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
St Gregs Christmas Stall
We have had a very busy and merry afternoon selling handmade Christmas crafts at our stall, eating mince pies and entering raffle draws at the local school fete.
All our hard work certainly paid off and all donations made will be going to Alzheimer’s Society
Elf Day at Oxford Beaumont
Today staff and residents have been channeling their inner s-elf!
We enjoyed dressing up and were busy finalising crafts and gifts in the workshop for tomorrows stall at St. Gregory’s school!
Of course the day wasn’t just about fancy dress and having fun (although we certainly had plenty of that!) but was also about raising awareness and funds for an amazing charity, Alzheimer’s Society.
Christmas Fair Preparations
This week our residents have been busy expressing their creativity, making Christmas cards and crafts to sell at St. Gregory’s School Christmas Fete this Saturday!
The residents enjoyed creating gifts for the young people and spreading their festive cheer.
Guide Dog Barclay delights
Oxford Beaumont had a wonderful visit this morning from Sonia and her Guide dog, Barclay!
Sonia chatted to our residents who were fascinated to learn about Barclay’s exceptional skills and his loyal companionship in the way he supports Sonia to carry out her daily tasks.
Residents and staff loved meeting the new furry friend and feeding him a treat for being so well behaved!
Keeping History Alive
So todays topic at history club was philosophy. Residents enjoyed discussing different values, meanings and quotes that we have as individuals and what we believe in is right or wrong.
In a creative way the residents did different words on paper and each individual had to do a statement questions from them. One resident said she really enjoyed the different answers and preferences from everyone.
Having Fun Outside
As the sun was shining and the skies are blue the residents had a delightful stroll around the gardens of the home. #barchester100hoursoutside
Also outside the residents enjoyed a ball exercise which is great for physical and mental well being.
