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.
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 Stamford Bridge Beaumont Care Home
Exercise afternoon
Our residents love the classes and events that OOMPH, an online platform that we use, provides. This time our residents fancied an exercise class to get them moving - each resident worked hard stretching their arms and legs. One resident said "it was nice to do some exercise from my chair". We were all ready for a rest and a cup of tea afterwards
Baking a Christmas cake
Recently our residents got busy lining tins, cracking eggs and mixing ingredients to create our Christmas cake. Residents shared with each other all the different ways that they made their Christmas cakes. After our residents had enjoyed making the cake mixture it was then baked by our catering team and will be decorated in December ready for residents to enjoy on Christmas day.
Care home receives visit from 'neigh'bour
Stamford Bridge care home was full of animal mischief when a pony came to visit the home.
Residents at our home were pleasantly surprised to see their new furry friend roaming around their home as the pony, which is owned by a relative of one of the residents, paid a visit.
York Marathon
When Yorkshire marathon took place we couldn't resist getting wrapped up in our winter coats and popping down to watch. The route started in York and made its way to Stamford Bridge, staff and residents headed down to the sidelines so they could cheer the runners on as they passed by.
Residents knit hearts for York ICU
Margaret and Alice two talented knitters who live at our home have come to the aid of York Hospital who put out a post asking for knitters in the area to knit hearts to help families stay connected to their love ones in the intensive care unit.
Margaret and Alice sprang into action and helped meet the call by creating quite a few pairs of hearts – one will be placed in the patients hand and the other will go home with their families and friends to give them comfort and serve as a tangible connection from hospital to home.
Donation to Food Bank
Residents, loved ones, friends and staff members at our home celebrated the Harvest Festival by donating a food hamper to a local charity.
The occasion was also marked with singing of hymns followed by light refreshments which really helped everyone at the home get into the spirit of the festival. Food donations brought in by families and staff were gifted to the ‘I am reusable’ charity which will support them in feeding 120 people a day 7 days a week
