Exercise is an important and fun activity; residents, staff and relatives enjoyed some slow yoga recently, which got everyone stretching in their chairs.

Activities at Epsom Beaumont
At Epsom Beaumont, the daily activities always aim to be enjoyable for all. Our Activities Coordinator is constantly working to mentally and physically stimulate each resident and ensuring that our programme is define moulded to the wants and needs of those we support. We host weekly outings to many local coffee shops, and also some bigger trips to Brighton and the Brooklands Museum. Our outings tend to be a new and exciting experience for residents, but are sometimes repeated for those who could not make the trip the first time. The activity schedule changes weekly, but there are some regularities, such as our crossword and bar nights, where families are invited to join their loved ones for a social evening. Activities are one of the most important aspects of a care home and we are proud to say we have a dedicated Activities Coordinator who is supported by all of the care team to really make it successful. We have received excellent feedback from residents and relatives, which only makes our bond with them stronger.

Staff and residents at Epsom Beaumont spent time celebrating International Women’s Day. It was nice to see discussions about this special occurrence, which saw a huge number of residents, relatives and staff play a purposeful part in pressing for gender parity, which is this year’s theme. A lot was discussed on how things have changed for women in the world.
