We encourage our residents families to participate in all our activities, working alongside them to ensure we provide the best service possible here at Edgbaston Beaumont.
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 Cake Competition
This was our entry for the Barchester central division Christmas cake competition. This may be Chef Rosemary's finest work.
The Orchestra of the Swan
Music therapy is often used in memory care treatment to slow the decline of speech skills in those living with dementia. The Orchestra of the Swan returned to spend some quality time with our residents. Music therapy can inspire individuals who are non-verbal to communicate by singing or humming. It can also improve cognitive ability in older adults. Here at Edgbaston Beaumont, we welcome the Orchestra's visits; the residents really enjoy hearing and interacting with the live music.
Sarehole Mill
We had a trip to Sarehole Mill to celebrate Birmingham Heritage Week Residents also took the opportunity to put pencil to paper and continue their artwork here at the Mill.
In Memory Of
On Thursday 12th September, we held a balloon release in loving memory of all our friends and family who have passed away. This gives our residents time to remember in a positive way.
