Activities at Prestbury Beaumont Care Community
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.
Our home is always full of life, and we can thank our wonderful Activities Coordinators for this. Dedication to creating a unique and interesting activities programme is what sets us apart from other homes. We always take into consideration that some people would prefer to pursue their own interests, which is why our team strive to incorporative activities that cater to a wide range of tastes and hobbies. Our trips out are always fun and exciting as well, and residents are guaranteed to return with stories to tell their loved ones!
Rebecca O’Donnell
Hi, my name is Rebecca O’Donnell. I am head of Activities for Prestbury Beaumont. I have only been here for a short time and in that time, I have worked in various departments, including care, laundry and housekeeping.
In that time, I got to know all of our residents very well, which has helped me have a better understanding of their needs and how to support them in this role whilst ensuring they receive a fulfilling experience.
I am from the Cheshire area. I have been with my partner for nearly 20 years. We have four daughters, 1 grandson, dogs and granddogs and a horse we all adore. I like to travel and see new places, and I am looking forward to working here for a long time and furthering my skills.
Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies
Life at Prestbury Beaumont Care Community
ConneX is Live!
As part of Barchester’s digital transformation, Prestbury Beaumont went live today with our new Customer Relationship Management system - ConneX.
ConneX supports and helps manage the journey from enquiry to admission with everything in the system connected together which supports us in providing an exceptional customer experience.
We celebrated the occassion by decorating our reception area and baking cupcakes for residents and their families to enjoy!
Knitting for Savanah
Our Head chef’s daughter, Holly, gave birth to a beautiful little girl, called Savanah, and our lovely residents wanted to knit her some hats and blankets that she could wear. Savanah was born twelve weeks early, at 706 grams, and had a valve that wasn’t closed on her heart. We were all really worried about her as she had been in hospital for 112 days and had been in five different hospital wards. However, Savanah had a lot of love and support around her and this meant that our lovely residents, including Liz, Audrey and Wendy, worked really hard to make sure baby Savanah had warm and cosy blankets she could cuddle into. She is now back home with her mum and the residents got to meet and cuddle her for the first time during their knit and natter activity last week.
Tea Time!
Calling all tea lovers! We decided to put on a tea tasting afternoon in order to wake everybody’s taste buds up. Some residents had mentioned they use to love herbal and flavoured tea so we started brewing loose tea in order to try and get the resident’s brains ticking as to what they thought they were drinking. Everybody scored each tea out of ten and came to the conclusion that they all loved Egyptian mint tea, which was the winner and scored a 7.5 out of 10!
A trip down Moberly lane
This February our lovely Alan wanted to visit the beautiful town of Moberly, to reminisce and visit one of his favourite pubs, where he use to drink every week. Alan has very fond memories of living in Moberly and had wished to take a trip down memory lane by going for a drink in one of his locals. We all shared lots of laughter as Alan told us such wonderful memories about how he use to go out drinking in Moberly, while we tucked into some yummy fish and chips and Alan tried the pub ales they had on cask. We all loved receiving a tour from Alan as we drove to and from Moberly, learning about the town and where Alan grew up.
