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
Tickled Pink
Today we were treated to a Tickled Pink production of Wild Wild West. From the start it had us up and dancing! We sang our way through all the classic cowboy and western films such as seven brides for seven brothers, calamity jane and much more! It brought back many memories for us and we certainly loved getting involved with the story.
Sing and Shake with Sophie
This month we trialled a new activity ‘Sing & Shake with Sophie’ the activity involved singing and movement accompanied by a professional vocal coach to test our skills for a potential community choir. We had lots of fun singing scales and seeing how long we could hold notes for. We surprised ourselves with what we were capable of! We also guess the tune and played instruments along to backing music. We ended the session with some dancing to our favourite songs. There were smiles all around and we have been practising the scales since the session!
Box-ercise
Friday exercise classes took a different turn today when Michelle gave everyone a pair of boxing gloves, we certainly won’t be professional anytime soon but the laughter was contagious!
Supporting our local Food Bank
We are pleased to be supporting the local food bank to help those in need by providing emergency food. We are hopeful of support from staff, visitors and the local community.
Celebrating the King's Coronation
We had a fantastic Coronation weekend here at Brampton View. We watched the Coronation live and then enjoyed the same lunch as King Charles, prepared by our very own kitchen team. We finished the day with a singalong of the Best of British with Fiona. On Sunday we put our knowledge to the test with a Royal Family themed quiz.
