Activities at Chorleywood Beaumont Care Home

Our Activities Coordinators are constantly striving to mentally and physically stimulate those we support by organising group and individual activities for anyone and everyone to participate in. There are regular weekly outings in the minibus to nearby places of interest including the local theatre and Cathedral's as well as visits from PAT dogs, visiting zoos, musicians and entertainers. We also host evenings such as our Pizza & Quiz Night that we encourage relatives to come to. Activities are one of the most important aspects of a care home, so it is essential that our team are dedicated to ensuring that residents are entertained, and that life at Chorleywood Beaumont Care Community is fun and active.

Life at Chorleywood Beaumont Care Home

Trip out to Chorleywood Village

Residents at Chorleywood Beaumont, hopped on the mini bus and set off to visit Chorleywood village. We had a wander round the village shops. Then a drive to the cricket club where we went for a lovely nature walk along the common on to Christchurch for a nice cuppa with the vicar and his fantastic team. 

Chorleywood Beaumont's marks Cornish Pasty Week.

Staff at Barchester Healthcare’s Chorleywood Beaumont care home in Chorleywood delivered delicious home baked Cornish pasties to The Royal Voluntary Service Lunch Club to mark Cornish Pasty Week.

The Royal Voluntary Service Lunch Club has been going for over 30 years and offers local people in the community a hot lunch and companionship on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of every month at the Bullsland Hall.

Nick Wrapson, General Manager, and Samantha Neal, Customer Relationship Manager at Chorleywood Beaumont delivered goody bags and freshly baked Cornish pasties prepared by the chef and the team at Chorleywood Beaumont to show their appreciation of the local community.

Nick Wrapson said: “We are very proud of our community and always looking for ways to ensure we stay connected within our local community groups. Everyone likes a pasty and so we thought it was a great opportunity to show our appreciation to our neighbours and also say thank you to those that support us and volunteer with us.”

Valentine Lunch with friends.

Residents at Chorleywood Beaumont had a wonderful time celebrating Valentines day. There was plenty of chocolate and fizz to be had. We enjoyed entertainment in the lounge and games in the cafe and the Head Chef and his team prepared a delicious Valentines lunch. 

Health and wellbeing session with the Tottenham Hotspurs foundation.

Chorleywood Beaumont was delighted to host Adam Millar from The Tottenham Hotspurs foundation discussing Health and Wellbeing and how we can make positive change.

Adam inspired residents and staff to make positive comments to each other - comments as to “how nice you look! “ The day looks to wonderful “ a positive remark will bring a positive reaction. For a emotional well-being.

Then our residents were encouraged to join in some exercises for physical well-being.

We must not forget mental well-being - being with friends, friendly staff, positive family remarks!

Questions were asked what will you do today to make you happy?

Singing, making someone smile, speaking to someone with nice words, sitting with someone who are on there own.

Playing the piano!

A talented bunch at Chorleywood!

Ann a residents at Chorleywood enjoys playing on the piano in out beautiful lounge. Ann said "it’s something she learnt at school at a very young age and she’s never forgotten." “ Chopsticks! “

So proud to know Anne who at 95 knew the original computers in 1945! They filled a room and she would write the algorithmic programming ! Sudoku in comparison is no match says Ann.

Getting ready for spring in the garden.

Its a brand new month and its starting to feel like spring is on the way. Residents went for a lovely stroll around Chorleywood Beaumont's beautiful gardens. We saw some birds and local wild life and the new bulbs planted by the gardening club.

Fresh air and exercise was thirsty work so we headed back for a Sherry and a quiz to finish the afternoon.
