Activities at Mulberry Court Care Home

Wow what a fantastic afternoon we had her at Mulberry court care home York, for our summer fair on Saturday 22nd June we could not have asked for a sunnier afternoon.

Every-one had a great time listening to John Kellow sing for us, chat to York’s very own mayor (Margaret Wells) and her Sheriff (Ms Fiona Fitzpatrick), as well as several members of York inset bike group who also attended and spoke to residents about their machines.

We welcomed a few outside stall holders such as Avon etc as well as hosting our own plant stall, book stall, lucky dip, hook a duck and tombola.

Wonderful to see so many residents and their families enjoying the event.

One of our residents Elena had her ears pierced a long time ago and one of her ears unfortunately has healed up so because the lovely Elena has recently made a wish to Mulberry to get her other ear re-done so she can wear both of her earrings, we thought we would make her dream come true. Also our supportive Resident Ambassador – Eileen also had her ears re-done as well.

So Madeline Wood from Bad Girl Beauty, came into our home and made Elena’s wish come true, thank you so much.Here at Mulberry Care home, we like to make wishes come true for our residents.

Here at Mulberry Court, we wanted to remember D-day as a moment in history that changed the world forever, so we wanted to mark the anniversary with dignity and respect as well as giving thanks.

So earlier in the week we made memorial of remembrance for those who wanted to could pay their respects,  then in the afternoon we welcomed Jules vintage singer to our home to entertain us with war time classics, then finished off the afternoon with a tasty ice-cream from local firm swirls.

Guide dogs are more than assistance animals, they're loyal companions and trusted guides for people with a vision impairment.

Thank you Jane for bringing your lovely Black Labrador Guide Dog Venus to visit Mulberry Court Care Home - Barchester Healthcare.

It was an amazing activity session – Jane told us about her experience about having a guide dog and how it transformed her life.

And of course, residents, family and staff loved every minute of feeding Venus little treats.

Residents across our services enjoyed a fantastic virtual tour of The Deep, an award-winning aquarium in Hull.

Our residents dived into the underwater world of some fascinating creatures such as sharks, turtles and stingrays.

It was a truly immersive and educational experience that brought the wonders of the ocean right to our screens.

Here at Mulberry Court, we realise the importance of resident’s being able to continue with their hobbies and interests, so we set up a gardening club.

Bi-weekly our very own award winning gardener, Chris hosts our gardening club to help resident’s continue their love of gardening, this week we planted sunflower seeds for a competition to see who can grow the tallest one!

We like the whole home approach here at Mulberry court so embrace Chris coming to give us demonstrations, his knowledge and his time.
