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
Northamptonshire Fire Service visit Brampton View
We had a very informative and fun afternoon with Northamptonshire Fire Service last week.
We got to experience first hand what it is like to be a firefighter as we had a trial with the hose! We also looked through all the kit that they have to carry with them to be prepared for the diverse range of emergencies that they attend.
A fabulous afternoon and we all feel extremely safe knowing that they are looking after us! Thank you so much to the crew who gave up their time to come and see us!
Lucia’s Tiny Farm
What better way to brighten a cold week than our visit from Lucia and her tiny farm!
We enjoyed meeting a chicken, rabbits, Guinea pigs, puppy and much more. They bring a smile to everyone around the home.
Flower Arranging
We spent a wonderful afternoon flower arranging. The residents got to choose from a selection of flowers and put together their own arrangements and then decided where they wanted the arrangements to go. Many chose a communal area so that all could enjoy them.
The activity was a huge success and got us thinking about what we want on our Christmas tables!
Celebrating Grandparents Day
We celebrated Grandparents Day in style here at Brampton View with an afternoon of music from Steve O and our residents all received a handmade card from the children at the local primary school. We were all touched by the effort they went to and the cards will be treasured.
Culture Day
This week both staff and residents came together to celebrate our Culture Day! We spent the morning sharing places we have travelled to and the cultures we have experienced. Our staff members shared a little about their home countries and we got to learn more about their traditions.
After lunch we went around the world with our taste buds and attempted to guess where all the foods we sampled had originated from. Some were more popular than others but we visited Jamaica, Bangladesh, Poland, China and many more!
We have also started the Brampton View Community map. We have begun marking off all the places we have visited, if you would like to add your destinations to the map then please speak to a member of staff.
Macmillan Coffee Afternoon
Huge thank you to all who attended and donated to our Macmillan afternoon! We spent time eating cake and listening to Bob performing for us all.
There still time to donate so if you wish to then please speak to a member of staff at Brampton View.
