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.
Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies

Trip to Elvington Air Museum
Our residents enjoyed a wonderful trip out at the Elvington Air museum.
The exhibits promoted many conversations throughout the day, the gentlemen were particularly impressed that they could get so close to the aeroplanes.
Our day out at the Elvington Museum was rounded off nicely with a rather tasty lunch in the cafe as our residents tucked into the delicious fish and chips on offer.
Hawaiian Party
We've had the most fabulous afternoon in the sun for our Hawaiian themed BBQ.
With grass skirts blowing in the breeze, flower garlands fluttering, the parrot and flamingo flying and palm trees gently swaying...and occasionally falling over made for an amazing experience for everybody who came.
The home activities team would like to pass on special thanks to Nick from the maintenance team for constructing the centre piece tiki bar, it looked absolutely amazing, Amy and the catering team for all their help with preparing the food, the care teams who without your help and support events like this could not happen. Thanks also go to all the family members who came to support their loved ones.
Cook Off 2024
Staff and residents are celebrating because their wonderful Managing Director, Fiona Fagan, from Barchester’s North East and Scotland Division, has stepped completely out of her comfort zone to compete in the Barchester Charitable Foundation Cook Off 2024.
