Activities at Bushey House Beaumont Care Home

Activities are an integral part of life at our care home. We want to ensure that the people we support have as much fun as possible during their time with us, so it’s important that our activities programme is created with the interests of residents in mind. Our skilled Activities Coordinators bring a certain uniqueness to the home that can’t be found anywhere else, and which is reflected in the activities they organise.

Tina Stovey

Activities Lead /Diversity Champion

I started working at Bushey House Beaumont in 2022 in an activities role that I absolutely love. There are very few jobs that offer the daily satisfaction and fulfilment that mine does. I am delighted to be able to play my part in helping to bring joy and laughter into our residents’ daily lives and offer them an interesting choice of events to do just that.

Life at Bushey House Beaumont Care Home

Spring arts and crafts fun

Residents at Bushey House had a taste of spring by enjoying an art class painting some flowers. Each resident chose their own paints to work with and created some lovely spring art for their rooms.

Valentine's afternoon tea

Love was in the air as residents and members of the community celebrated Valentine's Day with live music and exquisite cakes made by our regional head chef, Avni, and his team. We hold Community Afternoon Teas every month including live music. 

Bunnies at Bushey House

Kelly from Performing Pets, one of our regular visitors, brought some beautiful bunnies to Bushey House this week to the delight of our residents. Everyone enjoyed holding and stroking the rabbits who seemed to enjoy all the attention.

Chinese New Year Arts and Crafts

Residents enjoyed an art activity last week to celebrate the Chinese year of the snake. Each resident painted their own unique style onto a template which, once dry, we cut out and made into a mobile for them to hang in their rooms. Our residents enjoy lots of different arts and crafts classes suitable for all and find the classes very relaxing and therapeutic .

Scam prevention talk

Local PCSO, Steven Querns, and his colleague Tommy took time out of their busy schedule to provide expert advice for our residents on how to spot and avoid scams. Our residents shared stories of experiences they have had of being targeted. Everyone found the session helpful and informative and we look forward to seeing Steven and his colleagues regularly at Bushey House to help keep our residents vigilant.

 

Resident Ambassador enjoys trip to model railway club

Our Resident Ambassador, Jeremy Jacobs, enjoyed a visit to the South West Herts model railway club . Jeremy is 87 and a long time fan of model railways. He was thrilled to meet the club members and see their amazing intricate railway models. Jeremy shared his thoughts saying "I've had a passion for model railways for many years but it's difficult for me to build my own now that I have a disability. It made my day to visit the club and meet everyone. I'm looking forward to seeing their exhibition in May!"
