Celebrating life at Barchester

We were delighted to welcome Exmouth in Bloom as they hosted a wonderful fundraising stall selling an array of preserves. Their presence created a real buzz, with a warm, friendly atmosphere throughout the home. We look forward to welcoming them back again very soon. 

Our residents enjoyed an afternoon creating amazing artificial flower displays for there own individual rooms to enjoy. Our lovely resident Fred made a spectacular flower display & presented he beautiful creation to his lovely wife Margarette who is our resident on our memory lane community.

Fred stated he "really enjoyed this activity" & the delight on Margaret's face when he handed her the flowers spoke a thousand words.

At Brampton View Care home we are passionate about residents being able to continue enjoying lifelong hobbies, as well as exploring new adventures whilst living at our home.

The children from Kingsthorpe Primary School Nursery and Reception are always a joy to have in the home and on a regular basis they bring the residents joy and laughter. Resident wanted to give the children an extra Easter gift on their return after the Easter break. 

At Brampton View we know that intergenerational activity is hugely beneficial to all involved as it encourages communication and social skills. Intergenerational contact also helps to develop language and reading confidence through shared activities, as well as increasing confidence and self-esteem. Lastly it helps children to develop empathy, care and kindness, helping them to understand and talk more positively about ageing and older people

National Gardening Day continued at Bere Grove today as residents got their hands delightfully dirty planting bright, beautiful spring flowers into garden pots today. Lots of smiles and a splash of colour to brighten our outdoor spaces, we think they’ve done a blooming marvellous job! 

Spring has officially sprung at Bere Grove.

An outing to the local village pub in Henfield is a trip enjoyed by residents initiated by request of residents resulted in the sharing of fond memories and connecting with the wider community.

Presenting the opportunity for residents to enhance social and emotional wellbeing in a relaxed environment it encouraged the group to bond and strengthen relationships outside of Red Oaks. There was much laughter and engagement with the local community enhancing quality of life.

These regular pub outings promote social inclusion, emotional wellbeing, independence and contributes positively to residents overall happiness and sense of fulfilment.
