Activities at Begbrook House Care Home
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.

Life at Begbrook House Care Home
Remembrance Day
Begbrook House honour the fallen on Remembrance Sunday. Staff and residents at Begbrook House have commemorated Remembrance Day today; by joining in with the rest of the United Kingdom in holding two-minutes silence at 11am. Residents tuned into BBC One this morning to watch The Cenotaph. Poppies, flags and balloons have been displayed around the home in remembrance of the day.
Pets as Therapy
Begbrook House are excited to announce a new regular visitor name Polly from Pets As Therapy.
Live Entertainment
We have been treated to the amazing talents of Alex! We sang nd danced all afternoon to the beautiful cover songs, from Frank Sinatra to Doris Day. Even better, all the songs were played on the guitar!
Balloon Tennis
In celebration of the Olympics, we have been playing balloon tennis! This gets residents moving, and having fun while doing so is very important.
Friendly Competition
Here at Begbrook House, we like friendly competition, and what better way to have fun than a skittles competition. Residents enjoy being able to socialise and be active in a relaxed environment. You can even see Tony’s game face! This is a regular activity on our life enrichment planner.
Carers Week
We have been celebrating all our amazing carers here at Begbrook House. Carers received a box of chocolates and cakes to celebrate all their hard work. The gratitude didn’t stay within the house; residents sent hand written cards to the local carers support group, along with a box of chocolates. This was to show those carers they are appreciated for all they do!
