Activities at Stamford Bridge Beaumont Care Home

Our weekly knit and knatter group is so wonderful. To see our residents thrive at a skill that has played such a big role throughout their life is amazing. We often hear them sharing stories with each other about the many things they have made through the years.

A couple of the ladies started on a special project ready for world Alzheimer’s day. 

On the anniversary of Queen Elizabeth's death our residents had a day of activities to remember her by. In the morning residents did flower arranging which brought lots of colour into the home. We also enjoyed coffee and home made cake, which was prepared by our chef, in the garden whilst discussing the late Queen and all of our favourite memories. 

Staff and residents from Stamford Bridge Beaumont care home in Stamford Bridge were treated to a trip down memory lane when they visited the local Gardens, Burnby Hall in Pocklington. 

Residents had a fantastic time remembering previous trips that they had taken, they shared their anecdotes and reminisced about the changes that had taken place, no one more so than our resident Margaret who along with her husband wrote a book about the history of the gardens, which is still on sale in the gift shop today.

We had the pleasure of welcoming Bridge Shanty Crew to our home.

The sun was shining and the garden was full as many of our residents sat out to listen to the singers who were fantastic and enjoyed by everyone, including family members who joined us for the performance. 

Following the entertainment our residents and their families enjoyed refreshments in our main lounge where they discussed how amazing the singers were. 

Our residents headed out on our minibus to Burnby Hall Gardens where they enjoyed feeding the fish, walking around the gardens and admiring the birds in the avery. To top the morning off they enjoyed some cake and coffee in the cafe.

The weather was very kind to us and some of our residents even had their shorts on - it was a beautiful day. We look forward to visiting again in the future. 

A local band called Dark Moon came to entertain our residents and families. Residents were in great spirits, up dancing and swaying along. The band played a great selection of songs from Sweet Caroline to Tulips From Amsterdam, residents knew all the songs and had a lot of fun singing along.

After the afternoon of singing and dancing our residents enjoyed discussing the performance over tea and cake and looked back on their memories of each song. We look forward to welcoming Dark Moon back again in the future.
