Activities at Stamford Bridge Beaumont Care Home

Here at the Beaumont, we love to get involved with stuff going on in our local village. Recently, they had a scarecrow weekend; lots of people made funny scarecrows all around the village and showed them off to people. Residents and staff on our residential community made a Humpty Dumpty scarecrow for this occasion and had great pleasure in showing it off.

Congratulations to Sarah Steer, who has been named as a divisional winner in the 'Care Practitioner of the Year' category in the 2017 Barchester Care Awards.

We had a fabulous afternoon with George England, who came to entertain folks at the home; we all sang along and danced the afternoon away. One of the ladies spent all the time dancing - it was so lovely to share this moment with her. She told us how her and her husband used to dance the night away for hours and hours back in the day. Helping someone to recall such good memories is a very rewarding experience.

We opened our doors to the general public, who were invited to come and have a look around our lovely home.

We started the day with a coffee morning and gave tours to a few people; they were very impressed with the lovely atmosphere we have here at the Beaumont.

After lunch, we had a fantastic afternoon singing along with Ruth Strangeway, who came into our home and provided us with music and exercise sessions.

The day was a great success and appeared to be enjoyed by everyone who stopped by.

We had a lovely afternoon over on our residential community recently. Activities Assistant, Libby, enjoyed doing arts and crafts with some residents, and we also had a game of dominos, which brought back some lovely memories - and we all had fun chatting about them!

We had a fabulous visit from Zoolab; they came in and brought some lovely creatures with them. We all had fun holding them and learning some interesting facts.
