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
Admiral's Cafe in Colwall
Each month, there is the Admiral's Cafe in Colwall, where people are welcomed for a friendly catch up over tea and cake. I was welcomed by Marcus, Mike and their team and Reverend Melanie Horton and we all enjoyed listening to Colwall Primary school singing and to a group of Handbell ringers - where we sang along to christmas carols! The super volunteers put on a delicious spread of home made cakes and a raffle too. Elgar Court will be taking along residents to the next events to meet new friends and enjoy being part of this community. We look forward to seeing you in January.

Another Successful Community Action Christmas Fayre
This year Elgar Court Retirement home donated a number of fruit and vegetable mini hampers to the abundant raffle prizes – which pleased the large number of visitors supporting this event.
Thank you so much to the hardworking Community Action Team who yet again, put on this amazing and very popular Christmas Fayre at the weekend. See picture.
Jenny our guest resident (blue stripy jumper) and I volunteered our support at this incredible event, and Elgar Court looks forward to joining in with their activities they deliver in 2024.
Neigh, neigh, neigh…… Yes, Yes, Yes!
Make A Wish this Christmas – They are coming true for residents!
At our home each resident is celebrated in their own right, and every day one of resident’s is made ‘Resident of the Day!’ We were very, very lucky this weekend when three wonderful ladies on their horses, granted Martha and Roger wishes. Both had a love of horses and owned them in the past! Apples were given out to the horses by Martha and Roger at this surprise visit, and the ladies have promised to drop by again! Thank you so much to Lisa, Susi and Claire and their horses who gave their time to our residents!

International Elf Day and the Macular Degeneration Charity Day!
We are supporting International Elf Day and the Macular Degeneration Charity Day!
Our cheeky little Elves were helping in and around the home today! From helping residents to decorate the mini christmas cakes we made for charity (laden with brandy too), to naughty water fights in our home! What a giggle! PS: I think Sarah our Home Manager was in her element decorating cakes with Joan, Maureen and Sheila!

Elevenses Galore!
Yet again, we have another post showing off our delicious delights served to our residents! Chef made fresh cream eclairs today were piled high on our tea trolley and served to residents with their morning elevenses (I think our Resident Ambassador had two…..!). We really love being able to spoil our residents, and each day there is something new for all everyone to enjoy!
