Activities at Epsom Beaumont Care Home

Every month we host an intergenerational movement to music class with Baby Boppers by Bella &Boo. Local Mums, Dads and their babies come along to Epsom Beaumont Care Home to enjoy singing and music with the residents at the home. This month’s session took place on Thursday 14th March, The group enjoyed singing along with residents to their favourite songs such as the wheels on the bus and five little ducks. Everyone especially enjoys when Samantha, who runs the Mum&baby group brings out the bubble machine! Louisa, Activity Coordinator said “it’s always so lovely when the Mum&Baby Group visit us all, the residents and staff always enjoy meeting the local Mums, Dads and their babies and having a cuddle. We look forward to our Easter session next month!

For nutrition and hydration week local nutritional therapist Jenny from ImmunoNutrition came to Epsom Beaumont Care Home to give a talk about digestion for residents and staff. The talk focussed on digestion and that good health starts with a healthy gut. During Jenny’s talk she covered an overview of different digestive health disorders and how they impact your life, what healthy digestion is, how the digestive system works and how the body breaks down and digests and absorbs food. She also covered the causes of digestive health concerns, symptoms that people can experience and how a nutritional therapist can help to support your digestive system and thereby your health.

Staff at Epsom Beaumont arranged a Mother’s Day Afternoon Tea for the residents and their relatives.

Alice, a resident at Epsom Beaumont said “it was so lovely for my Grandchildren to interact with all the different farm animals, the children were so excited to give the little piglet his milk.

Dementia Champion, Lema and Senior Carer Joanne were able to take the animals around the home to visit everyone, They couldn’t believe it when they walked in cradling a little piglet in their arms! What a fantastic afternoon, we can’t wait for Browells farm to come back soon.
