The activity team within our home spend a lot of time committing themselves to organising a range of activities for residents. This includes, pet therapy, trips out to local places of interest, visits from entertainers and musicians, bingo, one to one pamper time, weekly quizzes, coffee mornings, arts and crafts and baking. Activities are considered to be a crucial aspect of our home as residents look forward to upcoming events. As a result, it is essential that our team work together with dedication, to ensure residents are entertained and involved in as many activities as possible.
Michael Lythgoe
I have worked in the care sector for 36 years, initially working for the NHS at Brandesburton Hospital as a care assistant. When the hospital closed I transferred to Townend Court and continued as a care assistant on the forensic ward for people with a learning disability. It was whilst working with the Occupational therapists at Townend that I discovered my passion for engaging the patients in activities of their choosing, I’m quite artistic and creative so it was an easy transition
I have many years’ experience working with the older generation and those who live with dementia, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and other diagnosis’.
I am really looking forward to bring both my experience and passion to my new role and to see the positive impact on our resident population.

Life at Stamford Bridge Beaumont Care Home
Christmas in the garden centre
We had a fabulous morning visit to the local garden centre where our residents enjoyed looking at all of the Christmas decorations, they were all amazed with just how much you can buy now.
This promoted really interesting conversations about how people used to make their own decorations year after year, we were also grateful of some ideas when we are making our own in our craft sessions. We finished off the visit with a traditional round of hot chocolate and chocolate cake.
The positive power of music
We were highly entertained by Martin Reeves who brings his unique mix of music and humour for our residents on a monthly basis.
Music is so uplifting and we love to hear everybody singing along to some absolute classics from many different eras.
The pictures say it all, the joy and laughter just makes for a very special afternoon when Martin is here, we look forward to his next visit.
Festive Floristry Workshop
Staff and residents across our homes were treated to an interactive virtual Christmas-inspired table decorating masterclass, courtesy of talented master florist, Kathryn Delve.
Kathryn is an independent florist based in Somerset, she specialises in creating unique wedding and event flowers. She takes much of her inspiration for her displays from the beautiful scenery that surrounds her home and the changing seasons and colours.
During the workshop, residents were invited to join Kathryn to make beautiful Christmas-themed table decorations.
Walk through a landscape
Residents across our services had a lovely time joining Emily and Marie-Therese from the Wallace Collection, for a virtual introduction to Reubens' Rainbow Landscape.
Residents truly enjoyed the sensory walk through one of the museum’s most famous landscape paintings.
Everyone who joined had a wonderful experience and can’t wait to put their creative skills to the test by painting some landscapes of our their in the coming days!
Lunch at Thickett Priory
Two of our lovely residents recently had an amazing experience when meeting with the sisters from Thickett Priory, we were so well looked after on our visit with lunch provided and entertainment from the sisters very own musical quartet.
One of the sisters was celebrating her birthday and our amazing Head Cook made a special birthday cake which we were assured would be enjoyed by all of the sisters later in the day.
The nuns were so lovely with us all and they took such an interest in hearing historical stories from our residents, we were all presented with some home-made items when we were leaving including cards, candles and soft toys. A truly wonderful experience for all of us, the visit has remained a topic of conversation up to present.
Baking our Christmas cake
Christmas preparations have started! We have been very busy in our baking club where our ladies have been showing their culinary skills to create our Christmas cake and entry to the Barchester annual Christmas cake competition.
With a wealth of experience and secret recipes being shared between us, reminiscing of cake baking, decorating and cooking with our families brought much joy but there is still nothing better than licking the spoon!
