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.

Life at Epsom Beaumont Care Home
Special Dog Visit
Mrs. Coleman misses her dog, Millie, that is back at home. Her daughter brings Millie into visit. Mrs. Coleman loves dogs and has had many of her own in the past. Mrs. Coleman was very keen to help look after bob and enjoyed giving Bob a walk around Epsom Beaumont. She helped feed and water him too! It was a real treat!
Thanksgiving Celebrations
Residents, staff, relatives and visitors got together on Thanksgiving to create a ‘thankful tree’ we spent time gathering things from the garden then made our own card hearts to write what we are thankful for, we then hung it on the tree leaving an envelope for people to add what they’re thankful for!
They had explained it was a good time to think about things that really matter to people and this world!
Bumblebees: The Grand Opening
We were delightfully surprised to see our Deputy Mayor of Epsom and Ewell, Councillor Humphrey Reynolds, visiting the home to open our new Bumblebees club.
Bumblebees is our first toddler group club that aims to bring the generations together. Parents and toddlers from Epsom will be able to enjoy some time together to interact with our residents and have some fun.
Residents Enjoy Smart TV
We have just installed a smart TV in our library, so we have access to YouTube now and many other apps which is great! Our residents can now watch documentaries, look at countries and lots of other things.
Mrs Marriage is from Italy and hasn’t been there for over 30 years and she asked to see her home town, Palmanova, where she met her husband and got married.
Due to have a big screen she was able to see it better than she would on a normal screen. She was very emotional and extremely happy to be able to see her home town again. It brought tears of joy to her eyes and she shared some fabulous stories of her life!
Flavoured Water
Mrs. Wilkins has always liked to stay healthy and fit, one afternoon we were sitting in the garden, I had offered to bring out lots of different fruits to cut up and eat, Mrs. Wilkins had suggested we make our own flavoured water also by cutting the fruit up and leaving them in the water jugs for the fruit flavours to be soaked in.
It was a great idea. She had also suggested to be blindfolded and to guess which fruit they are eating! Great idea for another great activity.
Pizza, Anyone?
Mrs. Marriage, who is from, Italy, was excited to get her hands stuck in. She used to cook a lot, making everything from scratch. She explained that it felt good to be making food like this again. It brought back good memories she had with her husband and children.
