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
Groundbreaking
Barchester Healthcare has broken ground on a brand new 66 bed luxury care home development in Malvern.
Elgar Court Care Home is being built by J Tomlinson and will provide personalised residential, dementia and respite care for older people in Malvern and the surrounding areas from late 2022.
The luxury new home has been designed with residents’ comfort in mind, with a café for residents to socialise and enjoy freshly baked treats, spa bathrooms for a luxury bath time experience, beautiful en-suite bedrooms with smart TVs, a choice of comfortable lounges, a dedicated activities room, and in-house hair and beauty salon for a little bit of pampering.
Senior Property Development Manager at Barchester, Andrew Williams, commented: “We are really excited to get this project under way. Elgar Court Care Home will be a fantastic addition to the local community.”
Tony Shenton, Managing Director of J Tomlinson’s care division, added: "J Tomlinson is pleased to have officially broken ground at the site that will become Barchester Healthcare’s newest care facility. We look forward to managing construction of Elgar Court Care Home and delivering a luxurious yet comfortable living space that facilitates the provision of first-class, resident-centric care.”
Mr Williams was joined at Malvern by Peter Williams, Contracts Manager and Abdul Boilya, Project Manager from J Tomlinson, and Pete Wilson, Project Manager for MacLeod & Aitken to celebrate the ground breaking of this latest site. The care home will have an on-site marketing suite that will open its doors to the local community and visitors next summer.
