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
A happy 90th birthday for Joy
We couldn’t give Joy a big party this year but we still made her day special. She had a hair and nails makeover first thing, then we all sang ‘Happy Birthday’. She enjoyed a Skype call with her daughter, Janet, and later a visit from her daughter, Jill, and her granddaughter. Joy received two birthday cakes - one from her family and one from Brampton View. It was a lovely day – Happy Birthday Joy!
Manicure day
Marjorie enjoyed her weekly pamper session at Brampton View thanks to the skills of our Carers and Activities Coordinators who like to make residents feel special. Marjorie’s hair and nails look beautiful.
Indoor ball games
Marjorie, Pam and Len enjoyed indoor ball games at Brampton View, winning points and having fun with friends.
Question time
Rosemary enjoyed respite care at Brampton View and loved taking part in our activities. This game involved throwing dice then answering a question corresponding to the number on the dice. It is fun and keeps us physically active and mentally alert.
Meet our Kitchen Team
Head Chef, Ian, and his team prepare delicious food to meet every resident’s nutritional needs, dietary preferences and swallowing ability. Ian (left) designs the menus and manages the kitchen team. Regina (centre) is one of our Dining Hosts, serving meals and assisting people with eating if required, to make sure they eat enough. Steve (right) is one of our Kitchen Assistants - he and the rest of the team chop, mix and cook plenty of food for everyone.
Joy gives thanks for her Covid vaccination
Joy is full of optimism now she and other residents at Brampton View have had their first Covid vaccinations. Joy has understandably been rather sad that she hasn’t been able to hug her daughters, and has also been worried about family and friends with their own health issues. However, she received her vaccination with no problems and is now full of hope that the national vaccination programme means she will see more of her family before long. Joy told us that she is thankful she lives at Brampton View where residents have remained Covid-free throughout the pandemic. She always appreciates the care she receives from the Brampton View team and added, “Christmas this year was very different, but staff and residents still made it lovely”.
