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
A Sweet Donation
At Oxford Beaumont, we have received these lovely sweets from the family of one of our residents. It was such a kind gesture!
Cake for the Queen
Residents at Oxford Beaumont had great fun decorating a cake to celebrate the Queen’s official birthday. The design was chosen by Janet, it was baked by Anna in the kitchen and Roger decorated it with cream. We had to stop Graham eating all the strawberries before it was finished!
We chose a design we could make with fruit, as we wanted to involve as many residents as possible, and those who weren’t able to help with the decoration enjoyed tasting the leftover berries afterwards!
Whilst decorating, everyone shared personal memories of the Royal Family, including Winnie, who has a wonderful photograph of a royal encounter at the opening of the Council Offices in Oxford, where she was a telephonist.
Keeping Fit
We are trying new ways to keep moving here at Oxford Beaumont and some of our residents have started to learn Tai Chi from videos on YouTube, which we can show on the televisions The Tai Chi sessions are usually full, and are relaxing, in addition to improving flexibility and strength. There is always a member of staff facilitating the sessions and helping the residents get as much benefit as possible, while ensuring that everything is safe.
Moments Full of Emotion
The Oxfordshire Fire Brigade visited the home on 30th April to show their support for all essential workers. These were moments full of emotions!
Fancy Dress Day
To celebrate happiness and to have a day of positivity, staff at Oxford Beaumont dressed up in fancy dress. It certainly brought smiles to everyone’s faces and brought back memories of dancing in circle skirts with frilly petticoats, watching Roy Rogers on the TV, and of the Village People singing YMCA! We even persuaded Graham to wear the Elvis wig outside when he went out to see some of the flowers in the garden.
Weekly Scrabble Club
Our weekly Scrabble Club is always a hit with residents coming together to socialize, solve logical problem in each turn of play, develop concentration, and have an enjoyable time.
We have several residents who take pleasure in playing the game and find it a relaxing past time as well as making new friends along the way.
If you would like to come along and join in the fun please contact oxfordbeaumont.activities@barchester.com for more information.
