Activities at Brampton View Care Home
Activities are the cornerstone of a wholesome home experience, and our Activities Coordinators are always putting their creative minds to the test by organising new and exciting social events for residents to partake in. Of course, we take into account the likes and dislikes of those we support, so if someone doesn’t feel like trying something new, there will always be something on offer to reflect their personal interests. For the people who may just prefer some peace and quiet instead, we also offer one-to-one time that can be enjoyed with a nice cup of coffee or just a simple chat – whatever they desire.
Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies

You're Never to Old to Learn
In preparation for Chinese New Year we spent some time this morning looking at the Chinese alphabet and attempted to learn to write our own names in Chinese.
We also learnt some common phrases like hello is Ni Hao, I love you is woaini and most importantly where is the pub is jiuba zainali! We are fully prepared for a trip to china now and are looking forward to our Chinese food tasting tomorrow afternoon.
Dynamic Duo Delight
Yesterday we were joined by Lesley Ann Vocalist Entertainer and Katie Rose Vocalist for an afternoon of singing and even some dancing!
The ladies never disappoint with their sparkly outfits which is usually how they are described by residents around the home.
They sang a medley of songs and we couldn’t resident getting up and joining in with them! Unfortunately we didn’t have the sparkly outfits to match but theirs always next time. We had a wonderful afternoon and all left with smiles on our faces, asking when the ladies would be returning to us!
Four-legged Friends
As well as our PAT dog visits we also receive visits from staff and families with their furry friends!
Rosie one of our nurses brought her dog Lily in to meet some of the residents. Gillian was absolutely amazed by Lilly’s hair and didn’t want her to leave. Rosie spent time telling the residents about how to care for Lily and her long hair and residents shared memories of their pets.
Thank you to Rosie and we certainly hope to see Lily again soon!
Northampton Parkinson’s Fundraiser
Yesterday we were joined by the fabulous Northampton Sings for an afternoon of live music and cheese & wine!! What more could we ask for on a Sunday afternoon.
Northampton Sings are a local choir who are currently fundraising for Northampton Parkinson’s People charity. We had a great afternoon with them and have already had requests to get them booked back in as soon as possible! Thank you for visiting us.
Rise Life Olympics
Today we were joined by Janja and Julia from Rise Life Rugby, Northampton & Coventry who treated us to games of hockey, tennis and an Olympic themed quiz.
