Activities at Brampton View Care Home

Resident were thrilled to have Gemini Fashion pop up shop visit the home. They arrived with an abundance of clothing rails of all different fashions, items with an array of colour. They purchased a number of items and showed off their new items to each other. It was lovely that some family members also came along for a browse with their loved ones, helping them to look through the collection and choosing items.

For many care home residents, physical challenges can make trips to local shops a difficult task, to solve this and bringing a curated selection of clothing, nightwear, and accessories directly to their homes, ensured Residents can browse, shop, and enjoy a boutique-like experience without stepping outside.

Here at Brampton View we understand that shopping is more than just a necessity—it is also a chance to connect with others. Having the shop in the home created a lively atmosphere, encourages residents to socialise, share opinions, and enjoy the shopping experience together. This provides a sense of community while offering a fun and interactive way to spend the morning.

Supporting residents to enjoy shopping, and exploring new communities is a key aspect of the weekly activities calendar and our wider life enrichment program.

Residents were delighted to receive the red roses which were unexpected and touched our hearts.
