Activities at Oxford Beaumont Care Community
Our Activities Coordinators are committed to organising a mix of activities and events that cater to all tastes, which includes minibus outings to nearby places of interest and visits from animal trusts, local school choirs, musicians and entertainers. We also undertake one-to-one activities for residents who are unable to participate in group sessions, and encourage loved ones to join in whenever they can.

Life at Oxford Beaumont Care Community
Celebrating Eid al-Fitr
A big THANK YOU to Nadia and Bibi for hosting festivities in the home for Eid!
Residents enjoyed discussing the festival in the morning with Nadia and hearing about different traditions and cultures. Following that, in the afternoon everyone got to try the delicious Pakistani food cooked by the ladies to top off the Eid celebrations.
Puppy Love!
Here at the Oxford Beaumont we always love visits from furry friends! Six week old Teddy came to visit us and staff and residents enjoyed lots of cuddles with the pup! Visits from animals are great for supporting residents well-being and promote great conversations. Some residents even chatted about their own pets that they used to own which brought back many fond memories.
We hope to see Teddy again soon!
Easter Celebrations
During the morning of Easter Sunday residents enjoyed visits from the Easter Bunny who helped spread the Easter joy around the home whilst delivering chocolate eggs!
The celebrations continued with a tea party open to all residents, families and loved ones. There were an array of delicious refreshments including scones and hot cross buns! There was also an Easter colouring competition open to all of the community and residents got to choose the winning card! It was a great day of bringing people together chatting and reminiscing about different Easter traditions.
An Easter Outing to Millets Farm
Despite the dreary rain we were not stopped from getting out and about! Residents had a fun trip out in the mini bus to the local garden centre to see the different displays and to see their wide range of spring flowers and plants! After a walk round the farm we stopped in the café for tea and cake!
Easter Cake Competition
Barchester is has been holding a competition for the most creative and imaginative Easter cakes made by residents.
As a group we discussed how we would like to decorate our cake and we are definitely pleased with the outcome! The session provided opportunities for residents to express their creativity and reminisce about their own Easter traditions with their families and friends.
St. Patrick’s Day Celebrations
Here at the Oxford Beaumont we fully embraced the Irish culture by learning about the history of St. Patrick, listening to traditional music, dressing in green and of course drinking some Irish cream!
We were also joined by Reverend Glynis and Janet for a St. Patrick’s Day church service in the afternoon which included hymns for residents to sing along to as well as listening to tales and myths of the Saint!
