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
Birthday Cupcakes
Everyone gets their favourite cakes on their birthday at Brampton View - today's was pink cupcakes. Delicious!
Decorating some plant pots
We have been painting some wooden plant pots at Brampton view. The sections all lie flat making it easy to add a personal design, and then they fit together to make a cube for a pretty plant. We discovered we have some very creative residents!
Hello little guinea pigs!
We recently welcomed a family of therapy guinea pigs to meet residents of Brampton View's memory lane community. Stroking animals is very relaxing and is known to reduce anxiety so we especially like to welcome therapy pets to visit residents living with dementia. These little furries loved the attention from our residents and nibbled on snacks of celery and carrot.
Fiona leads us in a singalong
We were delighted to welcome Fiona Harrison back to Brampton View to lead us in a singalong of old time favourites. Fiona is well known to Barchester Care Homes in the area and is a regular entertainer. David and all the residents were so pleased to see her again.
Retrospective Music Event
Our fantastic entertainers treated Brampton View residents to an afternoon of music from days gone by including wartime and post-war songs, and some Elvis - a little less conversation, a little more action, please!
Pride in our diversity
Brampton View care home joined with other Barchester homes in Northamptonshire to support Northampton Pride Festival last weekend. We had a stall promoting Barchester’s person-centred approach to meeting the diverse support needs of people in later life. It was a fun day on the Market Square with food, games, music and lots of colour.
