Activities at Brampton View Care Home

The residents and staff at Brampton View Care Home in Northampton were delighted in welcoming local school students from Moulton School and Science College, Northampton, to their home for a magical morning of Christmas carols. The residents and staff were immersed in the joy of Christmas and all that it has to offer.

Residents and staff were excited to have the students from Moulton School in their home for the very first time. There was only standing room left in the lounge as residents and staff packed the room, ensuring they could see the students and listen to the beautiful renditions of traditional Christmas carols which echoed throughout the home.  

Katie Tuck, music subject leader said  " It has been a wonderful opportunity for the students and a great pleasure to meet so many residents and start the festive cheer for Brampton View.”

The students and teachers were treated to a delicious homemade lunch from our hospitality team and said “it was the best homemade fish and chips they had eaten” and thanked the home for the delightful morning and warm welcome they received.

General Manager, Mo Masedi said, “Our residents and guests had a wonderful day singing along with the wonderful choir. We do our best to provide a wide range of activities and entertainment at Brampton View Care Home as part of the lifestyle enrichment programme for residents, and this was one was one of our favourites.”

Our varied life enrichment programme keeps residents active, and provides a daily choice of engaging physical, mental and spiritual activities tailored to residents’ interests and abilities.

At Brampton View our residents enjoy a movie afternoon with delicious popcorn, chocolate and of course hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows. Edwards Scissorhands classic movie went down a treat as the selected movie.

At Brampton View Care home we support our residents to continue with the hobbies they enjoy. Through sharing the cinema experience residents can enjoy the social aspect of their favourite movies and plan for the next cinema afternoon.

Our Residents and staff were once again treated to the lovely Lesley Ann Vocalist Entertainer. Beautifully dressed in her glitzy dress and giving us all a high energy performance she is always a hit here at Brampton View Care Home.

Lesley is so enthusiastic and engages with each individual resident, encouraging clapping of hands, joining in with the singing with music that caters to generation and ending with traditional Christmas songs. The residents showed their appreciation through singing along, stamping feet, tapping legs and singing the lyrics to the well-known songs.

One of the cornerstones of our life enrichment program is live musical entertainment. Resident involvement in choosing genres along with feedback after each performance means that we are able to constantly improve our activities calendar.

Our residents enjoy the taking part of opening the calendar each day and finding the prize behind it.

The tradition of the opening the little doors on a Christmas Advent Calendar is one of the most loved activities on the countdown to Christmas Day and often given as a gift. Originally this countdown was marked by lighting candles or chalk numbers and soon followed by wooden calendars, then printed calendars with small pictures and now the most loved chocolate treats.

Traditional & cultural celebrations and events are just some of the ways that we ensure the residents at Brampton View Care home remain connected, provides understanding, inclusion and enjoyment, which promotes happiness.

Our residents enjoyed an afternoon of creative and expressional painting whilst the winter sun shone through from the garden.

Did you know that being creative can be helpful in gaining an insight to how someone living with dementia may be feeling? Having stimulating group time may prompt communication, provides social benefits and a better feeling of community.

Our Activities Team is dedicated to ensuring that we organise meaningful events that encourage and stimulate our residents.
