Activities at Brampton View Care Home

We have spent the morning accompanied by our wonderful families and even had a visit from Father Christmas and his head elf to deliver presents to everyone. The smiles speak for themselves. Who knew Father Christmas had such a resemblance to our chef!

Christmas lunch has been eaten and we are now well and truly ready for an afternoon snooze. We have enjoyed traditional turkey and Christmas pudding with all home-made trimmings. One resident commented it was the best lunch she has had for a long time.

Huge thank you to everyone who has wished us all a merry Christmas. We hope you all have a wonderful day and we look forward to seeing more of you over the festive period!

Another big thank you to our incredible staff who have made this Christmas so special for all. We couldn’t do it without you.

What a fabulous afternoon we had yesterday for our Christmas party! We were joined by the wonderful Fiona who entertained us with all the Christmas classics!

The kitchen produced some delicious treats including mini mince pies and brownies and we even had a quick visit from Father Christmas. We spent the afternoon singing away and now we are ready for the big day. Thank you to all who attended.

Today we hosted a private dining experience for residents and family. We welcomed the family into the home to have a Christmas meal with their relatives and spend the afternoon together. The kitchen team served a full Christmas menu for the event and received high praise prior to the big day ahead! If you would like to book a private dining experience then please contact us here at Brampton View.

This week we were treated to a virtual reality experience with a Christmas twist. We were able to experience riding through the snow on a Christmas sleigh with Father Christmas, Reindeers and Christmas Church Services. All these experiences are able to be brought to us with the magic of a virtual reality headset from the comfort of our seats! What will we be able to experience next year?

Our local church from Kingsthorpe parish visited us this week for a carolling church service. We spent the evening singing along to classic carols and listening to the Christmas story and prayers. The minister met the residents who attended and learnt about their lives and the residents commented that it was lovely to have the service brought to them.

Christmas spirits were well and truly raised this week with a visit from the local primary school to sing Christmas carols. After the performance the children handed out flowers to the residents in attendance and we then surprised them with a visit from Father Christmas. The children were then invited to the grotto to see if they had been naughty or nice and received a little gift if they were on the nice list, thankfully they all were! We can't wait for our next visit.
