Activities at Stamford Bridge Beaumont Care Home

Louise Potter, Operational Trainer, is celebrating 35 years long service at Barchester!

Louise started her journey with Barchester in July 1999 as a Care Assistant at Stamford Bridge Beaumont Care Home, then became a Senior Care Assistant and Home Trainer, and now works as an Operational Trainer. A surprise party was held for her in July to celebrate her hard work!

Adele Keenan, Employee Services Director at Barchester said: “I’m always pleased to hear stories about the long service of Barchester staff and am delighted Louise has achieved this milestone. It is dedication like this that ensures our residents are provided with a happy place to live.”

Our residents enjoyed a wonderful trip out at the Elvington Air museum.

The exhibits promoted many conversations throughout the day, the gentlemen were particularly impressed that they could get so close to the aeroplanes.

Our day out at the Elvington Museum was rounded off nicely with a rather tasty lunch in the cafe as our residents tucked into the delicious fish and chips on offer.

We've had the most fabulous afternoon in the sun for our Hawaiian themed BBQ.

With grass skirts blowing in the breeze, flower garlands fluttering, the parrot and flamingo flying and palm trees gently swaying...and occasionally falling over made for an amazing experience for everybody who came.

The home activities team would like to pass on special thanks to Nick from the maintenance team for constructing the centre piece tiki bar, it looked absolutely amazing, Amy and the catering team for all their help with preparing the food, the care teams who without your help and support events like this could not happen. Thanks also go to all the family members who came to support their loved ones.

Staff and residents are celebrating because their wonderful Managing Director, Fiona Fagan, from Barchester’s North East and Scotland Division, has stepped completely out of her comfort zone to compete in the Barchester Charitable Foundation Cook Off 2024.

Fiona went head-to-head with the Managing Directors from Barchester’s four other divisions and cooked up a storm to raise a phenomenal £24,595 for Barchester’s Charitable Foundation which helps connect vulnerable people and those living with a disability to community groups in their local area by providing grants to improve mobility and quality of life.  Each year the Foundation distributes thousands of pounds to individuals, small community groups and charities across England, Scotland and Wales.  

Our residents and colleagues were delighted to visit the Bean and Barrel Cafe for their weekly senior citizens coffee morning. 

Hosted by Cafe owner Veronica our residents and colleagues had a lovely morning meeting members of the local community whilst enjoying a selection of delicious beverages and tasty snacks. 

Happy Birthday NHS! We were delighted to celebrate the 76th anniversary of our national health service with a day of fun themed activities. 

Our residents took delight in a visit by Mr Bones and enjoyed wrapping him in bandages and designing themed cupcakes ready for afternoon tea. 

We were also delighted to welcome several NHS professional over the course of the day and had the privelige of thanking them in person for their hard work and dedication.
