Activities at Mulberry Court Care Home

It's was a busy afternoon here at Mulberry Court when we enjoyed a a visit from the local ‘Birds of Prey’ centre based in Huby near York. So many residents wanted to see these fantastic birds that we decided to take advantage of the glorious late summer sunshine and experience the encounters in our award winning garden.

Everyone who wanted to hold the birds had a turn, several people asked questions as well as listening to the team talk to us about each bird as they were passed around and said how much they'd enjoyed the encounter.

Resident, Gerry realises dream as he attends his grandson’s wedding. Gerry expressed a wish to attend the traditional church service as part of the bride and grooms multi-cultural wedding celebrations lasting several days as his faith is hugely important to him..

With lots of planning and preparation we were only too delighted to help Gerry make this happen!  Gerry was delighted to see family and friends in attendance, some of whom he hadn’t seen for several years. 

Gerry was extremely grateful to everyone at Mulberry Court for their help in getting him to the wedding especially to Donna who looked stunning in traditional dress especially for the occasion.

A big thank you to the Cornish Seal Sanctuary for the fantastic live virtual event today!

Residents across our services loved seeing the seals up close and learning about the incredible work the sanctuary does to protect them and other wildlife in Cornwall as well.

Everyone truly enjoyed the experience. 

Wedding bells were the order of the day here at Mulberry Court care home on Friday 6th September as one of our lovely resident’s Ann became mother of the bride!! Unfortunately Ann could not attend in person however we still wanted to mark the occasion and make it as memorable as possible for her, so a special afternoon tea with bucks fizz was laid out for both Ann and her guest to enjoy while watching the live stream of the wedding in the privacy and quiet of her room.

This afternoon we welcomed the animals and their owners from Diggin Den to our home,  the weather held so we all made our way out into our beautiful garden, where not only resident’s but their family and friends gathered too to be entertained by all the rabbits and guinea pigs.

It was lovely to see the contentment on everyone’s faces as the animals interacted with residents and their calming ways

Animals have such a positive therapeutic influence and are excellent for promoting positive mental health and well-being, we look forward to welcoming them back at some point in the future.

We recently invited back the mobile fairground organ belonging to J.Rymer to entertain our resident’s their family and friend’s once more with its unique sound.

The day itself was dry so our residents wrapped up in blankets and headed outside into our award winning garden where an afternoon tea had been prepared, a selection of cakes and biscuits were enjoyed throughout the afternoon while listening to such songs as “Over the rainbow” before finishing off the entertainment with the national anthem.
