Bullseye
Residents of Stamford Bridge enjoyed a Sunday afternoon of darts accompanied by a glass of cold refreshing beer. The game became very competitive but with a bullseye for John he was officially crowned the winner! The residents who did not wish to play were very helpful with their math skills and working out the scores.
Residents delighted with robotic pet
Stamford Bridge have recently purchased a robotic, lifelike cat toy that is designed to create a virtual pet experience, allowing people with dementia who may not be able to have a pet of their own for various reasons to benefit from having a companion to talk to and spend time with. The residents have been getting so much pleasure from having the cat around and is a hit throughout the home with many residents sharing stories of pets they have owned.‘
Beach Day
Residents at Stamford Bridge Beaumont in Stamford Bridge enjoyed a day at the seaside from the comfort of their own home.
Residents and staff all got involved with the spirit of the seaside themed day. With regular trips out unable to happen during the current pandemic the activity staff wanted to ensure that residents didn’t miss out on a day at the seaside.
Residents enjoyed fish and chips from newspaper trays, beach volley ball, hook a duck, sandcastle building music and of course no trip to the seaside would be the same without an ice creams!
