Activities at Wimbledon Beaumont Care Community
Our team of activities staff and volunteers are constantly striving to improve the lives of our residents. This includes the quality of our regular entertainers, the new PAT dog and cat visits, the new singing entertainment in residents bedrooms and the personalised visits by volunteers. We also encourage relatives and friends to join in with activities and trips out whenever they can.
As the festive season begins, the team at Wimbledon Beaumont would like to encourage you to join them to take part in our varied activities and regular trips out.

Life at Wimbledon Beaumont Care Community
Celebrating Staff
Congratulations to Charge Nurse, Tetri Baksh, who was named as 'Nurse of the Year' at the 2018 Physical Disability & Autism Awards.
Tai Chi
Residents were delighted to participate in a sit down Tai Chi sessions, which can help with coordination and also raise energy levels. It was a lot of fun and residents learnt more about their bodies and working as a team.
Sensory Activities
This session was all about senses and touching and feeling. With their eyes closed, residents took some time to relax with their eyes closed and smelled some sensual oils and listened to soothing sounds. Calming colours adorned the walls of the room and residents also spent some time trying to identify different objects from the garden.
Flower Arranging
This activity was enjoyed by all residents; they socialised together and discussed the names of the flowers and what their favourites were. It was a great teamwork activity.
The Red Bag Pathway
Wimbledon Beaumont has recently partnered with NHS Merton Clinical Commissioning Group to provide residents with a red bag to make hospital stays as stress-free and as easy as possible.
Each resident has been given a simple red bag, which comes with a checklist of items that should be packed in the event that they need to go to the hospital in an emergency.
The checklist contains personal details, vital information about health conditions, supplies of regular medicine, personal items and a change of clothes for when they are ready to be discharged.
Lower Morden Garden Centre
Residents visited the Lower Morden Garden Centre recently with Alma and Anne-Marie.
