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 lovely visit from Henrik
This month we have really enjoyed our Pets as Therapy visit from Henrik and his handler John!
Studies have shown that interaction with animals can be very beneficial. Our residents really enjoy him coming to see them, he is very well behaved and always brings a smile to everyone’s faces!
We can’t wait to welcome him back in May.
Happy Easter
We had a fantastic time over Easter and our residents were visited by not just one Easter bunny, but two! Our very own Beaumont Bunnies!
Our whole home worked together to deliver Easter Eggs to all our residents and their visitors!
Everyone was thrilled with their visits and really enjoyed the chocolate!
Gardening Club
Here at Prestbury Beaumont, we have our twice monthly gardening club, run by our Head Gardener and Activities Team.
This month we have been focusing on taking cuttings from our flowers used in the flower arranging group previously, we have made our own terrariums out of recycled plastic cups and plant pots! We then used rooting power to encourage the carnations root, the aim being that we can grow our own flowers for future flower arranging sessions! All our residents really enjoyed this project!
Intergenerational visit
Today at Prestbury Beaumont, we have had a lovely little visitor from a local school.
Rose brought her lamb in to show our residents; she also helped serve tea, coffee and cake! Everyone had a fantastic afternoon chatting about their own children and childhoods!
Happy knitters
At Prestbury Beaumont, we have been enjoying our creative chatter with our ‘Knit and Natter’ group activity. Under the expert guidance of our new volunteer Jean, we have continued our work from our last session knitting for the premature babies.
It’s always lovely to see the mindfulness this activity evokes, we have listened to some wonderful stories told by our residents!
The great outdoors!
We have been doing our best the last couple of days to make the most of the sunshine at Prestbury Beaumont!
We have our weekly walking group as well as our individual physio-led exercise practice for strength and conditioning. We know keeping active is very important for our residents. Preserving and improving skills and abilities is an integral part of our activities schedule at the home.
