Activities at Beaufort Grange Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.
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.
Lucy Lock
Hello, I am Lucy and I have worked at Beaufort Grange since 2015, starting as a care assistant I have progressed to senior care assistant and now into my role as an Activities Assistant. It's always a pleasure to keep the residents updated with community activities. What I enjoy about my job is making everyone laugh and keeping residents and staff entertained. You will often hear me singing as I walk down the corridor!

Beaufort Grange’s Mini Beauforts baby and toddler group is so enjoyed by residents and all those who attend. We had the pleasure of spending time with Freddie who stole our hearts, he was such a delight and Freddie also got to meet Bart and Chester!
Shopping at Cribbs Causeway
Beaufort Grange residents had a great trip out to Cribbs Causeway for a bit of shopping followed by coffee and cake at Café Rouge we also had a giggle at some of the fashions! It was a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon.
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!
