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.
Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies

Keeping fit at Bushey Beaumont
Our residents love to fit, whatever their abilities. We hold weekly yoga and music and movement classes which are always well attended.
Residents agree that as well as being great fun, they also see the benefits with improved balance, better flexibility and well being.
St Hildas Poetry Visit
St Hildas School paid us another visit , with a poetry recital. They also presented all the residents with beautiful hand made flowers as part of Empathy Week.
These visits are such a special event for our residents and pupils and its a joy to see so many smiling faces.
Green Fingers
The sun has been out and our green fingered residents have been busy with the gardening club.
A few weeks ago some seeds and plants were sown and now they have grown so large they have had to be moved to our new raised planters.
We can't wait to try our first crop of Bushey Beaumont tomatoes.
Animal Therapy
Animal therapy is one of the cornerstones of our life enrichment programme at Bushey House Beaumont and we love having new animals visit on a regular basis.
Whilst we have regular visits from Performing Pets and it is always wonderful when they bring in one of their farm animals. This week we had a visit from some adorable baby bunnies who we all fell in love with and wanted to keep.
Bushey House Gardening Club
Many of our residents are keen gardeners and Tina our activities dynamo has organised weekly gardening sessions at Bushey House Beaumont. They planted a varied of seeds and we are beginning to see the first signs of growth.
