Activities at Stamford Bridge Beaumont Care Home

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

Celebrations have been in full swing at Stamford Bridge Beaumont, as one of its residents reached her 101st Birthday in style.

Jean Raine was joined by staff and residents as she celebrated her landmark birthday. A champagne reception was held at the home and Jean along with her friends enjoyed a special birthday cake made by the home’s hospitality team. Jean, had a lovely day and like most days took it all in her stride!

Jean was born in Hartlepool on the 7th of March 1920, her first job was working in a paper mill before joining the Women’s Royal Air Force during the Second World War in Lincoln, this is where she met her husband and settled to raise her two sons. In 1960 she moved to Helmsley where she later retired before coming to Stamford Bridge Beaumont where she is enjoying a new chapter of her life.

Residents have been busy adding a ray of sunshine throughout the home as part of their arts and crafts session.  It was all yellow as everyone created daffodils to display and the finished results is proudly displayed in the windows and looks amazing when the early Spring sunshine shines through. Are you looking forward to Spring?

This week our Residents were treated to a Bettys Tearoom inspired afternoon tea,  they had tea in our china cups and enjoyed some delicious mouth-watering cakes and finger sandwiches especially prepared by the homes hospitality team.  Even our staff got into the spirit of the theme and a lovely afternoon was had by all as we shared stories of our visits to this iconic tea room.

Love was in the air at Stamford Bridge Beaumont as we celebrated this special day with a Valentine’s themed afternoon tea.  During the afternoon we enjoyed listening to love songs, delicious home-made cakes especially prepared by the homes hospitality team.   During the course of the week residents also enjoyed various arts and crafts with a love theme which were displayed throughout the home for everyone to see.

In December we had 2 visiting suites installed at our home and these have become invaluable to our residents and their family and friends who have been able to ensure relationships are maintained while still adhering to social distancing, today Richard was visited by his wife a daughter - I think the faces say it all.
