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
Employee of the Month - May
Congratulations to Kitchen Assistant, Ion Grigore, who was named as our Employee of the Month for May. Head Chef, Roman Rybakowski can be seen above presenting him with his award. Well done!
Virtual Reality Session
Wearing a special headset, residents were able to see the moving images in 3D, which was really cool. The footage was of under the sea, and residents were so immersed that they even tried to reach out and stroke them on occasions.
National Carers Week
At Reigate Beaumont, we recognised the hard work and dedication of our Carers. Above, you can see a resident giving out cupcakes and a small present to each member of the Team. We also provided a takeaway pizza lunch for them to enjoy.
Open Garden
We hosted an 'Open Garden' event during Dementia Awareness Week to raise money for the Alzheimer's Society. There was a plant sale, refreshments and our Gardener, Robert, was available to answer questions. It was a successful event and everyone had a great time!

Reigate Beaumont residents enjoyed a trip to Mercer’s Lakes recently and made the most of this glorious spring weather.
