Activities at Beeston View Memory Lane Community
Activities are an integral part of life at our care home. We want to ensure that the people we support have as much fun as possible during their time with us, so it’s important that our activities programme is created with the interests of residents in mind. Our skilled Activities Coordinators bring a certain uniqueness to the home that can’t be found anywhere else, and which is reflected in the activities they organise.
Luisa Painemilla
Hi there, I'm Luisa, Activities Co-ordinator at Iddenshall Hall.
I have worked with the elderly over 8 years and also for fifteen years in the social field as an Activities Coordinator for different social groups in three countries. I have a Degree in Social Integration, a Certificate in Theatrical Psychology and a Music Therapy certificate. In the past I have worked for local authorities and in a cerebral palsy home.
My work is very rewarding and it is a pleasure planning events and activities each month. I enjoy interacting with Residents and learning about their interests, preferences and experiences.
Look out for our activities and events - you are welcome to join us!

Life at Beeston View Memory Lane Community
The great outdoors!
The wintry weather may be upon us but the residents at Iddenshall Hall and Beeston View take every opportunity to wrap up warm, get some fresh air and explore our extensive gardens to see what the winter season brings.
The home is a carefully adapted farm house dating back to the 16th century and, whilst oozing charm, elegance and character, has a distinctly homely feel and we love to take advantage of the extensive grounds that comes with it!
Christmas Jumper Day
We are helping to make the world a better place by wearing a festival jumpers today in aid of Save the Children’s annual fundraising event, Christmas Jumper Day.
Our residents have been encouraged to borrow or decorate their own special Christmas jumpers and raise awareness for children in need all around the world.
Some of our residents have been very creative and decorated their own glitzy knitwear with tinsel, stars, baubles and snowflakes. It was a wonderful day, enjoyed by all.
Putting up the decs!
The residents at Iddenshall Hall have spent a very busy week decorating their home for Christmas.
They were so pleased with the results of their hard work that they decided to celebrate a little early with some delicious mince-pies and a little sherry!
Meeting the Reindeers
We got into the Christmas spirit of things by joining a festive live virtual experience, led by Des and Kelly from Performing Pets.
Our residents were thrilled to meet the charming furry friends and get up close and personal with the reindeers.
We certainly learnt some interesting facts about the animals and had a fantastic time.
World Kindness Day
Residents at Beeston View celebrated World Kindness Day, the theme for 2023 being 'Be Kind, Wherever Possible,'
The residents at Beeston View, showed kindness to their carers and staff by making them beautiful individual flower sprays.
