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.
Zoe Giles
Hi my name is Zoe I am the lead activities co-ordinator here at Mulberry Court, I started in January 2024 having previously worked at another care home on reception, however I started doing more and more activities with the resident’s there so when I got the chance to move across to a Barchester home and do the role of lead I took the opportunity.
I have always enjoyed organising and am usually the one in the family who brings everyone together and sorts things so I feel I have found my true calling!
I am so lucky to be able to say I love my job, no two days are ever the same, although every day is so rewarding and to know I have made a difference to someone is the greatest feeling whether that’s through a group activity or an individual room visit to even stopping and saying a few words to them.

Life at Mulberry Court Care Home
Caroline Plays her Flute
A lovely music afternoon in Mulberry Court as our Activities Coordinator created a brilliant playlist of our residents most favourite songs and even treated us all to some of her flute music.
A trip to Scarborough
Residents had an amazing trip out in our minibus to Scarborough where one of our fellow Barchester homes, Scarborough Hall had arranged an incredible event in their local church. Barchester homes from all over the Northern region came together for what they named ‘Choirchester’. Our residents enjoyed fish and chips on the front and then a lovely afternoon singing along with all the other residents and even the local children’s choir.
National Beer Day
Residents celebrated National Beer day in style at with a large selection of bitters, beers and ales to choose from. It didn’t take much persuading and everyone had a little taster. Fortunately it was a lovely sunny day and we were able to enjoy the afternoon outside in our gardens with a good old sing song.. We certainly “rolled out the barrel!”
