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.

The Year of the Tiger

Residents enjoyed an afternoon of Chinese lantern making to celebrate The Year of the Tiger. Notes of love, laughter friendship and health to name but a few were written in Chinese letters and exchanged between our residents in a lovely show of love and care between residents at Mulberry Court.

RSPB Bird Watch

Residents showed their superior knowledge of birds to the staff at Mulberry Court during our Big Bird Watch afternoon inspired by the RSPB. We had a pretty tricky bird quiz but it proved no problem to some of our bird experts in the group! We filled up our new bird feeders with an array of different bird treats in the hope of encouraging some new feathered friends in our beautiful gardens.

Burns night supper

Residents enjoyed a traditional Burns lunch with Haggies, tatties and neeps brought in with the sound of bagpipes and the ‘Address to a Haggis’ recited by our Scottish carer Linda. A great afternoon of history of the late Robbie Burns and a showing of The Edinburgh Tattoo finished off a lovely afternoon all washed down with a tot of whiskey and shortbread.

Watercolour painting

Residents enjoyed an afternoon drawing and painting. With a very wet drizzly day outside it was a lovely way to brighten up a cold grey January afternoon with some lovely results.

Flower power

Residents at Mulberry Court Care Home in York celebrated International Flower Day which took place on 19th January.

International Flower Day promotes the psychological boost that flowers can give to people. From growing and nurturing plants and flowers, to gifting flowers to show love and appreciation, and sometimes just the simple act of admiring their beauty – flowers have the power to make someone’s day.

Residents took part in flower-based activities throughout the day including ‘Name the flower quiz’, reminiscing about their gardens and discussions about the bulbs they have planted in our home’s garden due to flower in spring along with a virtual tour of some famous flower gardens which everyone really enjoyed. Their collective knowledge about flowers gained from years of gardening experience was very impressive.

'Blooming' wonderful afternoon

Residents are keen to re-start their popular flower arranging club after the exhausting Christmas festivities. Everyone created lovely arrangements to enjoy back in their rooms and talked about their favourite flowers and why, it was a ‘blooming’ afternoon.
