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 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!
Sports Day Success
In honour of the current Olympics in Paris Oxford Beaumont Care Community decided to host their very own Olympics.
The morning consisted of resident games which included shooting, basketball and Frisbee! After totalling up the scores from each event the gold medal was awarded to 98 year old Marjorie!
Following the residents lead, staff took to the field for volleyball and football matches. Residents and loved ones joined to spectate and cheer them all on!
After a fun and active day the hospitality team had prepared an evening tea party for everyone to enjoy in the garden.
It was a brilliant day and great to see so many involved. One resident said she would like there to be regular staff games for them to watch!
A Wholesome Trip Out…
Taking full advantage of the beautiful summer’s day, we headed out to the Island Farm Donkey Sanctuary near Wallingford to meet some four-legged friends!
The sanctuary is home to over 120 donkeys so there were plenty of them to meet! After some petting and a walk around the farm everyone stopped to enjoy a refreshing drink and an ice-cream at the café.
It was a lovely morning out and we hope the good weather continues for more outdoor trips!
