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
Gardening club
This week at Prestbury Beaumont, we have been getting our hands dirty with Gardening Club! We planted different varieties of sunflower seeds at the beginning of March …. Teddy Bear, Russian Giant and Velvet Queen are some of the varieties we sowed.
They have been growing really well, our residents obviously have green fingers! This week, they have become too big for their original pots, so we have been re-potting them and moved them outside to a sheltered spot.
Sensory experience
This week at Prestbury Beaumont, we have had some lovely activity sessions with our Memory Lane Residents.
We have our Sensory Room, with lamps, projectors and fibre optic lights. Our Memory Lane Residents really benefit from tactile objects to hold, these help to focus on preserving and improving their dexterity; as well as being interesting conversation starters!
Home have their cake and eat it!
Excitement is running high at Prestbury Beaumont, Macclesfield where residents and staff have been cooking up a storm to enter parent company Barchester Healthcare’s Easter Cake competition. Details of the competition were announced earlier this year and the home has been busy coming up with, what they hope, will be a winning design.
The competition is being run by Barchester Healthcare across its 250 care homes and private hospitals so the home has some stiff competition to beat. Pride is at stake as chefs and residents at each of the homes across the country battle it out. Judging will take place just after Easter and the winning cakes for each of Barchester’s divisions will be announced at the end of April.
