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
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.
Armchair Sports
Who knew you could play so many sports from the comfort of your chair! Thanks to Janja at Rise we had an afternoon of Rugby, Hockey and Tennis!
Our competitive sides certainly came out as the scores started adding up. We were also put to the test with our sports general knowledge in a quiz between games. We were absolutely exhausted afterwards but couldn’t stop laughing the whole way through.
Lucia and her tiny farm
Today we enjoyed our monthly visit from Lucia and her tiny farm. The smiles speak for themselves. Did you know spending time with our furry friends has been proven to reduce anxiety, improve your mood and encourage communication! We can’t wait for the next visit to see which animals we will be surprised with!
