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
A Live Performance from Colette Todd
Music is really important to all of our residents, we were only too pleased to welcome back Colette Todd to perform for us!
Our residents had a wonderful time, tapping toes and joining in with the songs they recognised!
Gentleman's Club
This month at Prestbury Beaumont, we have started our Gentleman’s Club!
Our varied life enrichment program aims to support residents to do activities they loved to do earlier in their lives.
Alan in particular, loved socialising in his local pub after work with a pint of bitter! We were more than happy to oblige and had a lovely afternoon out!
Sponsored walk raises monies for charity
Residents supported by staff at Prestbury Beaumont Care Community in Prestbury, Macclesfield put the ‘fun’ into ‘fundraising’ with their sponsored walk for Cancer Research!
Residents supported by staff and Lucy from Prestbury Physiotherapy Practice, took it in turns to walk laps of our homes boardwalk. The boardwalk was marked by balloons at five metre intervals, totalling one hundred metres! Between them, our Residents walked a total of one thousand and fifty metres!
Craft Sessions
Our residents really enjoy handicraft sessions, with Autumn approaching; we decided to utilize the pinecones from around our home gardens.
Together with our maintenance team, we were able to split the pinecones to make flowers for our residents to paint.
We will continue this project throughout September with the end aim to make autumn wreaths for our homes notice board!
Learning French
This month our residents have had a fantastic introduction to learning French!
Some of our residents were able to recall the language beautifully, despite not speaking it for a number of years!
Supporting and improving language skills our residents have is an integral part of our life enrichment program at Prestbury Beaumont. we also have residents that have never spoken French, so they were able to learn something new and make friends along the way! We are really looking forward to our next session with Liz!
Afternoon tea in the garden
At Prestbury Beaumont; we have a varied life enrichment program. We aim to support residents to continue to do the things they have always done, as well as trying new things.
We aim to be inclusive of all capabilities and take into account individual preferences when planning our weekly activities schedule; drawing on Residents feedback.
Today, we have been busy enjoying the sunshine! We had a lovely coffee afternoon with poetry, ice creams and cakes over a refreshing cup of tea! Our residents really enjoy reciting and recalling their favourite poets from their childhoods and beyond!
