Activities at Stamford Bridge Beaumont Care Home
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
Kindness at Christmas
Uur lovely residents have been helping us to arrange donated surplus food items for I am Reusable which is a wonderful and very much needed and appreciated Food Bank based in York and serving a wide community.
John McGall is doing such amazing and greatly valued work, and all his team of workers are making a real difference to people's lives especially at Christmas when many individuals and families are in desperate need of help and support.
All offers of help and generosity are so very well received at any time of the year, but especially welcome over the Winter months, when life is especially difficult for many, and it's important for us all to think of others, who are very sadly less fortunate than ourselves and more so at Christmas time.
A huge thank you to all those who have supported and to those who are doing so at the moment. Your help WILL make a massive difference and hopefully will change lives for the better!
Ladies That Lunch
Ladies that Lunch!
Today we have tried a new idea courtesy of our lovely Nurse Olivia! Two of our residents have joined each other from different parts of the home to have a beautiful lunch together in our elegant Dining room. The conversation has flowed beautifully and both Jean and Mary have found lots of common interests to share.
They have both chosen different starters from the fabulous menu, different mains and different desserts but have both thoroughly enjoyed their delicious lunch, arranged by Maria, Amy and our wonderful catering team!
A lovely idea and a great success we will definitely be doing Ladies that Lunch on a very regular basis!
Knit and Natter
We had a lovely afternoon at our Knit and natter group it's definitely taken on a festive theme! We've been knitting in a lovely group around one of our beautifully decorated Christmas trees chatting about all our very exciting Christmas activities that we'll be facilitating over the next 12 days!
Our lovely ladies have been literally knitting their socks off over the past few weeks. Alice has knitted an amazing Tortoise who will be going off to his new home shortly just in time for the BIG day!, and has also knitted a beautiful Elephant who we all have been busy naming this afternoon.
Margaret has knitted fantastic Hats and Scarves and numerous Teddy Bears in a variety of colours, all of them have now gone to their respective new homes, and will I'm sure be greatly admired.
Christmas Cookery Demonstration
We had a fantastic time joining Chef Alex Connell from Vegetarian for Life for a Christmas-inspired live virtual cookery demonstration.
Chef Alex showed us how to make and decorate a gingerbread house for the upcoming festivities. Our residents truly enjoyed the experience and cannot wait to put their skills to the test.
To make things even more exciting, we will have the opportunity to make our own gingerbread house and enter a themed competition, where Chef Alex will judge the entries.
All in all the afternoon was an absolute triumph!
Festive Afternoon Tea
Festivities have been in full swing at our Festive afternoon tea.
Residents joined together for an afternoon of mulled wine, mince pies and Christmas music as we countdown to the big day! One of residents Bryan even decided to dress for the occasion and it’s safe to say he spread plenty of joy throughout the home!
Christmas really is the most wonderful time of the year and our residents love to get festive!
Visit from our furry friends!
We had a great time welcoming Hilary and Ted back into the home again for a Christmas visit.
Ted is a 5 year old, very handsome, Springer Spaniel who works as a Therapy dog visiting Schools to help the children with their daily routines,and has already become a much loved friend to all our dear residents who absolutely adore him.
He is so gentle and knows instinctively what to do and when to do it, and today he has also made some new friends, two other dogs that were visiting, and also two gorgeous and very well behaved Grandchildren who were accompanied by their parents and visiting their Grandma.
We all thank Hilary and Ted for being so generous with their Saturday afternoon,their visits really do make a difference and lift the hearts of all our lovely residents who look forward to seeing them back again in the New Year!
Merry Christmas to you both!
