Activities at Mulberry Court Care Home

The team at Mulberry Court works hard to support and encourage residents to participate in both group and individual activities, based around their preferences and lifestyle choices. We take time to get to know each person, sitting with them and listening to them speak about their lives, interests, and aspirations. We have access to our own minibus so outings to nearby places of interest are available; for example local museums, art galleries, garden centres, and public houses. We also host themed evenings, such as 'Quiz and Meal-in-a-Basket', 'The Races (Greyhounds, Horses)', and 'Takeaway and Movie Night' that we also encourage relatives to come to. We believe lifestyle choices and activities are one of the most important aspects of a care home, and it is essential that we help residents to have fulfilling and enjoyable lives.

Hedgehog house making

Residents all helped to put together a hedgehog house from pre-cut wooden pieces. Once the structure was put together we all helped to paint it and then took a walk in our gardens and chose a secluded little spot where we tucked it away. We all keep checking to see if we have a new little lodger.

Hedgehog Painting

Residents had an afternoon of painting hedgehogs as we were having a week of hedgehog themed activities, some chose to copy real hedgehogs while others did an animated version of the little creatures. Our residents all enjoyed getting creative!

Historic Royal Palaces

Across our services, our residents were treated to a special virtual sensory storytelling session. Together with Art Historian Jon Sleigh and the Historic Royal Palaces community team, we explored several royal palaces through the theme of food, dining and celebration!

We enjoyed a fantastic taste-a-long experience from the comfort of our home, from Tudor treats to Stuart sweets. A lovely time was had by all.

The Arctic Airship Italia

Across our services we had a lovely time joining Mark Piesing for an exciting virtual event to discuss his book ‘N-4 Down: The Hunt for The Arctic Airship Italia’.

Our residents were thrilled to find out more about the book and the fascinating story of the world-famous exploring airship Italia, returning from the North Pole on May 24, 1928. The airship was struck by a terrible storm and crashed somewhere over the Arctic ice, triggering the largest polar rescue mission in history.

The virtual book club experience was truly enjoyed by all.

Valentine’s Day

There was Love all around in our home with roses, cup-cakes and chocolates! We decorated lovely wooden hanging hearts and made our own Valentines cards for family friends and our fabulous hard working staff. We think everyone felt the Love today!

Minibus trips

Our minibus trips are always such good fun and everyone gets a chance to come out. This month we have been to a few local garden centres where we browsed around some rose gardens and pottered amongst gnomes! A lovely lunch in the café and everyone was ready for an afternoon nap after the lovely fresh air.
