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
Ladies that Lunch
We held 'Ladies that Lunch' today at Edgbaston Beaumont. Our residents love coming together in our beautiful dining room for a delicious meal and a chance to socialise. On today’s Menu we had Pea and mint soup, followed by a choice of either Cottage pie or Fisherman’s Pie. For dessert we had a lime drizzle sponge cake with vanilla ice cream. All prepared by our wonderful kitchen team. It was a fantastic start to a new week.
Playing the Piano
We wanted to share this beautiful story of one of our residents Una playing the piano.
Una began playing at the age of 5 and went on to playing the organ at the church where her parents were members of the choir. As a young woman she taught music and singing and loves sharing her joy with others.
Now at Edgbaston, Una wants to continue with this. Our residents love coming together and listening to her play. Thank you Una for sharing your love of music with us.
A Pamper for All
Our residents look forward to their weekly pamper with Elaine, our Hairdresser in our beautiful salon overlooking the gardens. They have the opportunity to relax whilst Elaine washes, cuts and styles their hair.
Everyone enjoys this time as it’s a chance to socialise and unwind whilst feeling pampered. I think you will agree the results look absolutely beautiful!
Thank you Elaine for making our residents look and feel their very best.
Keep Calm and Keep Fit
Here at Edgbaston we love to start our mornings with some gentle exercise.Our wonderful fitness instructor Naomi joined us and guided us through a gentle session to our favourite songs from the 50s.
Everyone loved getting involved and focused on their strength and mobility whilst singing along to the music too. It was the perfect session for all abilities.
Thank you Naomi for getting our Thursday off to the best start.
