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
Autumnal crafts
Did you know that our residents can take part in weekly handicraft sessions such as art, flower arranging, cookery, knitting, sewing clubs and art classes?
These sessions increase creativity and stimulate the development of new skills. This week, for example, we hosted a lovely pine cone crafting session; which was truly enjoyed by all and put a smile on everyone’s face.
Our project is to eventually make autumn wreaths, although it didn’t seem appropriate today with the barmy weather!
Every dog has it's day!
Staff and residents at Barchester’s Prestbury Beaumont care home in Prestbury, Macclesfield got up close and personal with some furry friends when they celebrated all the wonderful things about man’s best friend on National Dog Day, August 26th.
National Dog Day is an annual event to raise awareness of the number of dogs in rescue centres and to encourage people to adopt dogs from shelters and dog homes.
Residents had a brilliant time at Prestbury Beaumont learning about different breeds and their characteristics, reminiscing about pets and finding out fascinating facts about dogs and puppies.
Fair raises funds for charity
We all had a fantastic afternoon at our Summer Fair! We raised money for Cancer Research with our traditional sweet stall sales.
We had a coconut shy, ring toss, hook a duck and ice cream cart! All our residents friends and family came, together with members of our local community to celebrate with us!
Floral displays
One of our residents has been out enjoying our homes spectacular floral displays with our Head Gardener Chris.
Alan was overjoyed to go out and see our newly repaired water feature; together with the flowers we have grown with our residents in our Gardening Club! Our home has never looked so beautiful and it’s all down to our ‘green fingered’ residents hard work!
Yorkshire Day
On the 1st of August we celebrated Yorkshire Day with all things ‘Yorkshire’ this included staff wearing flat caps, drinking Yorkshire Tea, eating traditional Yorkshire dishes. We had a themed fact discussion, followed by a pop quiz testing residents on what they had learnt! We had photos of famous Yorkshire landmarks to look at; this prompted one of residents who was from York, to show us her beautiful fireguard that was crafted by the same glass smith that worked on the restoration of York Minster!
A trip along the Canal
Residents and staff boarded the Mary Sunley Narrow Boat for a relaxing afternoon taking in the Cheshire countryside!
We stopped off for delicious fish and chips on the way, had a wonderful time feeding the ducks and looking at the different boats. We are all so excited to do a trip like this again!
