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.

Life at Brampton View Care Home
Brampton View Christmas Decorations
Huge thank you to all staff and residents across Brampton View who have helped turn the home into a festive grotto for Christmas.
We hosted a Christmas decorating competition across the communities and the staff and residents really gave it their all. They were arguing for the best decorations and even going out shopping for more! It was extremely successful and we have definitely reaped the benefits from it. We hope you all enjoy the decorations as much as we do.
Brampton View Toy Drive
Residents and staff at Brampton View have partnered with the Doddridge Centre in Northampton to ensure that each child they support has a toy under the tree for Christmas. Brampton View called upon staff, residents, relatives and friends of the home to donate children’s toys and clothing for Christmas. Within the time frame everyone gathered up over six containers worth of items which were donated to the centre in time for their Christmas event this weekend, where children will get to visit with Father Christmas whilst parents can select a gift to take home for them. Thank you so much to everyone who donated!
Santa’s Grotto
The elves have been hard at work here at Brampton View creating Santa his very own grotto for residents and families to enjoy over the Christmas period. We can’t wait to share this with you all and for Santa to pay us a visit!
Animal therapy
We absolutely love our visits from Lucia and her tiny farm here! She brings a selection of animals for us to choose our favourites for cuddles and we learn more about the care of them each time. They bring such joy to us all and both staff and residents have the best time during the visit.
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.
