.  We hope the Queen enjoyed her birthday as much as we did!

Easter card making

Residents had great fun making personalised Easter cards to send to their loved ones.  Some of the residents made a few extra to send to staff members to show their appreciation and wish them a Happy Easter too.

Easter flower arranging

Our lounge in full Easter bloom!  Residents created some gorgeous Easter arrangements to take back and brighten their rooms.
