Life at Magnolia Court Care Home
Our dining experience !
Dish of the day !
Magnolia Court's chef team prepared a delicious menu for residents. Golden beer battered cod, chipped potatoes, crushed minted peas with a home made tartare sauce. Always a firm favorite on a Friday with all at Magnolia Court.
There was also a choice of Lamb stroganoff with chipped or creamed potatoes. A delicious Courgette Soup to start and Apple Crumble seasoned with cinnamon served with a vanilla custard for desert.
Served with white wine in our beautiful dining room.
Trip out to Sunshine garden's !!
Trip out to Sunshine garden's !!
Residents from Magnolia Court were delighted to take a trip out to visit the Sunshine Garden Centre in Muswell Hill. It is packed full of lots of interesting plants, there was so much to see and choose from. We selected some beauties to add to our gardens here at Magnolia Court.
After all that hard work residents relaxed in the café and enjoyed a lovely cup of tea and a delicious piece of cake. What a lovely sunshine day !!…
International Dog Day !
We love Waffle !!
To mark International Dog Day we had a VIP (Very Important Pet) come to visit Magnolia Court Care Community. Waffle the adorable Cavapoo, also know as a Cavoodle in some circles, and her human friend Sarah spent time with residents and they were a huge hit with everyone.
Stroking a pet has been shown to lower blood pressure and the heart rate, bringing a calming and relaxing effect but most of all pets bring joy and love and there was lots of that.
Waffle is a cute bundle of energy and fun and we loved having her visit. Thank you Waffle and Sarah, we can't wait to see you again.
World Photography Day 2021 !
World Photography Day 2021
To mark World Photography Day, staff and residents at Magnolia Court care home in Golders Green were treated to a live streaming photography masterclass courtesy of top professional photographer, Damian Bailey.
Damian’s talk explained how he goes about capturing special moments and what makes a great photo in terms of technique and composition.
Disposable camera at the ready and with Damian's tips, residents put their photography skills to the test. Lots of our residents are keen photographers and were in their element!
As the years have passed our residents have built up an impressive photo collection and added photos from todays photography which they were only too proud to share.

Our life enrichment team arranged an afternoon of activities and entertainment that included a wonderful show, Enchanted Dreams, performed by JaZanne Arts - The show was full of colour, music and reminiscence.
A wonderful afternoon. Thank you to every one that joined us.
Time for Ice Cream !
Time for ice cream !
Residents and Team members were delighted when our local ice cream van stopped by. The favourite of the day was definitely an ice cream with a chocolate flake. Not only were they delicious but helped to cool us down in the beautiful weather we have been having.
We sat in our beautiful garden enjoying our ice creams reminiscing about the ice cream van. How originally they had been hand drawn and horse drawn carts and the excitement of children when they heard the ice cream vans song ringing out.
Lovely ice cream and lovely memories.
