Life at Stamford Bridge Beaumont Care Home
International Gin and Tonic day
We enjoyed a tipple or two for International Gin and Tonic day!
We've enjoyed Gin with a range of different tonics and nibbles that accompany the famous drink.
International Gin and Tonic day was established in 2011 to celebrate the history of this beloved cocktail as well as in honour of Mary Edith Keyburn who died at 95 with a teacup full of gin and tonic on her bedside! Her family, well aware of her affection for the drink, smuggled a cocktail into the hospital!

International Day of Sign Language
We had a lovely morning learning about Sign Language with our activities coordinator Carole. We learnt the alphabet, how to sign our names and greetings too. Residents and staff really enjoyed this activity and we are so lucky to have Carole here to keep us practicing.
In Honour of Her Majesty the Queen
In honour of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, we took the time to commemorate her and pay our tributes to the Royal Family.
In loving memory of the Queen, we worked hard to create our own Memorial Area with soft lighting and photos of the Queen, which staff, residents, families and friends can visit anytime; we created a book of condolence and a memory tree with photos of the Queen. We have also spent time together remembering the Queen over the years.
For many of our residents, the Queen represented comfort, hope and peace over the past seven decades of her sovereignty, and she will be sorely missed.
