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
Bunnies and bubbles
Thank you very much to local charity, Peak Empower, for a fabulous donation of chocolate rabbits and toiletries for the care and nursing staff at Brampton View. The donation included enough men's and women's toiletry bags for everyone to have one, with an assortment of shower and cosmetic items. Thank you Saffy and friends at Peak Empower - it was very kind of you to think of us and really appreciated by Francesca and her colleagues on the residential community. Here comes pamper night!
Homemade cookies to share
This week the Brampton View Activities Team organised a cookery session for residents on our Memory Lane community. Pat made delicious chocolate chip cookies to share with friends.
National Carers' Week celebrations
In June we celebrated national Carers' Week and Pat showed the appreciation of everyone at Brampton View by delivering cakes to our wonderful care teams. This annual special week is so important for reminding people of the dedication of people working in the sector who provide care, compassion and kindness to those who need it. THANK YOU - you're all doing a fabulous job.
Competitive bowling on the Wii
Residents have been getting competitive in the lounge, playing the bowling game on the Brampton View Wii. It's a great way keep fit and have fun with friends, while still social distancing.
Meet our new (feathered) residents
We are delighted that five blue tit chicks have hatched in a bird box in the Memory Lane courtyard at Brampton View. While the country has been in lock down our Activities Team has supported residents to spend more time than usual enjoying our outdoor spaces, and we're pleased the wildlife appreciates it too. We have bird feeders all around our gardens and views of rolling countryside making this a lovely environment for birds, rabbits, squirrels and other creatures. We all look forward to seeing the fledglings leave their box soon.
Delicious desserts
Head Chef, Ian, and his team create delicious desserts and treats every day. Here is a selection from the past week. Mmmm...
