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
"I've always helped and kept busy"
We’ve had some helpers here at Stamford Bridge Beaumont this week! We are passionate about involving our residents in the things they want to do, and used to enjoy doing.
Alongside our varied life enrichment programme this helps us to ensure we are always promoting residents health & wellbeing offering person centred stimulation.
As Author Karin Tancock, says: "Keeping active and occupied is crucial for people in care homes who risk serious health complications if they are left with nothing to do. People need activity; it is simply vital for a healthy body and mind.” - and we absolutely agree with this!
It’s the small things that can make such a difference to our residents lives.
Coffee Afternoons
Since we didn’t make it out to our local cafe No. 10 Café Bar & Bistro this week, we decided to bring the cafe to us!
Residents enjoyed lattes, hot chocolates and a selection of biscuits!
They went down a great treat and there were smiles all round
Church Service
We had a lovely morning with a virtual church service from St George's Donnington.
For many residents in our home, a church service can feel comforting and familiar as a lot of our residents used to attend church regularly.
Thank you again for a lovely service.
World Braille Day
World Braille Day is celebrated every year on the 4th January, the birthday of Louis Braille. Braille is a system of raised dots that can be read with the fingers, and it is used by people who are blind or have low vision. The system was invented by Louis Braille when he was just fifteen years old, and it has been helping people to read and write for over 200 years.
On World Braille Day, we celebrate the life of Louis Braille and the incredible gift that he has given to the world. We also remember that blindness is no barrier to achievement, and we celebrate the accomplishments of all people who are blind or have low vision.
Pamper Morning
We spent a wonderful morning in the Terrace lounge with our lovely residents enjoying Coffee, Tea and Mince Pies and Shortbread around our Christmas Tree chatting about how we all spent our Christmas time.
Our lovely ladies have enjoyed hand massages and nail care this morning and lots of fun and laughter.
We've also spent time visiting residents in their rooms and chatting about their Christmas presents etc, and David kindly allowed me to take photos of his fabulous Christmas decorations which are absolutely amazing, and I think his lovely family especially Hannah and Jo may have had some involvement in this!
Christmas Theatre Performance
As the festivities continue, we enjoyed a performance of Jack and the Beanstalk by Carousel Theatre Company.
The residents sang along to, When I Wish Upon a Star, Hey Big Spender and other well known classics. To finish off the performers and staff sang an array of Christmas Carols.
It was a wonderful afternoon, enjoyed by all.
