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
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.

LA Singers 60s Concert
Residents enjoyed a 60s concert when the LA singers visited Bushey House. All our residents enjoyed singing along to the 60s music and one even got up to dance along to the twist. The L A singers always put on a themed concert for our residents and are a firm favourite at Bushey House.
Italian Lunch Trip
Residents enjoyed a lunch trip out to a new local Italian restaurant recently . Although our residents enjoy great food at Bushey house, some of them had expressed how much they missed going out for lunch and trying some new foods . We will be looking at other venues and taking more residents who would like this experience on trips out over the coming months.

We will be ending our week with a community cream tea, live music, cake sale and a raffle on Friday. We are raising money to support Barchester s Charitable Foundation.
Birds Come to Visit
Residents welcomed some very special visitors when our friends at Performing Pets brought some baby budgies in to see us .
