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.

A Festival of Trees
What a wonderful sight we saw at Worcester Cathedral this week. This annual event brings together businesses, schools and charities to showcase a spectacular array of christmas trees to celebrate their organisations. It was truly an awe inspiring experience to see the themes and work that had gone into each tree, and residents admired each and every one!
A Sparkling Christmas!
Life at Elgar Court continues to thrive and we are looking forward to our second year in our home. National celebrations and family-friendly events are just some of the ways that we ensure our residents remain connected with their loved ones and the wider community.

Community Action Christmas Fayre
For the last three years, Elgar Court has had the pleasure visiting the annual Community Action Christmas Fayre and donating our traditional Christmas hamper for their raffle. Residents really enjoyed meeting other members of the local community, having a go at the exciting raffle and singing along to the fabulous choir, Vox Rox choir! Pictured with the Prize hamper is our resident Jenny and Susie Forbes, the Christmas Fayre organiser. And the lucky winner of the prize hamper was the life long volunteer for community action and deserved winner!
Community Action Malvern and District charity has the most amazing staff and volunteers, and is a cornerstone of support in the town. One of their biggest aims is to reduce social isolation for older and disabled people living here. Merry Christmas everyone!
