Our weekly Scrabble Club is always a hit with residents coming together to socialize, solve logical problem in each turn of play, develop concentration, and have an enjoyable time.

We have several residents who take pleasure in playing  the game and find it a relaxing past time as well as making new friends along the way.

If you would like to come along and join in the fun please contact oxfordbeaumont.activities@barchester.com  for more information.

We have been busy at Oxford Beaumont Community in preparation for our Valentine’s Day, making cards for our loved ones. Residents enjoyed using a variety of materials to make their own personalised cards showing their creative skills.

Friday February 14th will be fun filled day at Oxford Beaumont Community with musical  entertainment , love themed activities and a variety of delicious dishes on the menu which will be prepared by Chef and his team.

Visitors are welcome to come along at 2pm  on February 14th for an hours entertainment by the very popular  Bill James, followed by refreshments and home- made valentine themed cup –cakes.

A fabulous evening was had by all when we arranged an event to celebrate the life and poetry of Robert Burns. We were very privileged to have our guest Harry Gow playing the traditional bagpipes to our residents and guests in his Scottish attire. Harry explained about the tradition and the meaning behind the annual event.

Chef prepared a Scottish supper including haggis, neeps and tatties. The Selkirk Grace was said by our Independent living Ambassador as well as the toasting of the haggis. Drams of whiskey were of course part of the refreshments and some dancing took place too. The event was especially memorable to one of our Scottish residents and her family who attended the event.

We would like to thank everyone who joined us and enjoyed another successful event.

Staying fit and active is very important to the residents at Oxford Beaumont. The activity staff run regular exercise sessions to help the residents to stay fit and mobile. Currently Barchester are working with the specialist activity provider Oomph, who have been providing training and initiatives to help activity staff to facilitate engaging and appropriate fitness sessions aimed especially at the elderly.

The residents at Oxford Beaumont love the sessions and always have some fun in the process.

Here at Oxford Beaumont we always like to make the residents feel special, but even more so on their birthdays, this week resident Annette celebrated her special day with family, residents and staff. She received lots of presents and flowers and top it off our Head Chef made a delicious birthday cake. Annette had a lovely day.

What a lovely surprise for all the staff and residents when we had a visit from this famous family. Kevin came to see how our Christmas preparations were coming along and introduce his family Katie, Jasper, Chantenay and baby who were more than happy to be involved in activities and spend quality time with residents and staff in our beautiful home.

They have decided they love Oxford Beaumont so much they are going to stay for a while so you can look forward to seeing all of their adventures.
