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
Easter Cake Competition
Barchester is has been holding a competition for the most creative and imaginative Easter cakes made by residents.
As a group we discussed how we would like to decorate our cake and we are definitely pleased with the outcome! The session provided opportunities for residents to express their creativity and reminisce about their own Easter traditions with their families and friends.
St. Patrick’s Day Celebrations
Here at the Oxford Beaumont we fully embraced the Irish culture by learning about the history of St. Patrick, listening to traditional music, dressing in green and of course drinking some Irish cream!
We were also joined by Reverend Glynis and Janet for a St. Patrick’s Day church service in the afternoon which included hymns for residents to sing along to as well as listening to tales and myths of the Saint!
Meeting Our Neighbours
We welcomed our lovely neighbours on Boars Hill into our home by hosting a coffee morning for them and our residents to enjoy. It was a fantastic turn out and was great to see so many of the residents engaging with our neighbours sharing stories and local history! Our hospitality team provided a delicious spread of cakes and sweet treats which were all highly complemented by everyone! We hope to be able to host again in the near future!
Sharing the Love!
This Valentine’s Day residents, staff and loved ones came together to share stories, decorate (and eat!) valentine inspired biscuits and to relax with some well-deserved pampering by our wonderful beautician, Charlie!
Charlie offers a range of beauty treatments including hand massages and manicures which are always popular choices among the residents at Oxford Beaumont!
Charlie also spends time getting to know each resident and always brightens up our day!
First stages of the Garden Project
Here at the Oxford Beaumont we have some big plans pending for our beautiful gardens!
Our gardening team having been working incredibly hard planning new plots for the grounds and putting the plans into reality!
Many of the residents were very keen to support the project so we decided to start a gardening club. Our first session involved planting Sweet Pea seeds – we can’t wait to see how they grow and eventually be planted out in the garden!
Next Stop Please!
Residents enjoyed a trip to the Oxford Bus and Morris Motors Museum. The morning was spent walking around the museum, looking at the fantastic bus and car collection which consisted of an array of transport from the last 130 years. The trip prompted conversations and memories among the residents about travelling round town and to school, one resident said ‘it was great to see the vintage vehicles and photos of the different ways we used to travel in Oxfordshire.’
