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.

Life at Chorleywood Beaumont Care Home
Rowan Tree
Today we received the 6ft Rowan tree we are planting for two very important events! The first is a in memory to Willow who was our pet therapy dog at Chorleywood. Willow would come to the door after her walk and wait to be let in, she would wander up to the first floor saying good morning to residents as she headed to see her regular clients. Willow would bring so much comfort to residents and the occasional staff member who loved to see her walk through orchid walk. The second reason for planting the Rowan tree is part of the queens green canopy scheme celebrating the queens jubilee. A wonderful scheme a focus on planting sustainably, encourage planting of trees to create a legacy in honour of The Queen’s leadership of the Nation, which will benefit future generations.

Residents and staff members at Chorleywood Beaumont care home in Chorleywood enjoyed an afternoon of grins with a fabulous performance that took place at the home. Year one to six students from Russel School, led by their music teacher Christine Deeley, donned Easter Bonnets and performed a selection of classic hits including Beatle songs and a fantastic rendition of “When the Saints go Marching in.”
