Celia Palmer
I’m Celia and I’m the Activity coordinator here at Edgbaston Beaumont. I previously worked as an activity coordinator in a hostel and am enjoying the shift into the residential setting. I have an arts background so enjoy painting and drawing in my spare time, which hopefully I can share my love for with the residents here. I also enjoy reading, travel, live music and looking after my cats! And copious amounts of tea.

Life at Edgbaston Beaumont Care Home
Christmas Bauble Making
Residents have been enjoying getting in the festive spirit at Edgbaston Beaumont with Christmas card and bauble making.
The home is looking beautiful with all the Christmas decorations out and the personalised baubles are a sweet addition to their own spaces.
Crafts are a great way of encouraging individual creativity and providing fun stimulation for the residents.
Autumn Craft Fair
Residents and families recently enjoyed attending our lovely craft fair. We had both resident and local stallholders selling crafts and displaying their lovely work. Our head chef rustled up some lovely cakes and residents enjoyed some decadent hot chocolates! The afternoon was topped off by a lovely performance from singer Imogen Mansfield and our regular exercise session with James.
Lighthouse Keeper
Residents recently enjoyed an interesting talk about lighthouse keepers, given by Mark Lewis. Mark is the son of a past resident at Edgbaston Beaumont, and was keen to come in to treat the residents to one of his talks.
The residents were fascinated as he spoke about the history of lighthouse keepers in the UK and their day to day lives. One of our residents even spoke about her brother who used to be a lighthouse keeper! We look forward to Mark visiting again soon.
Anamaria Gheorghe
Ana joined Barchester initially as a bank carer in April 2024, but soon became a permanent member of staff. Ana is a dedicated carer, and is a well respected member of the care team, praised by the residents and her colleagues, always going the extra mile.
Emergency Services Day
Residents recently enjoyed a visit from Bournbrook Fire Brigade as part of Emergency Services Day. A few members of the department came in to join residents for breakfast cooked by our wonderful kitchen staff, and provided some great advice on fire safety within the home. We greatly appreciate our local services and emergency service staff are always welcome here for a hot drink and rest.
Alpaca Visit
Recently we had a lovely visit at the home from Prancer the alpaca courtesy of Fitnniss, a local organisation dedicated to enhancing the wellbeing of vulnerable individuals. The team brought Prancer in on a sunny afternoon and the residents absolutely loved having him in our garden and learning all about these special animals. They even got to enjoy feeding him and touching his wonderfully soft fur!
