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.

Afternoon at the Movies

At Brampton View our residents enjoy a movie afternoon with delicious popcorn, chocolate and of course hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows. Edwards Scissorhands classic movie went down a treat as the selected movie.

At Brampton View Care home we support our residents to continue with the hobbies they enjoy. Through sharing the cinema experience residents can enjoy the social aspect of their favourite movies and plan for the next cinema afternoon.

Live Entertainment from Lesley Ann

Our Residents and staff were once again treated to the lovely Lesley Ann Vocalist Entertainer. Beautifully dressed in her glitzy dress and giving us all a high energy performance she is always a hit here at Brampton View Care Home.

Lesley is so enthusiastic and engages with each individual resident, encouraging clapping of hands, joining in with the singing with music that caters to generation and ending with traditional Christmas songs. The residents showed their appreciation through singing along, stamping feet, tapping legs and singing the lyrics to the well-known songs.

One of the cornerstones of our life enrichment program is live musical entertainment. Resident involvement in choosing genres along with feedback after each performance means that we are able to constantly improve our activities calendar.

Christmas Advent Calendar

Our residents enjoy the taking part of opening the calendar each day and finding the prize behind it.

The tradition of the opening the little doors on a Christmas Advent Calendar is one of the most loved activities on the countdown to Christmas Day and often given as a gift. Originally this countdown was marked by lighting candles or chalk numbers and soon followed by wooden calendars, then printed calendars with small pictures and now the most loved chocolate treats.

Traditional & cultural celebrations and events are just some of the ways that we ensure the residents at Brampton View Care home remain connected, provides understanding, inclusion and enjoyment, which promotes happiness.

Art Therapy on Memory Lane

Our residents enjoyed an afternoon of creative and expressional painting whilst the winter sun shone through from the garden.

Did you know that being creative can be helpful in gaining an insight to how someone living with dementia may be feeling? Having stimulating group time may prompt communication, provides social benefits and a better feeling of community.

Our Activities Team is dedicated to ensuring that we organise meaningful events that encourage and stimulate our residents.

Classical music with King and Rackham Duo

Residents celebrated King Charles Birthday with cup cakes made from our own hospitality team and enjoyed an afternoon of live entertainment.

The afternoon saw residents relaxing with the appropriately named King and Rackham Duo who treated us to renditions of our favourite classical compositions including Mozart and Bach! They shared the history behind the music and encouraged reminiscence from all who attended. It was evident from the passion and enjoyment in the faces of our residents and staff that this music touched us all.
