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
Virtual trip to Iceland
We took a wonderful virtual trip to Iceland’s Puffin Rescue Centre at the Beluga Whale Sanctuary.
We were able to virtually meet some of the rescued Atlantic Puffins and to learn interesting facts about their care and unique lives. We took a peek into their lives in the wild, the Puffling rescue program in the Westman Islands, and how SEA LIFE Trust Beluga Whale Sanctuary’s team takes care of these charismatic little birds each day.
It was a very exciting experience, enjoyed by all.
WW2 virtual talk with Blenheim Palace
Ahead of Armed Forces Day, we were transported back in time for a World War II themed talk and tour of Blenheim Palace, hosted by Antonia Keaney, the Palace’s social historian and author.
Entitled ‘Evacuees and Espionage,’ Antonia’s wartime themed talk focused on how the Marlborough family, estate staff and the Palace itself played a full and energetic part in the war effort.
The talk and tour told the story of how the Palace prepared for the worst, survived the onslaught of 400 boys being evacuated to Blenheim and kept the secrets of MI5.
It was a lovely experience, enjoyed by all.
Birthday celebrations
Our resident Kathleen enjoyed a lovely birthday surprise when she was presented with a beautiful cake made especially for her 93rd Birthday by our Chef. Kathleen had a lovely day with a family visit and flowers and cards. Happy Birthday Kathleen and thank you to the kitchen for such a lovely cake.
Royal Ascot celebrations at Mulberry Court
Residents at Mulberry Court had a fantastic day when Ascot came to the home! Residents enjoyed fresh strawberries and cream, our homemade mocktail and indulgent cup-cakes! After a flutter on the horses and prizes for the winners everyone agreed it was a truly Royal Day! All the ladies looked gorgeous in their finery with hats and fascinators galore!
Residents enjoy a little pampering
Resident’s at Mulberry Court enjoyed a pamper day this week which proved extremely popular with everyone! After hand soaking and a relaxing hand massage with Aloe Vera oils and moisturising cream everyone agreed it was great success. Our ladies loved choosing from the many nail polish’s available to our Gents who just enjoyed being pampered with a good manicure and hand massage. Geoff here was very happy telling everyone afterwards how soft his hands felt.
Residents discover the history and treasures of Hereford Cathedral
Residents had a lovely afternoon joining the team from Hereford Cathedral as they were given a glimpse of the spectacular building and its treasures as they were taken on a tour of the site.
From the stunning gardens which lead down to the River Wye, to the Mappa Mundi and Chained Library, the virtual visit shared the history and beauty of the historic building.
It was wonderful to learn more about the history and beauty of Hereford Cathedral.
