Christmas Carols at Great Malvern Priory
Residents met up with friends at Great Malvern Priory this week whilst enjoying the Christmas concert by Malvern Parish School. You may remember that this delightful school named our three communities in our home at Elgar Court when we first opened, and we always look forward to this school's activities.
Resident trips outings each week are always looked forward to by everyone, and the festive spirit at Great Malvern Priory is always enjoyed in our close Malvern community.
All that Glitters is Golden!

Today all the residents and staff have been laughing and joking making decorative baubles, and of course a little drink or two to enjoy!
Our General Manager Sarah joined in the fun and spent time with our lovely residents throughout the afternoon, as the festive spirit got under way. These decorations will go very nicely with the beautiful christmas decorations that have been out together by Sarah our Head Housekeeper (pictured here by one of her trees in reception).
And of course Alice (who is 105 years young!), enjoyed making her baubles with a sip of Baileys to keep her festive spirit up!
Memory tree - Celebrating life at Christmas!
We have been writing down our favourite memories to go on the Memory tree we made. Our residents spent the morning laughing and chatting as they put together our home's Memory Tree and fastening the tags with their special memories to them.
Sharing memories and celebrating the times we have together are so important, and we love hearing everyone's times gone past and hopes for the future!
Residents bid a very fond farewell to Darren!
Darren is one of Barchester's highly valued peripatetic senior Chefs, and today is sadly his last day with us. 'Peri teams' as they are nicknamed, understand the Barchester way of life to maintain our high expectations and are invaluable to ensure life in our home is uninterrupted for our residents.
We will all be sad to see Darren go, and hope he enjoys his chocolates and John Lewis voucher from us as a token of our appreciation. Good luck Darren and we hope you drop in and see us again!
Happy birthday!
We always celebrate our resident's birthday with cake and a tipple and this week is no exception! Birthdays are not only celebrated with our residents and their families, but also for our resident to enjoy with their friends at Elgar Court.
Celebrating National Men's Day with Malvern Men's Shed
We invited the Malvern Men's shed to our home to celebrate International Men's Day in 2025. This day is celebrated worldwide with various events aimed at recognizing men's contributions to families, workplaces, and communities.
But as we welcome everyone and are inclusive, we also had the pleasure of welcoming representatives from the Women's Shed too! Both of these groups are open to everyone in the community and brought along some of the wonderful items made by it's members.
Our residents were delighted by the items and getting to know them and we are looking into how residents can become more involved with their activities.
Oyez, Oyez, Oyez!
Oyez, oyez, oyez!!! We took part in Malvern town's Christmas light switch on event and met our lovely community!
