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
Remembrance day
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.”
This weekend we have commentated Remembrance Day here at Brampton View. We have created displays and sang along to songs with Fiona. We honoured the silence and shared our memories along with raising money for the Royal British Legion via their Poppy Appeal. We understand the importance of keeping the memories alive.”
Remember, Remember the 5th of November
Staff and residents at Brampton View Care Home in Northampton celebrated Bonfire Night with a bang this November 4th when they wrapped up warm to gather in the garden to watch a fantastic firework display and enjoy lots of seasonal treats. The residents enjoyed traditional bonfire night treats, including jacket potatoes, hot dogs, treacle toffee cakes beautifully prepared by the head chef Glenn Coombs.
Brampton View Presents Cheque to Local Charity
Brampton View care home in Northampton recently presented Doddridge Community Centre with a cheque for £500 to be put towards the cost of transport to enable members to attend this centre to improve their lives. Doddridge Community Centre provides a wide range of facilities and support to the local community and voluntary groups and enterprises. The grant had been awarded by Barchester’s Charitable Foundation, a charity that helps older people and adults with a disability or mental health problems across England, Scotland and Wales by offering grants to help people connect or re-connect with others in their local community.
Pumpkin carving
It’s not Halloween until you have carved a face into a pumpkin, we had great fun getting our hands messy with the insides and deciding what design to put on them.
It’s not too late to enter our carving competition, please send us your photos and the best one will win a prize!
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.
