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
Valentines Day
Our hearts were full of love as we celebrated Valentines Day around the home.
Our residents have been busy making arts and crafts to decorate the home. To make the day even more special, Activity Coordinators, Wendy and Vicky went round and gave a special Valentines gift to everyone.
To continue the celebrations, this afternoon we welcomed one of our all time favourite entertainers, Dark Moon to join us for a party. All the residents came together to sing, dance and enjoy special Valentines refreshments!
Happy Valentines Day from all of us to you

Everyone is welcome!
National Pizza Day
We had a great time celebrating National Pizza Day. A day to celebrate one of world’s favourite foods. But where did pizza come from?
The first pizza is thought to have been made in Italy over 1000 years ago. It was a simple dish of flatbread topped with cheese and herbs. The first recorded mention of pizza was in a Latin text from Gaeta in Southern Italy in 997 AD. The text reads: “Neapolitans bake their bread under the ashes”.
However, it wasn’t until the late 1800s that pizza as we know it began to take shape. Italian immigrants brought their love of pizza to America, and soon pizzerias were popping up all over the country. Today, pizza is more popular than ever, with new toppings and styles being created all the time.
Residents had a great time making their own pizza, choosing from a selection of different toppings.
We finished the day off by tasting our creations and they certainly did not disappoint!
A wonderful, tasty day enjoyed by all.
Burns Night celebrations
We had a great time yesterday celebrating Burns Night!
To honour the famous Scottish poet, we hosted a poetry and music session to learn more about the Scottish Country Dancing.
Our tables were decorated for the occasion, staff dressed up and residents got involved too!
We ended the day with Whisky and shortbread tasting which was thoroughly enjoyed.
We all had a wonderful time learning more about Robert Burns and the Scottish culture and traditions.
Virtual Sensory Storytelling Session
Our residents were treated to a special virtual sensory storytelling session.
Together with Art Historian Jon Sleigh and the Historic Royal Palaces community team, we explored several royal palaces through the theme of food, dining and celebration!
We enjoyed a fantastic taste-a-long experience from the comfort of our home, from Tudor treats to Stuart sweets.
A lovely time was had by all.
Live talk from The Royal Parks London
We enjoyed a wonderful live virtual talk about starlings, one of the UK’s most gregarious birds, hosted by Rachel Dowse from The Royal Parks London.
Rachel examined our long history with this bird and the importance of common species to our lives. Our residents had the opportunity to find out more about the great murmuration and why we need to pay special attention to these beauties before it's too late.
The virtual experience was truly enjoyed by all.
