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
Celebrating Burn's Night
We spent our morning reading some of Robert Burns classic poetry and sharing our thoughts of them. In the afternoon we enjoyed a Scottish snack taste testing with themed hats. We tested shortbread, Irn Bru, Scottish breakfast oat bars, oat cakes, tea cakes and much more.
Our taste buds were tingling and we shared many stories of our travels around Scotland and the beautiful scenery. We are looking forward to our next themed event!
Goodluck and Farewell; Amazing 'Amanda'
Today we said an emotional farewell to Amanda as she begins her retirement.
Amanda has been at Brampton View for over 7 years and said the moment she walked in the door the job felt so natural for her and that certainly shows.
She is a true carer and goes above and beyond to ensure the residents receive all that they need and live happy lives.
We gathered staff and residents today to show our thanks and enjoy some time with Amanda, we couldn’t let her leave without some gifts and a cake! There may have been a few tears.
We will miss her smiley face and we wish her the best with whatever comes next. Amanda has promised she will return to visit us and we will hold her to that!!
Open Day - All Welcome!
On Saturday 20th January we held our first open day of the year. We were excited to show off our beautiful home and meet potential new residents. Our General Manager Mo and Deputy Manager Elina were both on hand for the day to answer questions about our home and talk through available options.
Celebrating International Flower Day!
Residents spent the afternoon arranging beautiful displays to be put on show around the home for all to enjoy.
The activity promoted conversations of gardening and our favourite flowers. We are looking forward to some warmer weather to get out in the garden to add some colour!
Did you know flowers and gardening promote a psychological boost to wellbeing and are proven to make us smile! That was certainly the case here at Brampton View.
Pancake Practising
Ahead of pancake day next month our staff and residents had a trial of making pancakes with their very own pancake breakfast!
They chose the toppings they wanted whether that be the traditional lemon and sugar or getting a little more adventurous with chocolate and strawberries! We even had some successful pancake tossing.
By the time pancake day comes around we will be professionals.
Baking Club
Here at Brampton View we love to bake and decorate our own snacks. Last week we decorated biscuits and cakes to enjoy with a cup of tea in the afternoon. Residents thoroughly enjoyed the session and spent time reminiscing about baking at home and their most favourite sweet treats!
