Activities at Elgar Court Care Home

More delicious cakes and celebrations this week! We are proud to launch our new digital care system ENABLE, to plan, record, and co-ordinate the care and life enrichment for our residents using smartphones and tablets. Not only will these handheld bespoke systems more efficient to support our teams to co-ordinate and deliver the highest quality individual care, these also capture the life enrichment our residents receive.

We raised a fantastic £150 at our fundraiser morning of cakes and drinks in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support & the Alzheimer’s Society. Thank you to residents, their families, friends and members of Malvern Cancer Group and Age UK who joined in with us to support these awesome charities.

A very special thanks to the following local companies who kindly donated prizes to our raffle - Thank you to Malvern Theatres for cinema tickets and Lonsdales Fresh Produce for the two enormous fresh fruit and veg boxes.

Pitter patter of pumpkins!

Just like our home is growing, and so are our pumpkins ready for Halloween!

These little beauties were planted from a seed in the summer by our residents, and we now have some little budding pumpkins flourishing - we just hope the shelves will take the weight!

We are so pleased to receive this FIVE STAR review from our resident's family on Carehome.co.uk. 

"What a wonderful caring place. My mum in law was adamant that she would not go into a care home. At 98 the family decided the time had come and we brought her on a 5 hour trip to Elgar Court.

She had a terrible journey and we arrived after 19.30, but all the staff were absolutely wonderful, she was looked after very well. The 'care for her started as she came through the doors'. A staff member had stayed on to do an assessment, the caring staff took on her care, we were all offered a great meal, and we left her well fed and comfortable in bed.

After 8 days at Elgar Court, she says it a marvellous place, and indeed it is, costly but certainly value for money.

Great care and life enrichment. Thank you every one of you"

We were excited to meet residents from another Barchester home this week, and welcomed them to our coffee morning at Elgar Court.  Over tea, coffee, cakes and chatter, new friendships were formed and life is never dull at our home.  We will always continue to look at different ways to entertain and enrich the lives of our residents at Barchester.  Thank you for coming to see us and we look forward to visiting you in your home!

One of our amazing residents has a hidden talent……Freddy raised over £500 making these wonderful Gonks for charity last year and we are hoping to raise money for Alzheimer's and Macmillan Cancer Support this month. The work both these charities do is phenomenal, both supporting people with these illnesses and finding ways to improve lives.

So we are fundraising for Alzheimer's and Macmillan Cancer Support, and we would love you to join us at our Macmillan Coffee morning on 29th September to buy one of these magical creations. All proceeds will be split between Macmillan Nurses and The Alzheimers Society.
