Activities at Stamford Bridge Beaumont Care Home

Arts and crafts is a popular activity for our residents as they like to show their creative sides. Residents have been busy finishing their personalised calendars to display in their own rooms so they can keep a note of when their favourite activities are scheduled.  They are looking forward to being able to get back out in the homes mini-bus for trips out once the pandemic is over.

Throughout the pandemic our Residents have been delighted to receive cards, letters and pictures from their friends from the local community and thoroughly enjoy reading them all.  Margaret, a resident within the home was ‘over the moon’ today to receive a reply from one of the students who she had personally responded too, the letter also included a crossword for Margaret to do as she had expressed an interest in them and had mentioned it was something she enjoyed doing.  Thank you to everyone who has written and continues to do so, you brighten our days!

Residents of Stamford Bridge Beaumont have been busy making the most of the homes interactive magic table which allows residents to complete puzzles, create pictures using touch.  The magic table is a great asset to the home and for those residents living with dementia.

Prior to the pandemic our residents would enjoy visits from Martha the Labrador as part of the Pet-Therapy scheme, as this, like many other things have ceased for now, we purchased one of the robotic cats for residents to enjoy,  they look, sound and feel like a real cat, they have brought so much comfort and joy to our residents, so much so that we have bought a second!
