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
Elvis was in the Building!
Elvis was spotted in his Blue Suede Shoes singing for residents and staff at Edgbaston Beaumont.
Football Fanatic
Albion rolled out the red carpet for one of The Hawthorns’. Mary Evans celebrated her 103rd birthday by returning to her old stomping ground more than 40 years after purchasing Box Seven in the old Rainbow Stand. Baggies legends Brendon Batson, Ally Robertson and Garry Thompson were on hand to welcome the great-grandmother to The Hawthorns for the first time since the early 1990s. Mary was delighted to see her old Albion favourites, even if they have changed a little over the years.
Art Class
Our art classes are held weekly and is run by Colin. Here has been coming to the homes for 11 years now and residents love his sessions.
Karaoke Session
Residents are always keen to do a bit of karaoke. It's always lots of fun and puts a smile on everyone's face.
Garden Party
Our General Manager was approached by the Royal Bank of Scotland and was asked if the bank could send a team of staff members to the home to chat and engage with residents. After a discussion, we agreed to hold an ‘Alfresco Lunch ‘ in the gardens of Edgbaston Beaumont, resulting in a garden party.
The event was a great success and residents, friends, family and staff all enjoyed the day.
Live Entertainment
Residents had lots of fun listening to live entertainment. We're always keen to get performers in, as residents love them!
