Life at Stamford Bridge Beaumont Care Home
Residents enjoy game of dominoes
Residents enjoyed a game of dominos at Stamford Bridge as part of their popular games afternoons. A number of residents at Stamford Bridge had a great time playing a game of dominos with each other and squeezed in a quick natter and a cuppa in between games accompanied by delicious home-made mince pies. Everyone had fun as they showed a little friendly competition each game!
Christingle
We have recently been having virtual Church services from St Nicholas Church in Dunnington. It has been great to receive these services again for our residents. We also got involved for the recent festive service by making some of our very own Christingles.
Christmas Decorations
The first week of December was all about getting our decorations up, which our residents mostly did. We now have a total of 10 Christmas trees around the home, so residents can enjoy them wherever they choose to spend their time.
Santa makes a surprise visit
Barchester’s Stamford Bridge Beaumont care home, in Stamford Bridge, got in the Christmas spirit with a visit from Santa who came to spread some festive cheer amongst the residents.
Stamford Bridge Beaumont’s residents enjoyed a special visit from Santa, he arrived on his sleigh with Christmas songs playing. The residents had a great time dancing along and listening to the music. The sleigh was arranged by the Derwent Lions who also delivered us a Ferrero Rocher advent Christmas tree earlier in the month, we are very grateful to them for having us in their thoughts.
General Manager, Linsey Leatham said: “We’ve had a year like no other so we wanted to really spoil our residents and give them an extra special treat. We’ve all had such fun today, and it is clear that everyone really enjoyed the day.”
Christmas decorations
Barchester’s Stamford Bridge Beaumont care home, got in the Christmas spirit by dressing the Christmas trees throughout the home adding a little glitz and sparkle for everyone to enjoy.
Once the final bauble was hung residents sat back to enjoy with a cup of tea and delicious mince pies as the conservation flowed as they reminiscence about childhood Christmases.
Keeping residents connected
Residents are overjoyed at Stamford Bridge Beaumont care home in Stamford Bridge, York as Barchester Healthcare has implemented a visiting suite for residents to continue to spend time with their loved ones for the autumn and winter seasons in addition to the outdoor visiting that has been on offer for those able for many months.
Balancing resident wellbeing and safety is at the forefront of Barchester Healthcare’s thinking and they understand how important it is for residents and their family and friends to be able to spend time together in the safest way possible.
There has been much careful planning and preparation for this moment by Barchester Healthcare, who run Stamford Bridge Beaumont care home. It was welcome news for their residents and family and friends as we enter the colder season meaning catch-ups can continue to take place, instead of, or in addition to, outdoor visiting already offered for those able.
