Activities at Chorleywood Beaumont Care Home
Our Activities Coordinators are constantly striving to mentally and physically stimulate those we support by organising group and individual activities for anyone and everyone to participate in. There are regular weekly outings in the minibus to nearby places of interest including the local theatre and Cathedral's as well as visits from PAT dogs, visiting zoos, musicians and entertainers. We also host evenings such as our Pizza & Quiz Night that we encourage relatives to come to. Activities are one of the most important aspects of a care home, so it is essential that our team are dedicated to ensuring that residents are entertained, and that life at Chorleywood Beaumont Care Community is fun and active.

A bird in the hand
Residents at Chorleywood Beaumont were delighted to welcome back the beautiful budgies with the team from Performing Pets.
We were lucky to have 9 beautiful budgies come to see us, with their colourful feathers and lots of chirpy chat!
They were a big hit with everyone, brining back many childhood memories and conversations of our own pets.
The experience brought happiness and smiles, and was truly enjoyed by all.

The Lord-Lieutenant told stories about a recent engagement he attended with King Charles III in Stevenage and the 700 plus invites he receives a year.
The Children from Russel School performed a concert of Christmas songs and Carols.
A wonderful day was had by all.
Baking up a storm.
Today residents gathered together to cook up a storm as Barchester is holding a cake baking competition, so of course our residents wanted to enter.
We weighed out all the ingredients and the residents got to work. It bought back many memories of making Christmas cakes over the years, the stories were so warming and as usual we had lots of laughs along the way whilst listening to our favourite Christmas songs.
When the ingredients were being mixed together, the smell of 'Christmas' filled the room and we were all getting very excited to get it in the oven.
It turned out amazing and today we fed the cake some brandy as a thank you!
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Our residents spent a lovely afternoon decorating the home with Christmas trees and lights and getting our home ready for our countdown to Christmas festivities.
Head of Housekeeping Mira, with her team worked their magic with Residents and transformed Chorleywood Beaumont to a Christmas wonderland.
Our resident Flora said "It really feels like Christmas once the tree goes up. Now we just have to worry about the mince pies and sherry!".
