Activities at Stamford Bridge Beaumont Care Home

Happy Easter to everybody from all of us here at Stamford Bridge Beaumont!

We have had lots of fun over the weekend including talking about the traditions of Easter, eating chocolate and of course looking after our little chicks.

We would also like to share a special thanks to our wonderful resident Bryan Lawson who kindly hosted a special Easter Service for our residents, delivering a speech of which he has been so busy working on. Everybody enjoyed singing an array of hymns and saying prayers and celebrating the traditions of Easter together.

What a wonderful Easter weekend we have had!

We are so egg-cited to announce the arrival of the rest of our Hatched Baby Chicks.

There was lots of exciting discussions and conversations on potential names for our new arrivals and residents have had a great time watching the chicks hatch and an even better time holding them!

We had a great afternoon celebrating a special day for a special couple.

To mark Alice & Michael's Wedding Anniversary we had a party where we enjoyed cake, tea and coffee and listened to music while talking about the wedding of the lovely couple, who have been married 66 years today.

And not only is it their wedding anniversary, it is also Alice's birthday today! Happy birthday to Alice, and Happy Anniversary to Alice and Michael from us all at Stamford Bridge Beaumont.

This week is ‘National Pie Week’ and to celebrate, everyone a delicious pie of their choice. We had a selection of savoury pies, sweet pies and sausage rolls to be enjoyed with a glass of lemonade with fresh lemon. They were thoroughly enjoyed by everybody and we had some lovely comments;

“I especially enjoyed the apple pie, it brought back lots of lovely memories from when I used to bake”

“Meat pies were always a family favourite in our home”

Thank you to our local bakery The Square Bakehouse for supplying the pies for us. We had many compliments and we are very lucky to live in a community with such helpful, supportive businesses to help us give our residents a fulfilled and enriched life here.

We had a lovely time joining Holly and Roxanne from the Wallace Collection for a virtual sensory talk in recognition of International Women’s Day.

The Wallace Collection a national museum in a historic London town house.

During the session, our residents had the opportunity to explore together two different, yet inspiring, women from the Collection, with music and discussion.

We all had a fantastic time and we truly enjoyed the immersive experience.

This week residents from around the home gathered for our weekly church service, hosted by Reverend Simon Pritchard, from St. John the Baptist Church. Everyone enjoyed communion and singing an array of hymns and saying prayers.

Part of the service was also hosted by our resident Brian Lawson, who is a retired Anglican lay reader. This was a lovely addition to our church service this morning and we are very grateful to Brian for always going out of his way to help others.
