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
Green fingers Gardening Club
We took advantage of the sunshine and got out and about to plant flowers in tubs and pots! If you would like to join our Green Fingers club, please do give us a call and find out how you can join in with us!
Walking by Bluebells
Off in our minibus Mabel, we took to the Malvern Hills to find the Bluebell woods. Sheila our resident couldn’t believe that we had booked such a fabulous day as the weather was shining and warm.
We were awash with a sea of bluebells and counted us as so lucky to see them in this mini window of nature’s opportunity!
All of an Origami Flutter
We had a masterclass on how to make origami butterflies out of paper. Residents really enjoyed this mindfulness activity and our resident Cherry has even decided to to now have a go at making a squirrel.
Family and Community members are always welcome to join in our fun! Call us to find out more on: 01684 211 720
Bath bombs away!
Fragrant wafts filled the air, as residents learnt how to make bath bombs.
Coconut butter, lavender and rose oils were the order of the day as fizzy delights tickled our senses as residents mixed and made these bathing beauties!

Music to our ears - English Symphony Orchestra
We love hosting activities with Age UK and also joining in their own community events in the Malvern and the wider Worcestershire community. They hosted visiting members the English Symphony Orchestra at their Worcester Community centre recently and our residents absolutely loved hearing classical pieces and interpretations on modern classics.
It was especially poignant for some of residents with dementia who were swept away of their favourite composers brought alive by these very talented musicians – thank you!
All Smiles at Powick Primary school
After receiving over 250 birthday cards, Alice wanted to thank the wonderful schools. As well as sending thank you cards, Alice visited Powick Primary school and met the lovely members of the school’s Smile club.
This is a voluntary pupil club where children can come together once a week and get involved with the community, and this is where they put the banners and cards. Alice really enjoyed sharing memories and talking about her school days to the children and, showed them a photo of her at school!
Thank you for having us and we look forward to seeing you soon.
