Activities at Elgar Court Care Home
Our activities team are great at building the activities programme around the likes and interests of the people we care for. Ensuring that our social events offer fun and adventure is part of the ethos of our home; it’s important that those we support can enjoy an active and social lifestyle. Of course, there will always be those who prefer peace and quiet, and in these instances, a cup of tea and a chat are always welcomed.
Kerrie Perks
Hello, My name is Kerrie and I provide the unique life enrichment for residents at Elgar Court. I moved to Malvern 12 years ago to live with my fiance and we have two tortoises and a snake. I love to play Dungeons and Dragons with my friends. I am very 'outdoorsy' and used to ride horses and compete nationally in athletics, specialising in track and field for Redditch and Bromsgrove athletics club. In my spare time, I love being in the kitchen and making treats for my family.

Celebrating 200 Years of Cadbury
This is National Dementia Awareness Week.
Celebrating Dementia Action Week at our care home was truly special.
During this year’s Dementia Action Week, our residents had the opportunity to take part in a live virtual event and delve into Cadbury incredible 200-year history and take a trip down memory lane to reminisce on some of the nation’s most loved chocolate.
Our residents and teams came together for a heart warming reminiscing activity to share memories and lovely stories.
Thanks to the generous support of Cadbury, we received a delightful surprise – memory bar boxes filled with Dairy Milk bars wrapped in designs reflecting Cadbury rich 200-year history.
We all had a great time and enjoyed some delicious sweet treats!
