Activities at Stamford Bridge Beaumont Care Home
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.
The activity team within our home spend a lot of time committing themselves to organising a range of activities for residents. This includes, pet therapy, trips out to local places of interest, visits from entertainers and musicians, bingo, one to one pamper time, weekly quizzes, coffee mornings, arts and crafts and baking. Activities are considered to be a crucial aspect of our home as residents look forward to upcoming events. As a result, it is essential that our team work together with dedication, to ensure residents are entertained and involved in as many activities as possible.
Michael Lythgoe
I have worked in the care sector for 36 years, initially working for the NHS at Brandesburton Hospital as a care assistant. When the hospital closed I transferred to Townend Court and continued as a care assistant on the forensic ward for people with a learning disability. It was whilst working with the Occupational therapists at Townend that I discovered my passion for engaging the patients in activities of their choosing, I’m quite artistic and creative so it was an easy transition
I have many years’ experience working with the older generation and those who live with dementia, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and other diagnosis’.
I am really looking forward to bring both my experience and passion to my new role and to see the positive impact on our resident population.

Life at Stamford Bridge Beaumont Care Home
Barchester's Big Quiz
All over the country our care homes and hospitals linked up for Barchester’s Big Quiz of the year!
Residents tested their knowledge with a variety of questions, from historical humdingers and musical musings to pictorial puzzlers and connective conundrums.
Everyone who participated had a fantastic time and enjoyed some friendly competition.
Meeting the Reindeers
Across our homes we got into the Christmas spirit of things by joining a festive live virtual experience, led by Des and Kelly from Performing Pets.
Our residents were thrilled to meet the charming furry friends and get up close and personal with the reindeers. We certainly learnt some interesting facts about the animals and had a fantastic time.
Langlands Garden Centre Trip
Residents and staff got into the festive spirit having a wander around Langlands garden centre which has been beautifully decorated for the festive season. They also enjoyed a coffee and a cake in the Café afterwards.
Mr and Mrs Green, who have been residents at the home for over a year, enjoyed the trip. Mr Green commented, “It was lovely to visit Langlands as me and my wife used to go with our son. The effort put in by Langlands to create the displays was great – my wife and I also enjoyed looking through the gardening things as we used to be keen gardeners”
Christmas Crafts
Our residens got into the Christmas spirit and got busy crafting, the table was filed with a variety of crafting items. Residents chose between making cards, colouring and making mini Christmas trees using pine cones.
It was wonderful to have residents together as they chatted the afternoon away, enjoying the company of each other.
Choirchester at Scarborough
We were back out on the bus to see our friends at Scarborough Hall Care Home - Barchester for a Choirchester session at their local Methodist church.
Homes from around the Yorkshire region joined together to sing Christmas carols followed by some tasty mince pies and refreshments.
On the way back we couldn’t resist a trip down to the seafront as the sun went down, the perfect way to end a lovely day.
Home hosts Christmas Fete
Staff, residents, relatives and the local community came together at Stamford Bridge care home to enjoy a wonderful Christmas Fete.
The care home had stalls including a tombola, raffle, cakes and cards. They managed to raise over £400 which will go towards future activities for their residents.
The team at Stamford Bridge care home would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who either manned a stall, donated a raffle prize or who came along to support the home. There was a fantastic atmosphere throughout the day.
