Activities at Stamford Bridge Beaumont Care Home

Residents are overjoyed at Stamford Bridge Beaumont care home in Stamford Bridge, York as Barchester Healthcare has implemented a visiting suite for residents to continue to spend time with their loved ones for the autumn and winter seasons in addition to the outdoor visiting that has been on offer for those able for many months.

Balancing resident wellbeing and safety is at the forefront of Barchester Healthcare’s thinking and they understand how important it is for residents and their family and friends to be able to spend time together in the safest way possible.

There has been much careful planning and preparation for this moment by Barchester Healthcare, who run Stamford Bridge Beaumont care home. It was welcome news for their residents and family and friends as we enter the colder season meaning catch-ups can continue to take place, instead of, or in addition to, outdoor visiting already offered for those able.

With Christmas just around the corner Residents at Stamford Bridge have been busy with their craft sessions. The residents are really getting into the festive spirit in helping to create some fabulous Christmas inspired decorations to display throughout the home.   This is one of the many activities the home hosts as part of their life enrichment programme.

Residents of Stamford Bridge were delighted when the postman delivered letters, cards and pictures to the home from a local school based in Sand Hutton as part of the homes intergenerational links to with the community.  Residents are now busy writing back to the school and look forward to receiving more!

Staff and residents have taken part in a variety of activities to raise money for Children in Need.

Children in Need is the BBC's UK charity. Since 1980 it has raised over £950 million for disadvantaged children and young people in the UK. One of the highlights is an annual telethon, held in November and televised on BBC One and BBC Two, and the charity mascot "Pudsey Bear" is as well-known as legendary host Sir Terry Wogan who hosted the telethon for 35 years.

Residents have been getting involved with children in need day by baking some shortbread Pudsey Bear biscuits.

Our residents enjoyed a lovely morning reminiscing on Remembrance Sunday, Barbara was proud to share her appreciation certificate for her volunteer work with the Poppy Appeal, we think she looked fabulous!. As a home we also created our very own cenotaph the mark the occasion and our friends at Primrose Hill Day Nursery kindly made us some poppies and we think they look great.

Barchester’s Stamford Bridge care home was a den of ghoulish activity as the home’s spooky Halloween party got in to full swing.

Staff and residents got in to the spirit of things with fancy dress, games including pin the nose on the witch, apple bobbing and much more!  It was a spooktacular fun filled day filled with laughter!  Residents also enjoyed delicious Halloween cakes prepared by the homes hospitality team over a cup of tea.
