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
Enjoying Lunch & Friendship
Mealtimes are a perfect opportunity to socialise. We had pea & mint soup followed by a choice of either Cottage Pie or Fisherman’s Pie. For dessert it was delicious lime drizzle cake with vanilla ice cream or fruit. All prepared by our wonderful kitchen team.
'Burns' Celebrations
Burns was celebrated with poetry readings, listening to beautiful poems. We then headed into the dining room for a delicious Scottish spread of Haggis 'neeps & tatties' cooked by our talented kitchen team. Then relaxing in the lounge for a musical afternoon of traditional Scottish music.
Seated Exercise Sessions
Thank you to James for an enjoyable & active seated exercise session. We always look forward to his visits plus we worked off enough calories to enjoy a delicious 3 course lunch!
Making our Christmas Table Decorations
Table decorations were made by us, tables are set, presents have been distributed & a glass of sherry or mulled wine has been drunk while we wait to have our lovely Christmas Dinner. Happy Christmas one and all!
Festive Performances
We enjoyed an afternoons entertainment with David dancing and sing-alongs to a variety of music from the 1940's to the 1960's. We needed a drink after all the singing & are looking forward to seeing David again in February 2022.
Jigsaw Club
Simple pleasures in life are important to continue & can be all the more enjoyable when shared with friends. We completed a lovely winter scene jigsaw. Later we spoke to our friends about it over lunch and suggested they come along and join our 'jigsaw club' next time.
