Something for everyone
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. Our programme is shaped around residents’ interests and abilities, so everyone can join in, try something new or simply enjoy watching from the sidelines. What matters is that activities are enjoyable and meaningful to the people who live here.
Creative sessions
Creative sessions are relaxed with no rush and no pressure. Whether you want to join in or just sit and watch, it’s entirely up to you. A chance to rediscover an old hobby, try something different, or simply enjoy a bit of quiet time.
Music and entertainment
There’s always music in the air here. Enjoy a singalong, listen to a live performance, or simply put on an old favourite – enjoy music in whatever way suits you best.
Days out
We love getting out and about. Trips to garden centres, local parks, and places of interest give residents the chance to enjoy a change of scenery, explore somewhere new and spend time together.
Puzzles and games
Quizzes, puzzles, and board games – there’s plenty to choose from, whether you enjoy a bit of friendly competition or simply fancy a game with friends.
Time in the gardens
Our gardens offer peaceful spaces for those who enjoy being outdoors, whether pottering with plants or simply enjoying the fresh air.
Wellbeing and relaxation
There are plenty of ways to take a little time for yourself. From gentle exercise and relaxation sessions to pampering and simply enjoying a quiet moment, activities are designed to help you feel good.
Visitors and community
We love welcoming people into Beech Tree. From therapy animals and visits from local schools and nurseries to fascinating talks, entertainers and local history sessions, there’s always something new to discover.
Food and baking
From baking a favourite recipe to helping prepare something for afternoon tea, food is always better when it’s shared. Residents can get involved in cooking and baking sessions, enjoy tasting something new, or simply sit down and enjoy good food with friends.
Home cooking, every day
Mealtimes are an important and enjoyable part of daily life at Beech Tree. Our chefs prepare fresh, nutritious meals using quality ingredients, with plenty of choice to suit individual tastes and dietary requirements. Texture-modified and fortified options are prepared with the same care and attention to flavour, colour and presentation.
Residents can enjoy meals with friends in our welcoming dining room or dine in the comfort of their own room. Those who need additional help are supported with patience, kindness and dignity. Snacks and refreshments are available throughout the day, and family members are always welcome to join us.
