Activities at Stamford Bridge Beaumont Care Home

At Stamford Bridge Beaumont residents enjoyed ladies day as they spent the morning making fascinators which they then wore in the afternoon during our virtual trip to the races where we enjoyed some friendly competition as to whose horse would win each race, followed by some refreshing strawberries and cream!

Staff and residents at Barchester’s Stamford Bridge Beaumont care home were treated to a photographic tour and talk about the creation of V&A Dundee by Peter Nurick, the Museum’s Communities Producer.  The talk forms part of a series of six talks and virtual tours that V&A Dundee is hosting for Barchester Healthcare’s care homes and private hospitals across the UK.

V&A Dundee is Scotland’s design museum, it showcases Scotland’s outstanding design achievements and features world-class exhibitions alongside the permanent Scottish Design Galleries, and a changing programme of commissions, events and activities.  

Peter’s talk and photographic tour of V&A Dundee described how the history of the city and site inspired the architect to draw from a range of unusual sources to create a thoroughly modern museum that is as intriguing as it is complex. Residents discovered the building’s secrets and followed the entire design and construction process – from initial concept to opening celebration – with incredible images that show the challenges involved as well as the ingenious solutions that the designers and construction teams required to bring V&A Dundee to life.

Staff, residents and their guests at Barchester’s Stamford Bridge Beaumont care home, in Stamford Bridge were celebrating the birth of baby chicks this week at the home.

There was a lot of egg-citement at the home as seven chicks hatched throughout the week and just in time for Easter. Residents were able to pet and feed the chicks as they found their footing in their new home.

General Manager Lindsey Leatham said: “It was an eggs-cellent day when the eggs finally hatched! Residents at Stamford Bridge Beaumont as well as our team were all very excited about the new-borns, our residents have been busy naming the little chicks, so far we have, Luna, Hope and Wee-Henry.

A couple from Stamford Bridge Beaumont have celebrated 64-years of marriage and for Mrs Setter’s birthday which is the same day by raising a glass to each other!

General Manager, Lindsay Leatham said: “We have had such a lovely day celebrating Mr and Mrs’s Setters anniversary. It’s so wonderful to see two people still very much in love after all these years!”

With Easter just around the corner, residents have been busy getting ready and making a selection on themed crafts to display around the home from Easter trees with brightly coloured eggs on display to sock bunnies which were a lot of fun to make.  Everyone is looking forward to receiving their Easter eggs!

Residents and staff at Stamford Bridge Beaumont celebrated all things Irish for St Patrick’s Day this week. The home was decorated with shamrocks and everyone got dressed up in green to mark the day.

Staff and residents at the home marked the day by trying their luck with a game of ‘higher / lower’ and listening to Irish music as they share stories of trips to the Emerald Isle
