Activities at Stamford Bridge Beaumont Care Home

We had a very fun afternoon with Ruth Strangeway. Ruth brings new ideas to Stamford Bridge, combining exercise with music. We had so much fun singing along, exercising, playing games and using musical instruments - and generally having a fantastic afternoon. Thank you, Ruth, for coming to our home.

We have been putting together some memory boxes for residents in our Memory Lane community so they can spend time looking through them with loved ones and staff to hopefully recall some lovely memories. One resident loves the Eddie Stobart trucks, so Activities Assistant, Zoe, contacted them to see if they would kindly send us some pictures for the memory boxes. A big thank you to them for taking time out to send us some pictures of their fabulous trucks - it was a very kind gesture and is much appreciated.

We had a fabulous visit from the lovely Carla, who came to sing and dance for residents. Carla always puts on a great show and we all really enjoy her visits. She sings songs we all know and everyone loves singing and dancing along. Pictured is Carla and a resident having a cuddle.

We had a fantastic visit from Acomb Pets, who brought in some exotic animals for us all to look at. Everyone had great fun holding all the little creatures, which included tarantulas, bearded dragons, snakes, turtles and an albino hedgehog. Thank you to Acomb Pets for coming in.

We had a fantastic baking session recently. Residents really enjoy baking and we have so much fun chatting about when we would bake with our mums. When we have finished baking, we normally sit around the table and sample our results with a nice cup of tea and discuss what we would like to bake next and other activities we would like to do.

We have all been supporting the Tour de Yorkshire, which has been fantastic to watch. Even though it didn't go through our village, we still decided to support the event by putting out our own yellow bike and rider.
