Activities at Elgar Court Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.
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.
Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies
Life at Elgar Court Care Home
Happy Chinese Lunar Year - "Gong hei fat choy"
Peter's Mile-Stone!
Peter wanted to “Walk a Mile” as he had been so poorly and could hardly walk before coming into the wonderful care at our home, Elgar Court Residential Home in Malvern two months ago! So once the care staff had built him up with great nutritious food, delightful company and around the clock care, staff at the home made Peter’s wish a reality.
The one mile round trip walk was made from Elgar Court on St Andrews road down to the Morgan Pub, where a very satisfying pint was ready waiting as his reward! Peter said, “It felt great to finally do this, and I have been practising walking around the home for a few weeks now”. Peter’s daughter Lynn Robinson a local nurse said, “What an achievement considering Dad arrived at Elgar Court on 6th November and had to be helped to get out of the car and could barely walk! Just 9 weeks from unable to walk as he was so weak and malnourished to walking a mile - Elgar Court have saved him and given me my dad back!”
