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

In loving memory of the Queen.

In honour of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Bushey House Beaumont took the time to commemorate her and pay our tributes to the Royal Family.

In loving memory of the Queen, we arranged our own Memorial Area with candles and photos of the Queen, where staff, residents, families and friends can visit.

Residents and Tina from our lifestyle created a book of photos of the Queen, residents and staff have written condolences messages, shared their memories and comments of gratitude. Once completed we will send this beautiful book to the Royal Family to show our support.

For many of our residents, the Queen represented comfort, hope and peace over the past seven decades of her sovereignty, and she will be sorely missed.

Pet therapy is an important part of our activities program at Bushey House. Multiple studies have found that being around animals is a huge mood booster and reduce the risk of developing depression. Other studies have found that dogs in particular can support in decreasing the feelings of anxiety and sadness as well as increasing physical activity.
