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

Petting the rabbits

Residents at Mulberry Court have enjoyed welcoming our new bunny rabbits Marvin and Mabel.  The outside run has made a lovely viewing arena for the residents to enjoy watching our little furry friends.  An additional mobile hutch created by our brilliant maintenance team has also made it possible for our residents indoors to enjoy seeing Marvin and Mabel too!

Birthday celebrations

Resident June Enticknap was presented with a beautiful bouquet of flowers for her 90th Birthday.  June had a lovely day spending time with her family and a big Happy Birthday from all of us here at Mulberry Court.  June said “I’ve had such a lovely day, made to feel very special!”

Residents enjoy safari trip

Here at Mulberry Court in York we were pleased to be able to dive into the wild safari life of Knowsley Safari and to enjoy an amazing live stream tour of the park’s grounds.

Our residents were smiling and laughing as they got up close and personal with some of the safari’s most popular animals, including giraffes and meerkats.

We had a wonderful time learning more about the animals and enjoying some live feeding demonstrations. 

Blooming at Mulberry Court

Here at Mulberry Court, we were delighted to spend time creating a beautiful floral masterpiece to enter the #BloomingBarchester competition in partnership with Blooming Haus following their amazing virtual flower arranging masterclass. 

We all had a wonderful time decorating and working on our arrangement and we are happy to say we were impressed with our skills in applying all the tips and ideas learnt during the class to make a colourful floral design.

Residents enjoy the sunshine

Residents took advantage of the recent warm sunshine and enjoyed a wander around the garden looking at  the plants and all the discussing the names of the various plants and all the different colours, residents also enjoy filling up the bird feeder with water and bird seeds they like to watch from around the grounds.

Flower arranging club

Residents at Mulberry Court enjoy their “Friday friendship flower arranging” group and take delight in choosing from all the colourful flowers to create their floral vase displays before sitting back to enjoy a refreshing coffee and slice of home-made cake in the bistro.  The floral displays sit proudly throughout the home for all to see as they pass.
