Celebrating life at Barchester

What a truly fantastic afternoon at Iris Court..

To celebrate this Christmas staff, residents and families performed for us our very own Peter Pan Panto!.

Our home was filled with laughter, joy, and Christmas magic.
A huge thank you to everyone who took part and helped make the afternoon so wonderful.

To round off a lovely November, our residents enjoyed a wonderful flower arranging activity. Using beautiful seasonal flowers and recycled materials from around the home as creative plant pots, everyone had the chance to design something personal and unique.

The activity brought a great deal of joy and relaxation to our residents. Flower arranging is not only visually uplifting but also deeply therapeutic, helping to reduce stress, support fine motor skills, and inspire creativity. It also encouraged conversation, shared memories, and moments of calm—enhancing emotional well-being and strengthening social connections within our home.

Our residents were so proud of their creations, and their handmade floral displays have added a cheerful touch to their rooms as we head into the festive season.

Arts and creativity play a truly special role here at Epsom Beaumont. Our recent arts session was a wonderful opportunity for residents to express themselves, explore their imagination, and enjoy a calming and purposeful activity together.

Engaging in the arts not only sparks creativity but also provides important therapeutic benefits to our residents. These sessions help improve hand–eye coordination, support fine motor skills, boost confidence, and encourage gentle cognitive stimulation. They also create moments of joy, conversation, and connection - enhancing our residents’ emotional well-being and bringing a warm sense of achievement.

We are incredibly proud of the beautiful artwork our residents produced, and we look forward to many more creative sessions ahead.

At Epsom Beaumont Care Home, we love to support our residents in taking part in real-life, meaningful tasks that help maintain independence and stimulate cognitive abilities. Our residents enjoyed a hands-on activity: making their own sandwiches for tea.

They had fun choosing their favourite toppings, preparing the ingredients, and using their coordination to put together a delicious tea of their choice. Activities like this not only promote decision-making and creativity, but also help strengthen fine motor skills, encourage independence, and boost confidence. Most importantly, it sparked lovely conversations and a sense of achievement among our residents.

We are proud to provide opportunities that empower residents through everyday tasks while bringing joy and purpose to their day.

It was glitzy tops all round at Claremont Parkway on Christmas Jumper Day.

Our residents and colleagues were encouraged to dress to impress in their most festive jumpers to add a little sparkle to the day. 

General Manager Joanna's bright red patent boots really stole the show!

We were delighted to welcome pupils from St Joseph’s School, Nympsfield to our home for a truly heart-warming festive visit. The children filled our home with the joyful sounds of Christmas as they sang a wonderful selection of carols and seasonal songs creating a magical atmosphere for everyone to enjoy.

Several of the pupils performed solo pieces and their confidence and beautiful voices impressed residents and staff alike. It was a special moment to see our residents smiling, clapping along, and reminiscing as the familiar melodies brought back cherished memories of Christmases past. The warmth and enthusiasm of the children brightened what was otherwise a cold December day, spreading happiness throughout the home.

We are extremely grateful to St Joseph’s School for bringing such joy into our home. Events like these perfectly reflect the sense of community, togetherness, and festive spirit that we value so highly at Moreton Hill Care Home.
