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
Visit to our local Café
We enjoyed a walk in the sunshine over to our local coffee shop, No.10 Bistro.
No.10 is one of the residents favourite places to go for a morning cappuccino and a tea cake, we are so lucky to have such a lovely cafe in the village with welcoming staff.
Flower Arranging at Stamford Bridge
This week, the residents chose tulips for this weeks Bloom of choice, accompanied by a variety of different flowers to display around the home. The colour combinations were carefully arranged, and the smell of the fresh flowers accompanied by the sun shining is making everybody extremely excited for summer!
Did you know that fresh flowers generate happiness? Arranging flowers, and even just simply being around them and seeing them, can lift our spirits and increase happy emotions!
Chair Exercises
Our residents had a fun filled morning participating in a chair exercise class from Oomph Wellness.
During the session, we had lots of fun and sang along to the songs and everybody was left feeling refreshed and energised to start the day.
Chair exercises are part of our weekly activities programme and are an excellent way to build strength and improve flexibility without putting too much strain on your body.
Virtual Sensory with the Historic Royal Palaces
Our residents had a delightful time during a special virtual sensory storytelling event, led by Art Historian Jon Sleigh from the Historic Royal Palaces.
Jon took us on a journey to discover some of the more unusual and unexpected inhabitants of the palaces and the Tower of London, sharing fascinating stories about the pets at the palaces.
Whilst enjoying the virtual experience, our residents were treated to hot beverages, delicious biscuits, berries and cakes.
It was a truly lovely time for all.
Coronation Celebrations fit for a King
What a fantastic bank holiday weekend we have had here at Stamford Bridge Beaumont, celebrating the coronation of King Charles III.
On Saturday, the residents watched the coronation and enjoyed a tea party. All of the decorations the residents had been busy making with help from the Activities team, and the delicious food from our talented chefs, all came together and gave the residents a fantastic day of celebrations as we welcomed the new King of our country.
And on Monday, we had a wonderful party, where all of our residents, visitors, staff and people from our community came together to celebrate. We had bagpipes, which had an astounding effect on everybody as they played. We enjoyed an afternoon tea, an ice cream from the ice cream van, and some people even enjoyed a pimms with fruit also! Everybody sang, danced and laughed and we had a truly incredible party to finish off the celebrations.
Coronation Preparations in full swing
Coronation preparations are in full swing here at Stamford Bridge Beaumont!
Residents have been helping Wendy, our Activity Coordinator today with decorating the home ready for our big celebrations this bank holiday weekend.
We have been putting up bunting around the home, decorating tables, creating our own flag stands and we even have our very own cardboard cut out (very much real life) of King Charles.
Resident, Alice has also been busy knitting some soldiers in preparing for the celebrations this weekend, and what a fantastic job she has done. Don’t they look great!
