Activities at Brampton View Care Home

Staff, residents, relatives and the local community came together at Brampton View to enjoy a wonderful Christmas Fete. There were all kinds of stalls on offer manned by volunteers, friends and family and lots of local stall holders came along to sell their wares too.  There were delicious mince pies, lovely craft items, fabulous knitwear, jewellery and collectables, the list goes on! The team at Brampton View care home would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who either manned a stall, donated a raffle prize or who came along to support the home.

What better for a Friday afternoon than to spend time taste testing all the Christmas food available. Residents spent time tasting Christmas cake, stolen, after eights, turkey flavoured crisps and much more. They commented that it was a nice variety of food to try and it all brought back memories of previous Christmases. We are now thinking of ideas for our next taste testing!

Staff at Brampton View came to work in their pyjamas and slippers to help spread some Christmas cheer around the home. It worked well as the residents spent all day with smiles on their faces giggling at the staff. The residents have been coming up with ideas for themed days for next year as they have enjoyed the staff dressing up so much!

We had a wonderful visit from Lesley Ann & Katie Rose who spent time entertaining us this week with our favourite Christmas songs and carols! The residents always enjoy joining in with them and getting up for a dance alongside the girls! They put everyone in the Christmas spirit and left us feeling fabulous.

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.

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!
