Activities at Bamfield Lodge Care Home
Our home is always full of life, and we can thank our wonderful Activities Coordinators for this. Dedication to creating a unique and interesting activities programme is what sets us apart from other homes. We always take into consideration that some people would prefer to pursue their own interests, which is why our team strive to incorporative activities that cater to a wide range of tastes and hobbies. Our trips out are always fun and exciting as well, and residents are guaranteed to return with stories to tell their loved ones!

Life at Bamfield Lodge Care Home
Celebrating Age Concert
Staff and residents from Barchester’s Bamfield Lodge care home, in Bristol had a fantastic time visiting Bristol Beacon Concert Hall where they all enjoyed taking part in The Celebrating Age concert sponsored by Bristol Beacon, Bristol Drugs project, 50+ crowd and Age UK Bristol.
Residents and staff had a brilliant time at the concert where they were entertained by a fantastic line up of local acts. First the Grassy Knoll Ukelele Ensemble played some familiar sing along classics, then it was the turn of Artuba, a Bristol band with roots in the Caribbean and East End London music. Then to finish the residents listened to the delightful sounds of local legends The Sisters of Swing, an amazingly talented all-female act who played some crowd-pleasing big band tunes.
Art project
Residents have been designing beautifully painted rocks, to get involved with Bristol Rocks UK project, the project aims at getting the community out into the fresh air and going on a rock hunt. The residents ventured out and about to hide the rocks around the local area ready for members of the community to find and are very much looking forward to hearing when there rocks have been found!
Ice-Lolly making
Residents thoroughly enjoyed making their own ice-lollies, they chose to make refreshing orange lollies to be enjoyed in the summer sunshine in the garden.
Dance Club
Residents had a wonderful time showing us their best moves at our weekly dance club. Each week we have a different dance style and this week’s theme was Rock n Roll!
Sidney the Therapy Dog
We have had the pleasure of having Sidney come to volunteer with us. He has been spreading joy and smiles around the home. Residents have enjoyed playing and cuddling with him as well as taking him for walks around the community. His calm and loving temperament has brought a lovely atmosphere into the home and we love having him come to visit.
VE-Day
We celebrated the 75th VE-Day today with a street party style afternoon tea! Residents enjoyed talking about their experiences with VE-Day and their memories of a post-war childhood. We were joined by the students of City of Bristol College who came to celebrate alongside us! We all enjoyed getting in the spirit with hats, flags, and plenty of singing. Especially to nations sweetheart Vera Lynn.
