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
Fun Family Dog Show
Residents welcomed family and friends into our gorgeous grounds for our dog show. The event was really well-attended, and great fun. It was wonderful to be able to host a community event again. Each winner received a goodie bag of prizes and rosettes were given to all the runners up.
Flower Power
Residents had lots of fun organising flowers for display around the home.
Brain Training
Keeping residents minds and bodies active is a key part of our daily programme here et Reigate Beaumont. This month, we have held a Scrabble tournament and tried some new card and dice games. Residents have had great fun!
Reminiscence Therapy
Reminiscence therapy is an integral part of our activities programme. We run regular group Music & Movement sessions using old favourite tunes with props and quizzes. Beth and Jola also provide individual reminiscence sessions in residents’ rooms.
Gardening Club
Residents had great fun using the beautiful flowers and plants from our grounds to create table displays for their own rooms and the communal dining rooms. Some ladies also braved the windy weather to do some gardening outside!
Father's Day
All the fathers were given a parcel of goodies to celebrate Father's Day! We met for a quiz and social before lunch. Residents recounted stories of their own fathers and their own experiences of being a dad too.
