Celia Palmer
I’m Celia and I’m the Activity coordinator here at Edgbaston Beaumont. I previously worked as an activity coordinator in a hostel and am enjoying the shift into the residential setting. I have an arts background so enjoy painting and drawing in my spare time, which hopefully I can share my love for with the residents here. I also enjoy reading, travel, live music and looking after my cats! And copious amounts of tea.

Life at Edgbaston Beaumont Care Home
Flower Arranging & Pamper Time
Residents have enjoyed flower arranging and have created pretty flower jars and vase arrangements to brighten up the home and their rooms. Morrison’s Edgbaston Community Champion very kindly donated a selection of beautiful fresh flowers. Residents have also enjoyed some pampering in our Café. The activity team created a lovely spa experience with candles, a nail bar, refreshments and relaxing music.
A Musical Tribute
We were all truly blown away when Mini Concerts performed ‘A Spoonful of Sugar – a musical tribute to Dame Julie Andrews’ for our residents this week. Emily entertained us with her amazing voice and sang songs from ’Mary Poppins’ and ‘The Sound of Music’. Residents wore hats for the occasion, clapped and sang along to ‘Do-Re-Mi’, ‘So Long, Farewell’, ‘I Feel Pretty’ and ‘The Lonely Goatherd’ amongst other classics. It was a wonderfully uplifting show.
St Patrick's Day
Our residents enjoyed creating beautiful St Patrick’s themed wreaths and art work in the café. Everyone enjoyed a delicious Irish 3 course meal in our dining room, prepared by our excellent Chef Rosie. We had a selection of dishes available which included traditional Irish Stew, Colcannon and a Bailey’s cheesecake which was an absolute hit with the residents.
Lots of fun and laughter filled the air as we all enjoyed having an Irish Jig and sing along to ‘Belle of Belfast City’, ‘Lord of the Dance’, ‘Molly Malone’ & ‘The Irish Rover’ to name just a few. Residents waved Irish flags, wore hats and shook maracas to the music. Our staff got into the Irish spirit wearing green and everywhere was decorated for the occasion.
Centenary Celebration
We had a very exciting celebration here at Edgbaston... our lovely resident Edna turned 100 years old! Edna celebrated in style with her nearest and dearest in our function room which was decorated so beautifully with an amazing balloon arch, banners and bunting too.
Edna was delighted to be reunited with her family. She even had the opportunity to have a cuddle with her great grandson. Our Hospitality Team worked hard to create a delicious buffet which went down a treat with everyone. Head Chef, Sean, also made a delicious red velvet birthday cake for Edna and her loved ones to enjoy.
Edna had a wonderful day celebrating with her family and staff at Edgbaston. From all of us here we wish you a very Happy Birthday and congratulations on reaching such a milestone.
International Chocolate Cake Day!
With International Chocolate Cake Day approaching on the 27th January, our Head Chef Sean has treated all of our residents to a delicious homemade Chocolate cake.
With a rich chocolate frosting, a selection of black forest fruits on top and finished with a drizzle of dark chocolate it certainly is a moreish treat for us all.
Thank you Sean for spoiling us at the Beaumont!
A morning puzzle!
Here at Edgbaston Beaumont we love to start our days relaxing with a cup of tea whilst challenging ourselves to a puzzle.
Puzzles are not only great fun, they are also a wonderful way of keeping our minds sharp, improving our mood and a perfect way to lower stress levels.
Come and join us at the Beaumont for a morning of challenging fun!
