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
Halloween Celebrations
Here at the Oxford Beaumont we had a spooktacular day getting into the Halloween spirit!
We always love an opportunity to get dressed up and Halloween was the perfect occasion to find out our broomsticks and dust off our hats!
Residents had fun carving pumpkins to display around the home and enjoyed a game of Halloween Bingo, along with trying some scary snacks…!
2024 Care Awards
Staff, residents and loved ones joined together to watch the livestreaming of the Barchester Care Awards which took place in Manchester!
As a community we are incredibly proud to announce that one of our team was a winner!
CONGRATULATIONS to Paulina who was awarded ‘Home Administrator of the Year!!!’
The recognition was truly deserved and a brilliant achievement to have made! There are over 250 homes within Barchester and we couldn’t be prouder.
Bonfire Night
Residents had a sparkling time celebrating Bonfire Night.
The celebrations started with a banging performance from pianist Tim Valentine in the lounge which was followed by hot chocolate, served with cream and marshmallows!
Then staff and residents enjoyed lighting sparklers in the garden whilst chatting and sharing memories about celebrating the occasion with families and friends.
Halloween Roadshow with Zoolab!
We always love to welcome animals into the home here at Oxford Beaumont but this week we had a visit from some very different types of animals!
With Halloween fast approaching we felt it was appropriate to meet a few creepy crawlies with the help of animal handler expert, Charlie.
Residents were able to meet a range of animals such as a giant African snail, a tranantula, a cockroach, a stick insect and a very friendly snake called Olaf!
The session was fun, interactive as well as being educational! We discussed the many different qualities and impressive adaptations the animals can make in order to survive in the wild whilst residents wre able to hold some of them!
Art Discussion Group
Another fantastic afternoon with Volunteer Chris.
Chris visits the home regualarly to lead interesting and interactive talks on famous artists and their paintings. On his most recent talk we discussed Edward Hopper and explored some of his remarkable art collection. The talk provided opportunities for residents to open up discussions and theories about the paintings as well Hopper himself!
A Day of Pampering
We welcomed back our lovely Beautican Charlie, who visits the home about every six weeks to provide relaxing pamper treatments for residents.
Charlie not only offers a range of beauty treatments but also spends valuble time with residents individually by chatting and catching up. These individual interactions have often been proven to enhance moods, well-being and self-steem amongst those who spend time with Charlie and receive a very well-deserved pamper session!
We look forward to her next visit!
