Activities at Reigate Beaumont Care Home
Our specialist activities staff are committed to organising and delivering a fun mix of activities and events chosen by the residents here at Reigate Beaumont. We work closely with the local community who get involved in all kinds of activities within the home. We enjoy all kinds of events which could be anything from trips out to local places of interest in our minibus or visits from entertainers and musicians, spending time in our beautiful gardens, or providing great activities for the mind body and soul. We liaise with local churches and regularly hold multi-congregational services at the home.
It is important to us that each individual who we support can get as much from these as possible, so we try our best to arrange activities that reflect their interests and capabilities, and encourage them to participate in any way they can. We also encourage relatives to join with activities and invite them to our regular events. We also have a variety of volunteers who really enjoy spending time within the home too.
Karyn Borngräber
Each resident is unique and as an Activity Coordinator, I aim to create meaningful activities whereby residents can feel at home. From quizzes to games, stretch classes to flower arranging, reminiscing to enjoying our beautiful gardens. From musicians to Namaste sessions, outings, intergenerational and community involvement – a balanced activity program of body, mind and soul allows each resident to feel as if they have purpose and meaning in their lives. As well as sitting and having meaningful one to one engaged conversation or holding your loved ones hand – can allow a resident to feel that Reigate Beaumont is their home. With a background as a Healthcare Assistant, we are taught to provide person centred care. This has helped me to provide person centred activities.

Life at Reigate Beaumont Care Home
Community Engagement
Our residents had a visit from Zuzana, our Police Community Support Officer from Reigate. The residents enjoyed interacting and chatting with her - some sharing life stories with her. They look forward to her next visit! Head Chef Roman, prepared delicious cupcakes for National Cupcake Day and Zuzana took some back with her to share with her colleagues. She said she was very popular back at the station!
A visit from Helyn Clack
Helyn Clack Chairman of Surrey County Council visited Reigate Beaumont to have tea and muffins with our residents. The residents had made rag bunting for an event the Council is having end of June for volunteers who helped others during the pandemic. Our home provided the bunting for their event and the rag bunting will form part of their decorations.
International Day of Museums
We had an outing to Dorking Museum with some of our residents. Which was followed by a nice cup of iced coffee.
Foxes and Reigate
We captured a mother and her cub in our magnificent gardens. We are lucky to have such amazing grounds and we often see deer and pheasants too.
International Nurses Day
We had a wonderful day celebrating International Nurses Day. Annie, one of our wonderful residents started her nursing career in 1942. We presented Annie with flowers and she cut the magnificent cake Head Chef Roman made for the nurses (plus cupcakes). We presented them with gift bags and chocolates to thank them for all that they do.
Bourne Hall Ewell
We took the mini bus to Bourne hall, in Ewell, where residents were able to walk around the grounds and see the lake. We had lovely weather and the residents all enjoyed seeing the ducks in the lake.
