Activites at Stamford Bridge Beaumont Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.
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.

Activities Lead
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.
Celebrating life at Stamford Bridge Beaumont Care Home
Royal Ascot at Stamford Bridge
Some of our ladies had a wonderful day watching the racing, drinking some bubbles and wearing some amazing hats and fascinators. It was such good fun and everybody really enjoyed themselves despite the heat.
None of us had any luck picking a winner, we all managed to finish towards the back in every race but it was such a good laugh and we applauded the horses home as it must have been so hard for them in the heat.
Fun in the sun
We have and are safely enjoying the beautiful weather we are blessed with at the moment and having as many activities outside as we possibly can from flower arranging, pic-nic and walks to the local village. There is absolutely no doubt that the sunshine makes everybody feel so much better and long may it continue.
As some of us have inevitably complained that it’s “too hot” this has led to many of our residents sharing stories of their travels around the world where they have lived or stayed in places with temperatures exceeding 40 degrees! It’s really interesting to hear all of these life experiences that are shared during our activities which makes things even more enjoyable.
The amazing minister
Two of our ladies recently enjoyed a trip to the absolutely stunning Beverley Minster to enjoy an amazing Carol concert and lunch in spectacular surroundings. The Minster was also lovely and cool on what was the hottest day of the year so far!
Not only were we treated to the concert, but had a walk around to see the amazing craftsmanship that has gone into creating such a stunningly beautiful building. The picture just never quite seemed to do it justice.
Our ladies thoroughly enjoyed themselves, and we will be returning for the future concerts that the Minster is putting on. We all highly recommend them.
Gardening at Stamford Bridge
We have recently started a new project making a sensory garden in a lovely walled garden space that we are so lucky to have. Our residents are becoming very well-known now at the local garden centre as we’ve spent a fair bit of time (and money) there buying everything we need.
It’s amazing how many people love to garden. We have so many people who are fully involved in the project. It’s at the very early stages, but it’ll soon be a wash of colour and scent. We also have fruit plants for taste and wind chimes and a water feature for sound, it’s already a wonderful place to be.
Tractor Run
What better excuse is there to go to the pub for a pint than to watch the local tractor run?
Three of our gentlemen thoroughly enjoyed themselves in the glorious sunshine watching the tractor run through the village. They really enjoyed their surprise visit as it was only know about at the very last minute thanks to one of our fabulous care team, who popped in on her day off and offered to take the residents to see it, and, of course, to the pub for a pint.
VE Day 80th anniversary celebrations
In the morning, we had a lovely service for all of our residents to attend and remember those who fought so bravely to make VE day possible. It was very much a morning of remembrance.
Following the service, people shared their stories of the day itself and what it had meant to them, for some elation and for others, great sadness but happiness that the war was over. It’s very humbling to hear people sharing these real-life experiences. We feel so fortunate to know all of our residents.
The afternoon was one of celebrating the victory in Europe, where we had Dark Moon playing songs from the era and many family members wearing memorabilia items that mean so much to them. What a truly wonderful day.
Enjoying the Spring Sunshine!
We had a lovely morning sat outside soaking up the springtime sunshine today, it’s so good to be able to use our outside spaces more and more as the weather improves.
Everybody agreed that seeing the blue sky and feeling the suns warmth makes you feel so much better, it was great to be able to hear so many stories being shared and also to welcome a visitor who joined us.
Just to finish it off, we also saw two swallows flying just above the building….maybe summer is closer than we think.
Beetlebank Farm Visit
Some of our lovely ladies enjoyed a visit to the local Beetlebank farm to see the variety of animals they have there.
Particular favourites were the donkeys and the baby goats, although there was a rather large amount of cuteness around, making it difficult to pick a favourite.
Our ladies had a fabulous picnic lunch prepared by our wonderful catering team.
Everybody really enjoyed their day and can’t wait for the next visit.
Surprise Furry Visitors
One of our amazing carers, Hanna, surprised our residents by bringing in her rescued pet rabbits over the Easter period.
Everybody loves animals and the smiles on the faces of everybody says more than any words can, plenty of snuggles and cuddles to go around for everybody. Hanna has promised that she’ll bring her rabbits back soon for another visit. We can’t wait.
