Celia Palmer
I’m Celia and I’m the Activity coordinator here at Edgbaston Beaumont. I previously worked as an activity coordinator in a hostel and am enjoying the shift into the residential setting. I have an arts background so enjoy painting and drawing in my spare time, which hopefully I can share my love for with the residents here. I also enjoy reading, travel, live music and looking after my cats! And copious amounts of tea.

Life at Edgbaston Beaumont Care Home
Raising the bar
We had so much fun this week when we turned the homes lounge into a pub where residents were able to enjoy a drink, played darts, dominoes and a game of pool. Some residents simply sat back and enjoyed the atmosphere chatting together with their drink in hand. As the afternoon progressed they enjoyed a fabulous sing-a-long!
We definitely ‘raised the bar’ and look forward to our next soiree together…..
Eyes down for a game of bingo
It was ‘eyes down’ for residents at Edgbaston Beaumont as they attempted to win a full house during a game of festive themed bingo, with activities the house caller!
Many of the residents have played bingo prior to moving into the home and bingo continues to be a popular game for the home as part of its life enrichment programme. There is lots of excitement in the air to see who will claim the prize!
Chocolate fountain treats!
Residents enjoyed a delicious chocolate fountain afternoon with our Head Chef, Pauline. There were lots of fruits and marshmallows to dip into the Fountain as an afternoon treat!
