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.
Sarah Jane James
Hello, I am Sarah, I am the Activity Coordinator and Lead at Brampton View. I truly believe in enriching the lives of others and ensuring the care we provide helps everyone live to their fullest.
What makes us all so special is that every single one of us is different, with our own unique needs – that's what makes us beautifully unique! My passion is to give people the chance to feel connected, empowered, and to have a real sense of purpose. This is especially important for those who might be less able, as fostering those connections and feelings of belonging can make a world of difference. Ultimately, my goal is to create activities that are all about you, bringing happiness and joy right into our home.
When I'm not at Brampton View, my home is a lively hub! I live with my partner, our three wonderful children, three dogs, a cat, a rabbit, and a snake! I adore being out in nature and soaking up family time when I can!
My background has given me valuable experience in supporting people through challenging times. I've worked in rehabilitation, providing dedicated care to an individual with a brain injury in his own home, and also as a communicator guide for an individual living with a brain tumour. In addition to my work here at Brampton View, I'm also a Reiki Practitioner, which I help individuals move forward from past trauma, gain clarity, and build strong self-belief.
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
Life at Brampton View Care Home
Happy Birthday Betty!
This weekend we hosted a surprise 95th Birthday party for Betty. Her family asked for something special to be done to celebrate her birthday. The activities team alongside the kitchen planned an afternoon of party games and a buffet to accompany her personalised dachshund themed cake. Betty was surprised by her fellow residents and all her immediate family for the event. We had an afternoon of party games including pass the parcel, tin can alley and balloon games. We finished the party by enjoying the wonderful birthday cake and buffet the kitchen team had provided for the event
Mandy's Special Birthdya Experience
Mandy has always had a love of Tigers so what more could we do for her 80th Birthday than surprise her with a VIP Tiger experience at Woburn Safari Park. Mandy was able to spend the day visiting all the different animals around the park and then was accompanied by Keeper Helen for a VIP up close tiger experience where she learnt what was required to keep the big cats. Mandy was joined on her day out by Team Leader Lianne & Maintenance Assistant Steve. The trio returned absolutely exhausted after a day of fun and what Mandy called “the most wonderful day” upon return back to the home Mandy was greeted with her Tiger themed Birthday cake which she refused to cut as she loved it so much!
