Activities at Brampton View Care Home
Activities are the cornerstone of a wholesome home experience, and our Activities Coordinators are always putting their creative minds to the test by organising new and exciting social events for residents to partake in. Of course, we take into account the likes and dislikes of those we support, so if someone doesn’t feel like trying something new, there will always be something on offer to reflect their personal interests. For the people who may just prefer some peace and quiet instead, we also offer one-to-one time that can be enjoyed with a nice cup of coffee or just a simple chat – whatever they desire.

My name is Emma. I am the Activities Lead here at Brampton View. I joined the home in 2023 and I bring lots of new and exciting ideas to the role.
Having worked in the role before I am passionate about bringing a smile to all our residents faces and ensuring they make the most of their time here with us.

Life at Brampton View Care Home
Christmas Jumper Day
We didn’t need an excuse to get out our Christmas outfits but Christmas jumper day provided us with one this week. Both staff and residents donned their best outfits to help spread Christmas cheer around the home and it is feeling very festive here now. John & Elaine took the titles of ‘Best Dressed’ for the day. We can’t wait for out next themed day to see what other outfits we can come up with!
It's not Christmas until we have decorated a Christmas Cake
This year we have spent time carefully creating and making designs to enter into Barchester's Christmas Cake competition.
The morning brought back memories of making cakes at home with families and Christmas traditions. We are looking forward to tasting the finished.
Christmas Panto
Starting our festive celebrations off in style we had a visit from Tickled Pink and their Christmas Show. We spent the afternoon singing along to traditional carols and even got involved with the show dancing and playing instruments. We are now officially ready for December celebrations.
Elf Day
Staff swapped uniforms for their most festive elf outfits to raise money and awareness for Alzheimer’s Society. They spread lots of Christmas cheer around the home and residents enjoyed judging the outfits and learning what their elf name would be. We can’t wait for our next event!.
Countdown to Christmas Advent
The chefs at Brampton View love any excuse to get creative so they put their skills to the test to create a Gingerbread house advent calendar to sit pride of place in the heart of the home. Head chef Glenn Coombs and Linda Durbin whipped up a big batch of gingerbread and then got busy decorating with icing, buttercream, marshmallows, dolly mixture, candy canes and edible glitter to make some of the glitziest gingerbread houses in town.
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
This week we were joined by the children of Kingsthorpe Grove primary school to help us make decorations for our trees here within the home. We spent time crafting and decorating miniature trees, reindeers and snowmen whilst listening to Christmas music and talking about how trees at home. The children all shared that they believe they have made the ‘good’ list this year and after their visit with us we certainly believe this is true! We can’t wait to see them again.
