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

Activities Leader

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.

Poppy Fields – Remembering

Our Home has started to prepare for Remembrance day on 11 November this year, with residents creating their own poppy fields to remember those who have lost their lives to ensure the liberty of this country. Groups of residents have been recycling the medication paper cups into poppies, and as you can see their are delightful and made with love. As usual, it’s very social, with laughter and chatter throughout the sessions with a beautifully crafted poppies waiting to be ‘planted’ outside our home.
National celebrations and family-friendly events are just some of the ways that we ensure the residents at Elgar Court remain connected with their loved ones and the wider community. Please do drop by over the next few weeks and see these Poppy wonders, and do join us for coffee and donate to the Poppy Appeal why you are here.

Spending Quality Time!

We are very excited to welcome two wonderful, well mannered young men from Malvern College, who will spend time with our residents over the next few months. Theodore and Alistair are currently studying at this prestigious international school, and also undertaking their Gold Duke of Edinburgh award.Theodore and Alistair, have been spending time hearing memories and sharing life experiences of residents and of their own lives. From listening to Ken talking about his time coaching Olympic runner Peter Radford and having tea with the late Queen, to playing Qwirkle with residents, the boys are popular new guests to our home.At Elgar Court, no day is ever the same, and we know that intergenerational activity is hugely beneficial to all involved as it encourages communication and social skills. It helps young adults to develop empathy, care and kindness, helping them to understand and talk more positively about ageing and older people.
