Activities at Epsom Beaumont Care Home
At Epsom Beaumont, the daily activities always aim to be enjoyable for all. Our Activities Coordinator is constantly working to mentally and physically stimulate each resident and ensuring that our programme is define moulded to the wants and needs of those we support. We host weekly outings to many local coffee shops, and also some bigger trips to Brighton and the Brooklands Museum. Our outings tend to be a new and exciting experience for residents, but are sometimes repeated for those who could not make the trip the first time. The activity schedule changes weekly, but there are some regularities, such as our crossword and bar nights, where families are invited to join their loved ones for a social evening. Activities are one of the most important aspects of a care home and we are proud to say we have a dedicated Activities Coordinator who is supported by all of the care team to really make it successful. We have received excellent feedback from residents and relatives, which only makes our bond with them stronger.
Louisa Capaldi
I always said when I started working I wanted to have a rewarding job that puts a smile on people’s faces and makes their day just that little bit brighter! I started working in the care sector as a hospitality Assistant, and then became a carer and then the activities coordinator. I really enjoy getting the residents up and moving, and getting active. I enjoy learning new things about the residents and doing meaningful activities with them that they enjoy and benefit from.
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
Life at Epsom Beaumont Care Home
Minibus Ride to Epsom Downs
Residents at Epsom Beaumont care home enjoyed going for a ride in the minibus to Epsom downs. Everyone kept warm with a nice cup of tea, and they enjoyed the beautiful views of Epsom Downs racecourse.
Madge said “It was so lovely to go out for a drive in our minibus and stop off and enjoy a hot drink while looking over the downs with my friends at Epsom Beaumont. We all had a lovely morning chatting and sharing our memories of Epsom Downs.”
Conquest Art Group
We enjoy going to the Conquest Art Group in Stoneleigh, which is a group that aims to encourage people to get creative and develop their artistic skills in a friendly atmosphere. The group meet every Monday from 2pm-4pm at Stoneleigh Methodist Church, where they have the opportunity to get creative while enjoying some company along with cups of tea and cake.
Cliff, a resident at Epsom Beaumont, said “I have really been enjoying coming along to the Conquest Art Group, socialising with people in the community and painting, drawing and making cards. I always enjoy and look forward to going to the conquest art group”
There's always a shot, you just have to find it!
We went out for a lovely lunch at Epsom Social Club and were surprised to bump into local snooker player, Jimmy White! Jimmy White MBE is a professional snooker player who has won four senior World titles. We were even lucky enough to have our picture taken with the ‘whirlwind’ snooker player.
David, a resident at Epsom Beaumont, said “I was enjoying my lunch at the social club, and then spotted Jimmy White! I couldn’t believe it! I was delighted to be able to have a picture with him, what a lovely genuine man he is, and what a great afternoon we had”.
