Activities at Oxford Beaumont Care Community
Our Activities Coordinators are committed to organising a mix of activities and events that cater to all tastes, which includes minibus outings to nearby places of interest and visits from animal trusts, local school choirs, musicians and entertainers. We also undertake one-to-one activities for residents who are unable to participate in group sessions, and encourage loved ones to join in whenever they can.

Life at Oxford Beaumont Care Community
Eid Celebrations
Residents, staff and loved ones joined together to celebrate Eid al-Fitr, meaning the feast of the breaking of the fast and traditionally begins the day after the sighting of the new crescent moon which marks the end of Ramadan and the start of the month of Shawwal, the tennth month of the Islamic Hijri calandar.
A big THANK YOU to Nadia and Bibi for arrangning the event and kindly preparing all the delicious food! It was a great afternoon and was lovely to have been joined by so many.
60th Wedding Anniversary Celebrations!
Two residents at Oxford Beaumont Care Community were joined by peers and staff to share the celebrations. The couple were prepared an extra special breakfast by our fantastic hospitality team and deliered to their door!
The home also gifted the pair with a beautiful bouquet of flowers, chocolates and cards. They also received a special anniversary card from the king and queen to top off their day!
Trip the the local farm!
We recently took a trip to a local farm in time for the lambing season. It was a fantastic experience to be able to get so close to the newborns and admire their cuteness – whilst resisting the temptation of sneaking one back to the home with us!
There were also lots of other mischievous livestock roaming around the farm for us to meet!
First Gardening Club of the Year!
With spring in the air our gardens are beginning to look a lot brighter with flowers starting to bloom! One of our keen gardeners within the community, kindly prepared some freshly cut flowers from our own gardens for residents to use in the Gardening Club.
We had a varied range of flowers to look at, smell and talk about as residents arranged them in vases to display on the tables in the dining room.
World Book Day!
To celebrate World Book Day, we discussed and reminisced about our favourite books, authors and why we like to read.
Staff at Oxford Beaumont also took on the theme, 101 Dalmatians! If you happened to be visiting that day, you may have noticed some spotty puppies running around, hiding from Cruella!
Charity Walk
Some of our team, families and Bella (our four-legged friend), had a fun-filled morning taking part in Sobell House’s annual charity walk around the beautiful grounds of Blenheim Palace.
All funds raised went towards supporting our local hospice and the incredible work they do!
It was a fantastic morning and the sun was shining as we absorbed the stunning views along the route.
