Activities at Southgate Beaumont Care Community

Our activities team are great at building the activities programme around the likes and interests of the people we care for. Ensuring that our social events offer fun and adventure is part of the ethos of our home; it’s important that those we support can enjoy an active and social lifestyle. Of course, there will always be those who prefer peace and quiet, and in these instances, a cup of tea and a chat are always welcomed.

Relaxing with reflexology.

Today we had a visit from local reflexologist Samantha. Reflexology is an ancient healing science with origins going back 5000 years to China and Egypt. People of all ages can be taught to give themselves reflexology through the hands and feet, to aid healing and relaxation. It was so interesting to learn the connection within our hands and bodies and we learnt useful tools to help relieve common symptoms and ailments.  A lovely relaxing way to spend an afternoon.
