Activities at Oxford Beaumont Care Community
Our Activities Coordinators are committed to organising a mix of activities and events that cater to all tastes, which includes minibus outings to nearby places of interest and visits from animal trusts, local school choirs, musicians and entertainers. We also undertake one-to-one activities for residents who are unable to participate in group sessions, and encourage loved ones to join in whenever they can.

Life at Oxford Beaumont Care Community
Cards Club!
Sonya and her four-legged friend, Barkley, have recently been joining us once a week for a range of different card games, including Rummy and Trumps!
The club will run every week, and we are always open to new games to try!
A bit about Barkley: Barkley is a very friendly character who has been trained as a guide dog. Barkley loves meeting new people and when he is on duty he wears a special coat to remind himself that he is working!
Look out for Sonya and Barkley when you're next visiting the home!

Chocolate Galore!
Here at Oxford Beaumont we have been having fun testing out our new chocolate fountain… and it has been a GREAT success!
Residents enjoyed prepping different fruits, including strawberries, bananas and kiwis and then adding marshmallows, ready to be covered in chocolate and eaten for a tasty afternoon treat!
A Festive Week at Oxford Beaumont
Another busy week at Oxford Beaumont as we countdown to Christmas.
Festivities included a trip to a local garden centre, wreath and gingerbread house making as well as singing along to Christmas songs and carols with the help of our incredibly talented entertainers.
‘It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, everywhere you go…’
A Christmas Pantomime!
Tickled Pink Productions joined us for some morning entertainment, engaging with residents through songs, dance and chants!
It was a wonderful festive show, enabling residents to feel like they are at the theatre but in the comfort of the home!
The performers had great enthusiasm and residents expressed how much they enjoyed the show afterwards.
Disney Day!
At Oxford Beaumont we recently had a day celebrating all things Disney!
We reminisced about all our favourite stories, films and characters… and we even spotted a few around the home!
One of our favourite duos, the King and Rackham, joined us for a beautiful morning of classical tunes and entertainment.
The day was topped off with Disney songs and a glass of sherry and mince pies!
