Activities at Brampton View Care Home

It was an afternoon of fun and laughter for the residents here at Brampton View. Alex and George are a son and father duo act for AG Magicians who had visited the home for the first time. There was some silliness and involvement from the residents with a few "Weetabix" prompts in the performance.

Residents joined in on the fun adorning silly hats and getting involved with the "Weetabix" prompts! Residents stated that the afternoon was fun and nice to have the magic show in the home.

General Manager Mo Masedi stated "Its not everyday you have a father and son duo in the home performing for the residents, it was nice to see the residents getting involved in the moment and have some laughter"

At Brampton View that's what we like to do - create memories, and ensure our residents are leading full enriched lives.

We are so proud and delighted to announce that Brampton View Care Home has won the Barchester Easter Cake competition for the central region. Created by our very own talented Head Chef Glenn who entered this spectacular cake into the competition.

The cake can be seen in the main reception area of the home throughout the Easter period.

Mo Masedi, General Manager said " We are so happy to have won this competition, Glenn is so creative and this was just one of the many amazing cakes he has made over the years, they just get better and better all the time"

Residents were delighted to have the team from #specsavers Audiology at the home for a informative afternoon focused on the health of our hearing and looking after your ears.

Aadil and Mabil from the audiology department provided an engaging talk which was not only informative but the crucial role our ears play in our overall well-being, particularly as we age, highlighting the often-overlooked consequences of hearing loss, such as feelings of isolation, disengagement, embarrassment, and the inability to participate in important discussions.

Residents were very grateful for the session, finding it beneficial with a deeper understanding of the importance of maintaining hearing health. 

Its always a big hit in the home to have a cheese, wine and quiz afternoon. Residents come from all communities to join in, socialise and meet their friends, there is always a sense of fun and competition with the quiz which challenges the mind.

The residents enjoy the tasting of cheese and especially the new cheeses that we can bring into the home and mentioned "the cheese are all lovely" "very good really enjoyed the afternoon" & "lovely tasty cheese".

These events are also open to family and friends or those living in the wider community that are isolated and would enjoy the company. All events and activities in the home are free to attend.

Cheese, Wine and Quiz Afternoon is always a big hit in the home. There was a variety of cheese to try either for the first time or for those residents who have lived in the home a long time, many favourite cheeses was on offer. There was time to have a few samples of wine before the quiz started, with the competitor's and quizzers at the ready. All had a fun filled afternoon.

Residents come from all communities to join in, socialise and meet their friends. These events are also open to family and friends or those living in the wider community that are isolated and would enjoy the company.  

One Resident said "Activities team did great and we all really enjoyed the afternoon"

At Brampton View we love hosting events that we can open up to our relatives, friends and the wider community. Life at  the home is about being part of the local community and enjoying life long hobbies whilst also exploring new experiences.

Residents at Brampton view enjoyed another afternoon of singing and dancing with the very talented Lesley Ann, it is always a pleasure to have this lovely lady visit the home who gets the residents to their feet, tapping their toes and clapping their hands as she sings all different genre that suit the residents.

One of the home residents said "Lesley Ann is a pleasure to have in the home, she brings a joy in her singing and I love to sing along and join in"

One of the cornerstones of our life enrichment program is live musical entertainment. Resident involvement in choosing genres along with feedback after each performance means that we are able to constantly improve our activities calendar.
