Life at Stamford Bridge Beaumont Care Home
Baking Is a Piece of Cake for Residents
Residents of Stamford Bridge had a wonderful time at a cookery lesson, organised by the homes Activities Coordinator and kitchen staff as they baked their entry to the annual Barchester Christmas Cake competition. Although they didn’t win, all residents had a fabulous afternoon and everyone enjoyed eating the delicious homemade cake at the home's Christmas Party.
A lot of our residents used to bake and cook every day for their families, and really enjoyed the chance to remember old skills and as they prepared their entry conversation soon turned to the different baking tips and recipes. The afternoon led to reminiscing about old times and sharing some very useful tips – with lots of laughing and happy chat. Everyone enjoyed the result and they’ll definitely be incorporating cookery and baking into the homes regular activities schedule.
New Year’s Eve at Stamford Bridge
On New Year’s Eve, residents at Stamford Bridge celebrated in style with musical entertainment from Dark Moon along with a glass of Fizz. The afternoon was finished off with residents and staff singing Auld Lang’s Syne to celebrate the start of a New year.
Happy Birthday
