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
Sports Day Success
In honour of the current Olympics in Paris Oxford Beaumont Care Community decided to host their very own Olympics.
The morning consisted of resident games which included shooting, basketball and Frisbee! After totalling up the scores from each event the gold medal was awarded to 98 year old Marjorie!
Following the residents lead, staff took to the field for volleyball and football matches. Residents and loved ones joined to spectate and cheer them all on!
After a fun and active day the hospitality team had prepared an evening tea party for everyone to enjoy in the garden.
It was a brilliant day and great to see so many involved. One resident said she would like there to be regular staff games for them to watch!
A Wholesome Trip Out…
Taking full advantage of the beautiful summer’s day, we headed out to the Island Farm Donkey Sanctuary near Wallingford to meet some four-legged friends!
The sanctuary is home to over 120 donkeys so there were plenty of them to meet! After some petting and a walk around the farm everyone stopped to enjoy a refreshing drink and an ice-cream at the café.
It was a lovely morning out and we hope the good weather continues for more outdoor trips!
Home Administrator of the Year Recognition
A HUGE congratulations to our lovely Administrator, Paulina who was awarded the ‘Home Administrator of the Year’ for the division!
Paulina was recognised and nominated for the award by colleagues, residents, families and loved ones from the Oxford Beaumont and the community in the 2024 Barchester Care Awards.
To commemorate this incredible achievement staff and residents gathered in the lounge to celebrate with cakes, donuts and an old fashioned sing-along!
Well done Paulina! We are all so grateful for everything you do for our community.
A Wish Come True
At Oxford Beaumont we encourage residents to place wishes on our wishing tree; these could be outings that residents want, special experiences or VIP guests.
One recent wish came true for some residents with a trip to Shillingford Bridge Hotel for High Tea, we had a beautiful view of the riverside, the sun was shining and we had great company.
We enjoyed a wide selection of sandwiches, cakes and delicious scones to dine over with a pot of tea and conversations centred around memories of special meals in life.
The residents said it was a lovely afternoon especially as their wish had come true!
Get Barchester Moving Week
This week has been all about promoting fun ways to exercise for all our residents, staff and visitors as well as raising funds for our Barchester Charitable Foundation. We provided a wide range of activity throughout the week including an exercise bike, badminton, volleyball, football, arm weights, music and movement and more!
It was great to see so many getting involved and getting active! We also hosted a delicious BBQ for everyone in our community which was followed by a Mr. Whippy ice-cream van and the popular singer Tristan Pate, who entertained us throughout the afternoon with his wide range of sing-along tunes as well as taking requests!
Visiting Oxford
Here at Oxford Beaumont we are so fortunate to be just a short drive away from the historical unversity city that of course we had to take of advantage of this and take a trip in our mini bus to the beautiful Christchurch Gardens and Botanic Garden. Residents and staff enjoyed taking in the scenery whilst eating ice-creams! Some of the residents had connections to the university and gardens and reminisced about past visits there and expressed how wonderful it was to be back!
