Activites 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!

Trip to the Hairdresser!

Trip to the Hairdresser!

The buzz in the Filton College hairdressing salon was infectious. Today wasn't just another training day; it was a special occasion. A group of residents from  Bamfield Lodge were their honoured guests, ready for a day of pampering and a touch of sparkle.

From the moment they arrived, the residents were treated like royalty. Students, usually practising intricate braids or perfecting their blow-drying techniques on mannequins, now have the pleasure of working with real smiles and stories. The salon was a flurry of gentle activity. Hair was washed, conditioned, cut, and styled with meticulous care. Some opted for classic waves, others for a bit more volume, and a few even bravely tried soft, temporary colours that brought a youthful glow to their faces. The students, under the watchful eyes of their tutors, chatted warmly with the residents, listening to tales of yesteryear and sharing their own hopes for the future.

It wasn't just about the hair, though. Tables laden with an array of beautifully decorated cakes lined one corner of the salon. Pots of steaming tea and fragrant coffee were constantly being refilled. The residents, often confined to their routine, savoured each bite and sip, their eyes twinkling with delight.
Each resident felt seen, valued, and truly spoilt. The students, in turn, experienced the profound joy of using their skills to bring happiness to others. The air was filled with laughter, gentle conversation, and the quiet hum of hairdryers – a symphony of connection and care.

As the afternoon drew to a close, and the residents, looking radiant and refreshed, prepared to leave, there were heartfelt thank yous all around. "You've made us feel like a million dollars," one resident exclaimed, and nods of agreement rippled through the group.

The Filton College hairdressing students stood a little taller that day. They had not only honed their technical skills but had also learned the invaluable lesson of the human touch, the power of kindness, and the immense satisfaction of giving back to their community. This collaboration was more than just a pamper session; it was a beautiful exchange of warmth and connection, and everyone involved eagerly anticipated the next visit.

Trip to Portishead Marina

A lovely day out at Portishead Marina! 

We took a relaxing stroll along the waterfront, soaking in the sea breeze and views of the beautiful boats. 
The highlight? A well-earned cup of tea and some biscuits enjoyed right by the water- the perfect way to spend time together.  

Great company, peaceful surroundings and plenty of smiles all round.

Charity Event at Bamfield

On Tuesday, we held a wonderful session of bingo together with our bake sale and what fun we had. The laughter was infectious! And a massive shout-out to Shelley and the Kitchen team for the stunning (and delicious!) cakes at the bake sale. What a brilliant start! 

Everyone's buzzing about the quiz tomorrow... and what could be better than finishing the afternoon with a bit of time in the sun? On Wednesday we give a huge shout-out to the legendary Pete for another cracking quiz – you're a star! And honestly, the staff and residents have outdone themselves with the outrageous outfits today. An absolutely brilliant effort! And well done Christina for keeping quiet for most of the day. She did send a few messages which really are technically talking... but we will let her off!!!! 

The finale to our event was an afternoon's garden party with tea and those incredible cakes by Shelley and the Kitchen team were just perfect. Dancing, singing, sunshine – what more could you ask for? A massive thank you to everyone who came along and made this week so special, and an even bigger thank you to all who donated. Barchester's charity will put your generosity to fantastic use. You're all amazing!

Huge thank you to Sarah and Bambi!

Wow, what a treat we had yesterday! A massive, heartfelt thank you to Sarah for bringing in her absolutely adorable, massive, cuddly puppy, Bambi! (only 4 months old)!

That little fluffball (who isn't so little!) completely stole our hearts. The residents were absolutely beaming, and the smiles Bambi brought to everyone's faces were just priceless. There were so many happy cuddles and gentle pats – it was truly a joy to witness.

Bambi, you are an absolute sweetheart, and your visit brightened everyone's day. We're still talking about your big paws and even bigger personality! Thank you again, Sarah, for sharing your wonderful pup with us. It meant the world to everyone!

Morning out at Cadbury Garden Centre

What a lovely morning we had today! The residents enjoyed a trip out on the bus to Cadbury Garden Centre, where they were treated to a delicious cuppa and some delightful retail therapy.   

Everyone had a wonderful time browsing the beautiful plants and flowers, and stopping to feed the fish.

They remembered it being a lot smaller, as it was one of their favourite places to visit. It was a bit different from when it started out with the owner selling veg from a table outside his bungalow!!!  

The friendly atmosphere and delicious refreshments made it a perfect day out for all.

Minibus Trip

We took a mini-bus ride to the Suspension Bridge today. 

We parked by the sea wall and could see right from Portishead and Avonmouth to the beautiful bridge. 

Simple trips like these remind us how beautiful little things can be!

Elvis Visit!

Elvis Presley himself (well, maybe!) just rocked Bamfield Lodge!  

We had an unforgettable afternoon with Andy T today, and the whole place was jumpin' with his incredible renditions of classic Elvis hits. Elvis even made a lot of appearances!!!

The energy was electric, and everyone had a blast.  

Big thanks to Andy for bringing the house down.
