Activities at Magnolia 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 Coordinators work as a team by involving staff and relatives in the activities sessions. They implement and plan activities tailored to residents' likes, dislikes, beliefs and life stories. Lots of people choose to place loved ones in Magnolia Court because of our reputation for hosting great activities all year long!

Open Day at Magnolia Court
Care Home Open Day at Magnolia Court was such a successful celebration. The Mayor of Barnet, David Longstaff, and the Mayoress, Ms. Gillian Griffiths, both attended the event. The Mayor gave a speech, enjoyed some delicious food from the BBQ and gave the raffle's first prize to the winner. The Mayor thanked all of us for the lovely afternoon and said, "I was happy to come but didn't expect to end up dancing."
All the relatives congratulated the staff and left with a happy spirit.
Jose and Mimi, our Activities Coordinators, also thanked all the staff for their help and support.
Bird Therapy
Colin, the bird therapist, visited our care home with his lovely European eagle-owl, a falcon and a baby owl. The session lasted more than two hours. Residents could interact with the birds in a group or have one-to-one sessions. Colin was very patient and told the residents all about his bird's lives. It wasn't only beneficial for our lovely residents, but also very much enjoyed by relatives and staff.
