Activities at Prestbury Beaumont Care Community
Our home is always full of life, and we can thank our wonderful Activities Coordinators for this. Dedication to creating a unique and interesting activities programme is what sets us apart from other homes. We always take into consideration that some people would prefer to pursue their own interests, which is why our team strive to incorporative activities that cater to a wide range of tastes and hobbies. Our trips out are always fun and exciting as well, and residents are guaranteed to return with stories to tell their loved ones!

Life at Prestbury Beaumont Care Community
Pocket Hugs
As part of their arts and crafts session, residents at the home created a ‘pocket hug’ and hand-made cards to send to their loved ones. Being in touch with relatives and friends has always been important for residents and is one of the many ways they have been keeping in touch.
It is vitally important that we ensure that our residents can remain in contact with their family and friends during this time. New technology is great for this purpose, but of course, a good old fashioned letter and card is just as welcome and we hope they will all like those special pocket hugs!

Home Partners with King School in Pen-Pal Scheme
Prestbury Beaumont Care Home in have teamed up with local school Kings, for a newly launched pen pal scheme, connecting residents within the home with creative writing pupils. The residents are delighted that their partnership with the school can continue during lock-down and are looking forward to the time when they can welcome the pupils back into the home as part of their continued intergernational links.
Residents have been sharing their stories of the past with the pupils, and are continuing to make new friends in the inter-generational scheme.

A Special Thank You
Residents at Prestbury wrote some special thank you cards for our carers to express their appreciation for their support.
Bake Off
Residents from Prestbury Beaumont enjoyed an afternoon of baking, which took them back to their younger years. The home has created a weekly baking club to make tasty treats to share and talk fondly of their favourite recipes.
Our residents enjoy spending time in the kitchen, as it not only brings back memories of their childhood, but also times when they’ve baked with their own children and grandchildren. Once all the bakes were made, we all enjoyed sitting down with a cup of tea and a home-made cake.
