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.

Home celebrate 20-years service

A surprise celebration this week for our Senior Carer Angela Horrocks.  For the last 20 years Angela has worked tirelessly with dedication and incredible compassion for all her residents.  A true team member with a heart of gold, Angela is loved by all her residents who came along and kept the surprise going and joined in thanking her with all her colleagues for all her hard work.

Residents enjoy a virtual reading and writing event

We had a great time joining journalist and novelist, Mike Gayle, for an intriguing virtual interview, during which he shared top tips for creative writing with our residents and read passages from his latest book, All the Lonely People.

We were thrilled to find out about Mike’s background, to understand what led him to become a writer and his creative process.

It was a lovely talk, enjoyed by all, especially by our keen writers at the home.

World's Biggest Coffee Morning

In recognition of Macmillan’s Coffee Morning, we hosted our very own garden event for friends, families and community members to raise £250 for the charity.

The garden was specially decorated for the occasion, our talented chef prepared a variety of cakes, cupcakes and delicious treats following Macmillan Cancer Support’s recipes and we all got involved in fun-filled games.

We all had a wonderful day raising funds for this lovely cause.

Residents enjoy a Virtual Cruise Experience

We had a lovely time joining Paul Hawkins and Lisa Richards from Unilever for an exciting Virtual Cruise experience.

Our residents were welcomed with mocktails as Lisa and Paul took them on a magical journey to 3 mystery destinations, which were uncovered after a few clues.

Paul demonstrated how to create a few of the local traditional dishes, which our residents had the opportunity to try too.

The event evoked lots of great memories and it was truly enjoyed by all.

Virtual event with Unity Wines

We had a lovely time joining Hospitality Manager, Christophe Noel and special guests Lee Isaacs DipWSET and Nick Parker from Unity Wines and Spirits – as they introduced us to wine tasting techniques, the history of wine and wine making, as well as consumer attitudes.

Our residents had the opportunity to try a variety of wines from sparkling and white to rose and red, alongside a selection of delicious treats. 

It was a wonderful experience, enjoyed by all.

Housekeeping Week

Residents and staff at Mulberry Court celebrated International Housekeeping Day with a goody bag for all our hardworking Housekeeping team.  Residents joined in with a visual quiz to guess the old appliances against the modern day equivalents with some very amusing stories of how different running a house was all those years ago.  To finish off the afternoon a showing of the 1965 classic ‘Mary Poppins’ the magical, mystical nanny/housekeeper loved by everyone.
