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

Musical moments

Maggie Baker came along to give our residents a pure treat, putting the fun back into exercise.  Musical entertainment from singing to playing an array of musical instruments, Maggie inspired everyone with her infectious enthusiasm and amazing talent to stretch, clap, sing and foot tap the morning away.  A very clever way to give our residents a real workout without realising it!

World Opera Day

A sophisticated afternoon watching concerts from around the world with some of the most talented opera singers past and present.  Cheese and Wine to create the perfect atmosphere along with some who’s who quizzes and word-searches everyone had a lovely time.

Halloween

Residents decorated pre-carved pumpkins with Autumnal flowers for Halloween.  A more light hearted and not so scary activity for Halloween with gorgeous results!  The display was amazing and created much delight in our reception area for everyone to enjoy.

Residents enjoy a Halloween virtual cooking demo

Residents had a lovely time joining Chef Alex Connell from Vegetarian for Life for a Halloween-inspired virtual cooking demo.

Alex demonstrated how to prepare a few themed dishes, such as root vegetable tagine, roasted butternut squash mac-n-cheese, chocolate pots with piped biscuits and flapjacks.

Our residents were delighted to be a part of this lovely virtual culinary session by tasting the vegetarian dishes from the comfort of our home.

Watercolour masterclass

Another lovely afternoon for residents at Mulberry Court as we sketched and then finished with watercolour painting, a little 1950’s background music set the perfect atmosphere for producing masterpieces.
