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.

Fantastic CQC Result at Bushey House

Bushey House Beaumont passed a recent Care Quality Commission inspection with an overall “Good” rating after being praised for a responsive, safe, effective, caring and well-led service.

The CQC inspected the home on 21st of November (the report was released on 17th December) and rated the home, run by Barchester Healthcare, as “Good” overall.

The report stated that, “Meal times were a social event and people enjoyed spending time and eating in the dining room. The food served on the day of the inspection was home cooked. Home cooking smells filled the dining room where tables were laid ready for lunch with tablecloth, drinks and napkins. Condiments were available”

In celebration of the rating and to thank each member of the team for their contributions to the home, each team member was presented with £100 gift voucher in appreciation of their hard work.

Natural History Museum

Recently we went to The Natural History Museum and the London Christmas lights. The journey was an adventure its self, we were stopped to allow the many vehicles, police escorts, including a helicopter, all on their way to the Nato Event being held back in Watford. “ See you back at home” one of the residents said in jest as they passed in central London. The Natural History Museum had a beautiful Christmas scene outside which we could not help but be tempted to explore. After a spot of lunch and viewing the dinosaurs, we headed off to see the Christmas lights, passing Harrods and the hustle and bustle of London that brought back many fond memories for our socialite residents. We are already planning our next outing with the rest of the residents!
