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.

A trip to the local park

We have been taking our residents for a short walk to our beautiful local park while the weather is good. Just a 15 minute walk up the road and we are there. We enjoy a tour around the ornamental garden and pond and take a look at the Coronation sculptures and beautiful flowers. With a little picnic on board it’s a lovely morning trip out for our residents.

Alzheimer’s Society donation

Our General Manager Rachael Moss and registered volunteer Mike Pollard were very proud to hand over a cheque for £200 to Julie Henderson, representative from the Alzheimer’s Society . We raised the money from our 'A mile a day for a week in May' where we took residents each day for a walk around the local area to raise money for this worthy cause.

Tissue Flower Making

It's amazing what you can make with tissue paper just look at these summer flower arrangements we made at Mulberry Court. A little bit fiddly but as one of our residents commented "keeps us out of mischief!"

A dogs life

Across of homes residents had a fantastic time during a special live virtual event, led by Jennifer and Emily from Dogs Trust, the UK's largest dog welfare charity. Jennifer and Emily took us on a journey to discover the rich history of Dogs Trust and their facilities.

Using captivating video and photo footage, our residents were able to explore rehoming centres and learn more about the highest level of welfare offered there. It was a delightful experience for everyone, especially our dog lovers.

Caroline Plays her Flute

A lovely music afternoon in Mulberry Court as our Activities Coordinator created a brilliant playlist of our residents most favourite songs and even treated us all to some of her flute music.
