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
Halloween Party Preparation
During today’s craft session with our residents, we enjoyed making bright 'orange' pumpkin bunting.
The residents got to plan each plate design and work out the number we will need for each length of bunting. These will be used to decorate various areas around the home during next weeks Halloween party!
Virtual Cruise with Unilever
On Thursday 14th October our residents were 'all aboard' to watch a live virtual experience with our partners at Unilever.
A cooking demonstration with development chef Phil Hawkins and Lisa Richards letting us know the Inspiration from the different destinations.
The residents and staff enjoyed the wonderful food prepared for them by our hospitality team to go with the talk plus mocktails which they all thoroughly enjoyed!
Harvest Festival Church Service
The Residents had a wonderful church service by Rev Glynnis Beckett all about harvest on a lovely sunny Sunday afternoon.
We sang beautiful hymns and discussed about what harvest means to us.
Also we received gifts of apples and pears locally which will be used for cooking by the chef and enjoyed by the residents.
To infinity and beyond!
Throughout this week, there has been space themed activities for the residents, as it was world space week from the 4th-10th. Art and craft workshop creating solar system mobile, facts about the man on the moon landing plus watching the iconic film clip that was televised in 1969 and reminiscing about how and where the residents watched it.
We did a space quiz to test our knowledge. Also we have engaged the residents with baking star shape ginger shortbreads, which tasted delightful with a cuppa on the chit chat club!
World Animal Day Fun
World Animal Day is an international day of action for animal rights and welfare celebrated annually on October 4, the feast day of Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals. Our residents had a fabulous time during the mornings arts & craft session, going 'wild' on their choices of bold colours and different materials to make animal themed masks.
Paula's 80s Party
Today our residents and staff gathered together to say goodbye to Paula our head of activities. With an 80’s themed party we all enjoyed reminiscing on the decade, with photos and news from back in the day. Residents got to try retro sweets from popping candy to space discs plus loads of other delicious snacks.
We’d all like to wish Paula all the best for the new job and good luck for the future thanks for all your dedication, activity fun and support.
