Activities at Mulberry Court Care Home

Here at Mulberry Court, we realise the importance of resident’s being able to continue with their hobbies and interests, so we set up a gardening club.

Bi-weekly our very own award winning gardener, Chris hosts our gardening club to help resident’s continue their love of gardening, this week we planted sunflower seeds for a competition to see who can grow the tallest one!

We like the whole home approach here at Mulberry court so embrace Chris coming to give us demonstrations, his knowledge and his time.

On Monday 13th Lillian reached her Milestone birthday, she celebrated with family in our first floor Jubilee Lounge, which had been especially decorated for the occasion.

A buffet was freshly prepared by our in house kitchen team as well as the all-important birthday cake.

Lilian had a wonderful afternoon as the champagne flowed and gifts and cards were opened.

Happy birthday Lilian from us all at Mulberry court.

Last month we started a book club, this was done in partnership with “The Blue House Bookshop” of York.

On Tuesday 14th May we welcomed back Pam to talk about our favourite books and authors.

Although we all had a very varied taste of books we all share the same passion for reading and enjoyed talking about our books and reading extracts from them.

Thank – you Pam for once again giving up your time and we look forward to future book clubs.

Residents across our services had a wonderful time joining Cadbury for an interactive virtual talk on their fascinating 200-year history.

Residents joining learnt interesting facts about the chocolate giant, shared memories, and reminisced about their favourite sweet treats.

It was a heartwarming experience filled with laughter, nostalgia, and plenty of chocolatey goodness!

Mulberry Court welcomed popular vocalist, Trevor Woodhead to perform in the home. Trevor performed a medley of hits throughout the decades from Cliff Richard to Elvis and everything in between!

There was much toe tapping and hand clapping as residents sung along, it was a wonderful way to spend the afternoon before a refreshing cup of tea and slice of cake especially prepared by the homes hospitality team.

Celebrations have been in full swing at Mulberry Court, as one of its residents reaches her special birthday in style. A champagne reception was held at the home and guests enjoyed a special birthday cake made by the home’s chef Steve. The birthday girl, said I feel so lucky to have reached this age and still be able to enjoy my family and friends.

Rachael Moss General Manager of Barchester Mulberry court added: “We’re delighted to be celebrating a truly remarkable woman as she reaches this amazing milestone. Joyce is such a popular resident who always has an interesting tale to tell, and we look forward to hearing many more as she continues into her next century.”
