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
Creative writing.
Residents from the Creative Writing group at Chorleywood Beaumont wrote beautiful poems yesterday afternoon .
The group came up with so many creative ideas and the words started to flow in an initial draft.
George, one of our residents and group member said: “I have never written a poem before, although I love poetry and I am an avid reader. This challenge brought up a creative side of me that I did not expect.
We have many book lovers living here and Creative Writing and The Book Club are very popular.
Residents are encouraged to read out loud, discuss, debate and express their creativity. This is a great example of how there is no limits to learn, discover and cultivate new passions. We are so proud to be able to support residents to continue enjoying their interests and hobbies.
