Activities at Mulberry Court Care Home

Celebrations have been in full swing at Mulberry Court as one of its residents reaches her centenary in style.  Dorothy was joined by staff, relatives, friends and other residents as she received a telegram from the King in recognition of her landmark birthday. A champagne reception was held at the home and guests enjoyed a special birthday cake made by the home’s Chef and hospitality team.

 The birthday girl, Dorothy said: “I don’t feel like I’m 100 and I am thankful to have got here, and have such a beautiful family and some very dear friends”.

At Mulberry Court we provide care services for our residents needing support and the availability of qualified nurses 24 hours a day.

It is important to everyone at Mulberry Court to support residents to maintain as much independence as possible.

Care plans are designed in consultation with the resident and their family, recognising that each resident has their own individual needs and tailored personal requirements.

It’s such a delight when a care plan results in one of our residents sitting in a chair for the first time in ages and experiencing new frontiers, including participation in a group activity.

What a beautiful smile!

Happy Valentine’s Day. Our home was filled with flowers, cards, balloons and decorations as we celebrated the day of love in style with sweet treats and gifts.

We marked the day by making and sending cards to loved ones. Our residents had the opportunity to taste delicious themed sweet and savoury treats, prepared by our talented chef, whilst listening to all-time favourite love songs.

It was a lovely day and it was wonderful to see everyone go to so much effort to get involved with the day’s festivities.

Across our homes we had a fantastic time joining, Kathryn Delve, Master Florist, for a Valentine’s-inspired live virtual flower arranging demonstration. Kathryn shared brilliant and creative ways to decorate our tables with beautiful flowers that are sure to make your heart swoon!

Those participating in this virtual event put their skills to the test and followed along with some amazing creations of their own.  Residents truly enjoyed the experience.

Across our services residents had a fantastic time during a special live virtual event, led by Emilia from Medical Detection Dogs.

Emilia took us on a journey to discover how the organisation began training dogs to support people with complex health conditions, saving their lives on a daily basis.

Using their amazing sense of smell, these dogs can identify odour changes emitted prior an episode and alert the person to take preventative action.

We were introduced to the wonderful dogs and the science behind the sniff.  It was a delightful experience for everyone, especially our canine-loving residents.

everyone was so excited to welcome back Maggie from Musical Moments to entertain us with her range of musical based activities, including safe adapted exercises.

The sessions are tailored to suit both group and individual sessions, with the aim of providing fun for all residents at Mulberry Court, maintaining physical and mental well-being.
