Activities at Stamford Bridge Beaumont Care Home

Some of our lovely residents and their family members enjoyed an afternoon of making and eating pizza. The word is that there wasn’t a crumb left over!

Our residents always enjoy cooking activities, it’s always a lovely, friendly atmosphere and people are only too happy to share their secret ingredients and different ways of doing things. We can and learn so much from our residents. We really are lucky people.

The social aspect of these groups is so important too. Our regular attenders are so happy to welcome new people, whether they be new residents or visitors, to join in with the activity, and tasting, of course. 

Our residents helped select some wonderful photographic memories for the amazing Wendy who is celebrating her 20th year working at Stamford Bridge Beaumont. 

Wendy started as a carer and has worked in activities for many years before a recent move into the housekeeping team.

Wendy is the life and soul of the building. Every home needs a Wendy, and despite her larger-than life character and infectious personality, she was left speechless with her surprise get together, an absolute first!

There is no higher praise than that from the residents. They all think the world of Wendy and were more than happy to share their memories of their time with her. Many stories and laughs were shared.

Here’s hoping to many more years to come Wendy. The home is not the same when you’re not around.

Our residents were only too happy to answer a request from one of our sister homes and make a special birthday card for one of their ladies who is turning 100 very soon.

It’s so lovely that our residents absolutely jumped at the chance to show off their creative and crafting skills to make somebody who they do not know happy.

Throughout the session, there was such a lovely atmosphere and everybody came together and helping each other, it was an absolute pleasure to be a part of such a wonderful afternoon.

A Head Of Unit at Stamford Bridge Care Home has received a prestigious Long Service Award in celebration of working at Barchester Healthcare for 25 years.

Louise, now Head of Memory Lane, which is the home’s dementia care unit, started at Barchester in December 2000 and has worked with residents and their relatives to ensure that their needs have been met over the years. 
 

Emily was joined by staff, relatives, friends and other residents as she received a telegram from the King in recognition of her landmark birthday. A gathering was held at the home and guests enjoyed a special birthday cake made by the home’s chef.

Emily was born in 1919 in Easingwold and she has always been a local girl. Emily and her husband Henry lived on a farm for many years before Henry unfortunately passed away almost 40 years ago. Emily and Henry share a son and a daughter who are both now married and have children of their own. Emily has four grandchildren and ten great grandchildren. Emily moved into Stamford Bridge on the 9th December 2022 and has since enjoyed many activities like welcoming Alpacas into the home and a trip out to Burnby Hall Gardens to name a couple.  
 

There were many jumpers on display for Christmas Jumper day with the residents, staff team and visitors all joining in and helping to raise a significant amount of money for our chosen charity.

Everybody who wore a jumper put £1 into the collection jar, we also had several other donations so a big thank you to those people also. 

To select the charity we asked for suggestions over the preceding week and decided to put all the names into a jar and Mr Bryan Lawson, our resident ambassador drew out the winner which was Cancer Research.
