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
Brampton Celebrates National Beer Day
You better beer-lieve that residents at Brampton View Care Home in Northampton, were more than hoppy to raise a glass, and sample some top craft ales, bitters and lagers, in celebration of National Beer Day on June 15th.
The hospitality team at Brampton View Care Home set up a bar for a real pub experience and brought in a range of brew-tiful British ales for residents to sample. Residents and their visitors enjoyed a beer tasting and learning about the history of beer whilst they sampled the different craft ales, bitters and lagers.
Mo Masedi, General Manager at the home, said: “We love socialising and celebrating all kinds of events, it is wonderful to be able to invite family and friends into our garden to join in fun activities like this. National Beer Day is a day that the residents really enjoy, who doesn’t love a cold beer on a warm summer’s day!”
Brampton's First financial Advice Clinic
This week saw the beginning of our series of Financial Advice Clinics!

The session was very beneficial to all who attended and everyone who Michael spoke to during his time with us.
Next Thursday Michael will be returning to provide information on wills. This event is open to all so please pop along if you have questions.
The Deep comes to Brampton
A big thank you to The Deep for our virtual tour of their fantastic aquarium in Hull.
We had a tour of the Endless Ocean exhibit narrated by Kirsty one of the aquariums tour guides.
Our residents found the experience extremely informative and very relaxing watching all the fish swim past! We even had a smile from a sting ray!
Local Primary School Visits Residents
This week our visit from Kingsthorpe Grove Primary took a bit of a musical turn!
The children brought their new disco glow sticks with them and we each took it in turns to share music with each other. From nursery rhymes with the children to reminiscing songs for D Day 80th anniversary.
Restore Northampton Charity
This week Deborah from Restore Northampton paid a visit to our wonderful Doreen to collect handmade knitted baby blankets, hats and mittens for the baby boutique at Restore!
After staff from the home visited Restore Northampton to see the services they provide for the community Doreen wanted to help out in anyway she could!
Being an avid knitter for most of her life Doreen has been spending time knitting baby items for friends and family and donating them to charity. When she was told of the baby boutique at Restore which provides clothes and baby items free of charge for those in need she was keen to donate some of her sets.
On arrival Deborah and Doreen chatted about Restore and how thrilled everyone would be with the beautiful creations! Deborah commented “It’s wonderful for mums to know that someone is thinking about them and willing to spend the time to create something so precious for their little one.”
Doreen was happy to chat to Deborah about her life and they have shared interests in music and literature. Doreen is currently working on the next set of baby items which she is hoping to deliver herself to Restore Northampton to see all the good work they do firsthand!
