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
International Nurses' Day
Staff at Reigate Beaumont enjoyed a pizza takeaway lunch to celebrate the International Nurses' Day on Saturday 12th May in the family room.
Sweet 103
Resident, Eileen, recently celebrated her 103rd birthday here at Reigate. We baked her a birthday cake and held a small birthday party that was attended by staff, family members and friends.
Tea at the Olive Tree
Residents were treated to another outing recently, this to Epsom and The Olive Tree for afternoon tea. The weather was gorgeous and everyone had a great time.
A Country Walk
Residents enjoyed a trip a local farm recently. They loved walking around it and watching the animals.
Open Day
Residents prepared for our open day on 21st April with a flower arranging session. This resulted in many lovely arrangements, which were sold for Parkinson's UK the following day to raise money for the charity.
The theme for open day was the Commonwealth this year, and we had a very special visitor come to say hello to residents, who were thrilled to welcome her amongst themselves.
Easter Weekend
We were treated to a very special production on Saturday afternoon – a local group of belly dancers performed some of their favourite dances. It was a beautiful show of colours and costumes.
Our Chefs put in a lot of effort to create a fantastic cake for afternoon tea on Easter Sunday. They also hope to win a prize in Barchester's Easter Cake Competition. Good luck!
On Easter Monday, we gathered around for the annual Easter Egg Hunt. Residents, as well as visiting children, took part and it got quite competitive. The winner received a giant chocolate Easter bunny – well done!
