Activities at Elgar Court Care Home

At our home we like to introduce residents to the wonders of modern technology. Here, Peter is creating magical mandalas using the painting app on our digital rainbow tablet and Roger is learning to use a laptop – “ You are never to old, but I’ll give it a go” Roger said!

One of the many delightful aspects of living at Elgar Court, are the daily services and amenities our residents enjoy. Our fine dining suite boasts a superb balcony to enjoy the views to the wonderful Malvern Hills, and our residents can use this any time they wish with family and friends or, just to take in the magnificent framed views to the Hills.

Life doesn’t stop when residents move into our home, and to find out more, please call: 01684 211 720 to arrange a look around.

The Blue Cross shop in Barnards Green Malvern has recently been refurbished and all money raised goes towards helping sick, injured and homeless pets. Pictured here is Jeanette, the Store Manager receiving our guests donations. To donate, please visit their donation page at: ww.bluecross.org.uk/donate

We would also like to thank Clare and her team at the Just for Pets store on the Malvern Retail park, for her advice on what treats to buy for our lucky winners !

Life doesn’t stop when your loved one moves into our home. As well as fun activities in our home, we like to make regular trips out including to Malvern’s finest wine bars. New friendships are forged, and conversation flows.

Picnic lunch in the sun and our lovely new residents making the most of this fabulous British weather!  Life is what you make it, and our home ensures our residents continue to live the life they want.

This weekend we celebrated our first year in our home – and what a year it has been!

Growing month by month, we have had the enormous pleasure of welcoming new residents and guests to Elgar Court. To celebrate this milestone, Councillor Clive Hooper who was the Mayor of Malvern and officially opened our home on 27 July 2023, returned to say a few words and also present home with the Malvern Civic Society Nomination Award for best new building in Malvern.

Cutting the wonderful cake, was Cherry, our first resident to move into Elgar Court. We were also particularly touched that our resident Roger, also wanted to give thanks to the life he and his partner Sheila have built with us.

Thank you to everyone in the community who came to Elgar Court to enjoy this special event with residents and staff.
