Activities at Beeston View Memory Lane Community
Activities are an integral part of life at our care home. We want to ensure that the people we support have as much fun as possible during their time with us, so it’s important that our activities programme is created with the interests of residents in mind. Our skilled Activities Coordinators bring a certain uniqueness to the home that can’t be found anywhere else, and which is reflected in the activities they organise.
Luisa Painemilla
Hi there, I'm Luisa, Activities Co-ordinator at Iddenshall Hall.
I have worked with the elderly over 8 years and also for fifteen years in the social field as an Activities Coordinator for different social groups in three countries. I have a Degree in Social Integration, a Certificate in Theatrical Psychology and a Music Therapy certificate. In the past I have worked for local authorities and in a cerebral palsy home.
My work is very rewarding and it is a pleasure planning events and activities each month. I enjoy interacting with Residents and learning about their interests, preferences and experiences.

Life at Beeston View Memory Lane Community
Christmas Time at Beeston View
We have had a lovely festive season at Beeston View this year and staff have enjoyed dressing up to entertain residents. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from all of us at Beeston View!
Santa Comes to Town
We had our regular visit from Santa over Christmas; he came and made sure that all residents at Beeston View had a present and a card for Christmas. He was full of festive cheer and we were thrilled to see him, as always. Santa’s reward for his visit was plenty of hugs, kisses and handshakes from very happy and grateful residents.
Pimp My Zimmer Frame
We have spent time recently pimping up our zimmer frames. We decided to brighten ours up and personalise them for each resident.
Starting Christmas Early
We took a trip to see some reindeer recently; we wanted to get in and see them before the seasonal rush started and they were too busy.
We had a lovely lunch, sat outside in the sunshine, and then had a private viewing of the reindeer, where residents had a chance to get up close and personal with Godzilla, Millie and their friends.
We were able to ask questions about them and take some lovely pictures. It was a great way to spend a few hours out and about.
Out & About
We took a trip out to buy activity supplies and took along a resident to give us a hand. John loved being out with us and helping with the shopping; he particularly enjoyed looking at all the gardening equipment. John helped pack the bags and pushed the trolley for us.
Tarporley Methodist Chapel
We took some residents to Tarporley for a walk around this week and we paid a visit to the Methodist Chapel there. It has recently been refurbished and we were invited inside by the Vicar and his wife for a look around. It was decorated ready for a wedding, so there were flowers and ribbons on the staircases inside. We were able to sit down and enjoy the peacefulness of the chapel for a while, but then we were treated to a serenade by a lovely young man who played some tunes for us. It was a lovely way to spend some time on a rainy afternoon.
Upcoming events
April
We are looking forward to a 'cracking' month during April. We hope you are able to join us - all welcome.
