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.

My name is Emma. I am the Activities Lead here at Brampton View. I joined the home in 2023 and I bring lots of new and exciting ideas to the role.
Having worked in the role before I am passionate about bringing a smile to all our residents faces and ensuring they make the most of their time here with us.

Life at Brampton View Care Home
Private Christmas Dining
Today we hosted a private dining experience for residents and family. We welcomed the family into the home to have a Christmas meal with their relatives and spend the afternoon together. The kitchen team served a full Christmas menu for the event and received high praise prior to the big day ahead! If you would like to book a private dining experience then please contact us here at Brampton View.
Virtual Reality Christmas Experiences
This week we were treated to a virtual reality experience with a Christmas twist. We were able to experience riding through the snow on a Christmas sleigh with Father Christmas, Reindeers and Christmas Church Services. All these experiences are able to be brought to us with the magic of a virtual reality headset from the comfort of our seats! What will we be able to experience next year?
Carolling Church Service
Our local church from Kingsthorpe parish visited us this week for a carolling church service. We spent the evening singing along to classic carols and listening to the Christmas story and prayers. The minister met the residents who attended and learnt about their lives and the residents commented that it was lovely to have the service brought to them.
Children’s Carol Service
Christmas spirits were well and truly raised this week with a visit from the local primary school to sing Christmas carols. After the performance the children handed out flowers to the residents in attendance and we then surprised them with a visit from Father Christmas. The children were then invited to the grotto to see if they had been naughty or nice and received a little gift if they were on the nice list, thankfully they all were! We can't wait for our next visit.
Christmas Fete
Staff, residents, relatives and the local community came together at Brampton View to enjoy a wonderful Christmas Fete. There were all kinds of stalls on offer manned by volunteers, friends and family and lots of local stall holders came along to sell their wares too. There were delicious mince pies, lovely craft items, fabulous knitwear, jewellery and collectables, the list goes on! The team at Brampton View care home would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who either manned a stall, donated a raffle prize or who came along to support the home.
Christmas Treat Tasting
What better for a Friday afternoon than to spend time taste testing all the Christmas food available. Residents spent time tasting Christmas cake, stolen, after eights, turkey flavoured crisps and much more. They commented that it was a nice variety of food to try and it all brought back memories of previous Christmases. We are now thinking of ideas for our next taste testing!
