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

Delight as Resident Participates

At Mulberry Court we provide care services for our residents needing support and the availability of qualified nurses 24 hours a day.

It is important to everyone at Mulberry Court to support residents to maintain as much independence as possible.

Care plans are designed in consultation with the resident and their family, recognising that each resident has their own individual needs and tailored personal requirements.

It’s such a delight when a care plan results in one of our residents sitting in a chair for the first time in ages and experiencing new frontiers, including participation in a group activity.

What a beautiful smile!

Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine’s Day. Our home was filled with flowers, cards, balloons and decorations as we celebrated the day of love in style with sweet treats and gifts.

We marked the day by making and sending cards to loved ones. Our residents had the opportunity to taste delicious themed sweet and savoury treats, prepared by our talented chef, whilst listening to all-time favourite love songs.

It was a lovely day and it was wonderful to see everyone go to so much effort to get involved with the day’s festivities.

Master Florist tutorial

Across our homes we had a fantastic time joining, Kathryn Delve, Master Florist, for a Valentine’s-inspired live virtual flower arranging demonstration. Kathryn shared brilliant and creative ways to decorate our tables with beautiful flowers that are sure to make your heart swoon!

Those participating in this virtual event put their skills to the test and followed along with some amazing creations of their own.  Residents truly enjoyed the experience.

Medical Detection Dogs

Across our services residents had a fantastic time during a special live virtual event, led by Emilia from Medical Detection Dogs.

Emilia took us on a journey to discover how the organisation began training dogs to support people with complex health conditions, saving their lives on a daily basis.

Using their amazing sense of smell, these dogs can identify odour changes emitted prior an episode and alert the person to take preventative action.

We were introduced to the wonderful dogs and the science behind the sniff.  It was a delightful experience for everyone, especially our canine-loving residents.

Musical Moments

everyone was so excited to welcome back Maggie from Musical Moments to entertain us with her range of musical based activities, including safe adapted exercises.

The sessions are tailored to suit both group and individual sessions, with the aim of providing fun for all residents at Mulberry Court, maintaining physical and mental well-being.

Holy Communion

We hold Holy Communion at Mulberry Court, fortnightly. The local Minister, who is authorised by the local church, provides teachings of beliefs and offers group and individual spiritual guidance, for residents, families and friends.

Recently we said a prayer to a well respected and loved resident who passed away peacefully, as well as singing our hearts out with passion and love, with a favourite hymn, ‘Praise my Soul, the King of Heaven’.
