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
Gonk Activities
You may remember our resident Freddy in September was making Gonks for charity, and he has been sharing this special Gonk making skills with other residents at one of our weekly events. It’s always good to try something new, and other residents enjoyed an afternoon of learning this technique and a lot of laughter!
Calling All Emergency Services - Take A break with Us
We are launching our Take a Break With Us campaign for all emergency services and medical personnel in Malvern as a THANK YOU from us for all the hard work you do. We welcome you to take a break at our home and join us for a drink and cake and use our free Wifi – You are also welcomed to take it away with you if you can’t stop (we know you are very busy!).
This week to launch Take A Break, we had the joy delivering bags of goodies in Minibus Mabel, to some of our local teams with Sarah our General Manager and Jenny one of our residents.
