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.

Residents enjoy spooky treats

Barchester’s Mulberry Court was a den of ghoulish activity as the home’s spooky Halloween party got in to full swing.

Staff and residents got in to the spirit of things with a fun filled spooktacular activities calendar before sitting back to enjoy a cup of tea with a delicious slice of home-made cake and a selection of sweet treats.

Jolly Sweet Trolley

The ‘Jolly Sweets Trolley’ goes around the home giving Mulberry Court residents the opportunity to enjoy some of their favourite sweet treats. Residents are given a choice of old fashioned sweets, sugar-free sweets, chocolates and crisps.

The residents love seeing it get rolled out with some of their choice treats, and sometimes they will request for it to go around the home more than once a week. While going around the home with the trolley, activities catch up to ensure that everyone’s firm favourites are available, and also what kind of different activities they would like to see, as well as to let them know what has been planned for the week ahead.

The mobile trolley is very popular at Mulberry Court and it's lovely to see the resident’s smiles as they see it rolling along.

Home create Harvest display

Residents and staff at Mulberry Court had a lot of fun as they worked together to create the homes fabulous Harvest Festival display. Some expressed concern that it may be mistaken for a Halloween display and management refused to comment.

Parachute fun

When we first told our wonderful residents that today activity would involve a parachute, some were initially concerned and reluctant to take part.

Once we explained that on this action nobody would be expected to jump out of an aeroplane, then they were queuing up to find out what it was all about.

Steve Edgar, General manager said it was a lovely sight to see a group of residents taking part, laughing and having fun togeather in the sunshine and in our beautifull garden.
