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.

Life at Bushey House Beaumont Care Home
Air Ambulance lands at Bushey House
Residents and staff were all pleasantly surprised, when the Essex & Hertfordshire air ambulance landed in the garden at Bushey House.
The air ambulance had been called to a medical emergency which occurred at a nearby address and Bushey House was the closest space, with a large enough area to enable the helicopter to land safely, to attend the situation.
Our catering team were only too pleased to offer some hospitality. by serving the crew breakfast, comprising sausage and egg sandwiches and freshly brewed tea and coffee.
Residents watched with interest, as the air ambulance took off to return back to base.
Residents get taken for a cycle ride
Some of our residents had a fun afternoon cycling in Cassiobury Park. Watford cycle hub have specially adapted trishaws, where residents could feel they were once again riding a bike.
After a couple of laps, we enjoyed some refreshments in the local tea shop. We are planning to take some more residents out in the near future.
