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
Taste of Italy
We decided to treat our residents to a taste of Italy. On the day residents were able to enjoy an Italian feast which included Italian gelato and Italian wine, before we listened and danced along to Andrew Payne’s music played on our grand piano. It was a really good day!
Our Divisional Winners
Two members of our team have been named as Divisional Winners in the 2018 Barchester Care Awards. Tina has been named a winner in the 'Activities Coordinator of the Year' category, and Marta was awarded the divisional 'Carer of the Year' award. A huge Congratulations to them both!
Redhill Aerodrome
Residents enjoyed a trip to Redhill Aerodrome; the weather was just perfect and still warm enough to have a cuppa outside. Everyone had a great time!
Denbies Vinyard
Residents enjoyed a trip to Denbies Vineyard and having a stroll amongst the grapevines. It was a lovely day out!
Summer Fête
We hosted our Summer Fête on Saturday 25th August, and it was a huge success! There was live entertainment from John Chenney, a tombola and the ice cream van had a very long queue!
Indoor BBQ
We recently hosted a "summer" BBQ for residents, staff and visitors. Unfortunately, due to the weather, it had to be hosted indoors, but everyone still had a lovely time.
