Activities at Beaufort Grange Care Home

Activities are an integral part of life at our care home. We want to ensure that the people we support have as much fun as possible during their time with us, so it’s important that our activities programme is created with the interests of residents in mind. Our skilled Activities Coordinators bring a certain uniqueness to the home that can’t be found anywhere else, and which is reflected in the activities they organise.

Alive Allotments Experience

Beaufort Grange residents were invited to the  Alive Activities allotment in Brentry and we had a such an enjoyable afternoon. Thank you so much to this wonderful charity whose volunteers spent time with the residents showing them around, making insect houses and chatting while relaxing in the sun. Alive allotments have been designed to give therapeutic and social benefits to those living with dementia. Gardening has such a positive impact on the physical and mental well-being of us all.

Volunteer of the Year

We are proud to announce that Jackie Cranmer has been crowned Volunteer of the Year for the Cental Division in this year’s Barchester Care Awards and is through to the national round of judging.  More than 3,900 nominations were received from all Barchester homes and hospitals across the UK. All entries were a very high standard and Jackie is over the moon to have been named the winner for the division, beating hundreds of other nominees.

Our divisional winner Jackie is through to the national finals in which the overall winner is decided. Jackie will join winners from across the UK at a special awards event in October to celebrate their outstanding achievements and discover if they have won a national award.

Huge congratulations, well deserved!
