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.

Functions that can be impacted are memory, language skills, visual perception, problem solving, self-management and the ability to focus and pay attention. The number of people living with dementia in the UK is forecast to increase to over 1m.
Knit and Knatter Group
Our weekly knit and knatter group is so wonderful. To see our residents thrive at a skill that has played such a big role throughout their life is amazing. We often hear them sharing stories with each other about the many things they have made through the years.
A couple of the ladies started on a special project ready for world Alzheimer’s day.
Remembering Queen Elizabeth
On the anniversary of Queen Elizabeth's death our residents had a day of activities to remember her by. In the morning residents did flower arranging which brought lots of colour into the home. We also enjoyed coffee and home made cake, which was prepared by our chef, in the garden whilst discussing the late Queen and all of our favourite memories.
Resident takes trip down memory lane
Staff and residents from Stamford Bridge Beaumont care home in Stamford Bridge were treated to a trip down memory lane when they visited the local Gardens, Burnby Hall in Pocklington.
Residents had a fantastic time remembering previous trips that they had taken, they shared their anecdotes and reminisced about the changes that had taken place, no one more so than our resident Margaret who along with her husband wrote a book about the history of the gardens, which is still on sale in the gift shop today.
