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
Life at Brampton View Care Home
Pet Therapy with Bertie
Our residents at the home were so happy to have Colin and Bertie the dog visit to bring some well received pet therapy. There was lots of time to spend with Bertie and he was certainly spoiled with the petting he received from the delighted residents, his tail did not stop wagging!!
Residents at Brampton View love the animal therapy sessions that our dedicated Activities Team organise. As one of the foundations of our Life Enrichment program, we know that animal therapy can help reduce blood pressure and improve overall cardiovascular health.

Residents enjoy Father and Son Duo Magical Moments
It was an afternoon of fun and laughter for the residents here at Brampton View. Alex and George are a son and father duo act for AG Magicians who had visited the home for the first time. There was some silliness and involvement from the residents with a few "Weetabix" prompts in the performance.
Residents joined in on the fun adorning silly hats and getting involved with the "Weetabix" prompts! Residents stated that the afternoon was fun and nice to have the magic show in the home.
General Manager Mo Masedi stated "Its not everyday you have a father and son duo in the home performing for the residents, it was nice to see the residents getting involved in the moment and have some laughter"
At Brampton View that's what we like to do - create memories, and ensure our residents are leading full enriched lives.

Residents get Hearing Health Check
Residents were delighted to have the team from #specsavers Audiology at the home for a informative afternoon focused on the health of our hearing and looking after your ears.
Aadil and Mabil from the audiology department provided an engaging talk which was not only informative but the crucial role our ears play in our overall well-being, particularly as we age, highlighting the often-overlooked consequences of hearing loss, such as feelings of isolation, disengagement, embarrassment, and the inability to participate in important discussions.
Residents were very grateful for the session, finding it beneficial with a deeper understanding of the importance of maintaining hearing health.
Residents get Crafty
Its always a big hit in the home to have a cheese, wine and quiz afternoon. Residents come from all communities to join in, socialise and meet their friends, there is always a sense of fun and competition with the quiz which challenges the mind.
The residents enjoy the tasting of cheese and especially the new cheeses that we can bring into the home and mentioned "the cheese are all lovely" "very good really enjoyed the afternoon" & "lovely tasty cheese".
These events are also open to family and friends or those living in the wider community that are isolated and would enjoy the company. All events and activities in the home are free to attend.
Cheese & Wine Quiz Afternoon
Cheese, Wine and Quiz Afternoon is always a big hit in the home. There was a variety of cheese to try either for the first time or for those residents who have lived in the home a long time, many favourite cheeses was on offer. There was time to have a few samples of wine before the quiz started, with the competitor's and quizzers at the ready. All had a fun filled afternoon.
