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.
Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies
Life at Brampton View Care Home
Happy Birthday 'Doreen'
We had a wonderful afternoon accompanied by Carole and Peter from Zing who sang all of our favourite songs and helped us wish Doreen a very Happy Birthday. There was singing, dancing, laughter and most importantly cake. Doreen said she had a wonderful day and we were so glad to be a part of it.
Celebrating London Fashion Week
To mark the start of London Fashion Week our ladies gathered to discuss their favourite fashion trends over the years and tell us about their most loved outfits throughout their lives. We discussed wedding dresses, accessories and the length of hemlines!
We also had a chance to design our own outfits that we would like to see coming down the runway this season! Who knew we had so many budding designers amongst us. Let us know what you think of our designs and if you could see yourself wearing them?
Happy Birthday 'Elina'
We would like to wish our Deputy Manager Elina a very Happy Early Birthday! She will be away for the actual date but we couldn’t let her get away without a cake and card from everyone here!
We hope you have the best day and enjoy your cake.
Love is in the air
We had a fantastic Valentine’s Day here at Brampton View! We spent our morning with the children from Kingsthorpe Grove Primary making a heart display and sharing who our valentine is for the day and why we have chosen that person. Lots of the children chose their parents and their reasons were because they care for them.
Our kitchen team produced a fabulous themed lunch for the day and decorated cakes for our afternoon tea. During which we shared stories of how we met our spouses, what our best first date was and our advice for the next generation.
The day came to a close with the activities team visiting each resident to deliver a valentine gift bag containing heart shaped chocolates and sweets and to wish all a happy Valentine’s Day.
The same valentines gifts were also delivered to our staff who deserve all the love in the world for helping to make our day special and they were on display in reception for all families and visitors in the home to take one with them.
We hope everyone felt the love this Valentine’s Day.
Happy Birthday 'Geoffrey'
Today we wished Geoffrey a very Happy Birthday! Geoffrey was treated to a homemade cake from our kitchen team and all the staff visited him throughout the day to sing to him and wish him a very happy birthday.
Virtual Flower Arranging with Florist
Today we joined florist Kathryn Delve for a virtual flower arranging session over zoom. Kathryn demonstrated how to create beautiful table displays in preparation for Valentine’s Day. We joined along with the creations at the same time adding roses and carnations to our displays.
Kathryn commented “delivering fun workshops is absolutely the best part of my job. I love helping people create something beautiful and seeing how much pleasure they gain from the experience!” We were thrilled with our displays and have placed them around the home for all to enjoy in the run up to Valentine’s Day.
