Activities at Stamford Bridge Beaumont Care Home

We enjoyed a walk in the sunshine over to our local coffee shop, No.10 Bistro.

No.10 is one of the residents favourite places to go for a morning cappuccino and a tea cake, we are so lucky to have such a lovely cafe in the village with welcoming staff.

This week, the residents chose tulips for this weeks Bloom of choice, accompanied by a variety of different flowers to display around the home. The colour combinations were carefully arranged, and the smell of the fresh flowers accompanied by the sun shining is making everybody extremely excited for summer!

Did you know that fresh flowers generate happiness? Arranging flowers, and even just simply being around them and seeing them, can lift our spirits and increase happy emotions!

Our residents had a fun filled morning participating in a chair exercise class from Oomph Wellness.

During the session, we had lots of fun and sang along to the songs and everybody was left feeling refreshed and energised to start the day.

Chair exercises are part of our weekly activities programme and are an excellent way to build strength and improve flexibility without putting too much strain on your body.

Our residents had a delightful time during a special virtual sensory storytelling event, led by Art Historian Jon Sleigh from the Historic Royal Palaces.

Jon took us on a journey to discover some of the more unusual and unexpected inhabitants of the palaces and the Tower of London, sharing fascinating stories about the pets at the palaces.

Whilst enjoying the virtual experience, our residents were treated to hot beverages, delicious biscuits, berries and cakes.

It was a truly lovely time for all.

What a fantastic bank holiday weekend we have had here at Stamford Bridge Beaumont, celebrating the coronation of King Charles III.

On Saturday, the residents watched the coronation and enjoyed a tea party. All of the decorations the residents had been busy making with help from the Activities team, and the delicious food from our talented chefs, all came together and gave the residents a fantastic day of celebrations as we welcomed the new King of our country.

And on Monday, we had a wonderful party, where all of our residents, visitors, staff and people from our community came together to celebrate. We had bagpipes, which had an astounding effect on everybody as they played. We enjoyed an afternoon tea, an ice cream from the ice cream van, and some people even enjoyed a pimms with fruit also! Everybody sang, danced and laughed and we had a truly incredible party to finish off the celebrations.

Coronation preparations are in full swing here at Stamford Bridge Beaumont! 

Residents have been helping Wendy, our Activity Coordinator today with decorating the home ready for our big celebrations this bank holiday weekend.

We have been putting up bunting around the home, decorating tables, creating our own flag stands and we even have our very own cardboard cut out (very much real life) of King Charles.

Resident, Alice has also been busy knitting some soldiers in preparing for the celebrations this weekend, and what a fantastic job she has done. Don’t they look great!
