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.

Congratulations to Roman Rybanowski, who has been named as a Divisional Winner in the Chef of the Year category at this year's Barchester Care Awards.
Summer Fete
In spite of the torrential downpour, we continued with our Summer Fete. Entertainment included a wonderful belly dancing display. Fun was had by all.
Open Day at Reigate
At Reigate Beaumont, we started our Open Day with a continental breakfast & wonderful pancakes free for our guests. The day continued with a very lively musical workshop lead by Lyne, from Music for Health. Guests who visited our newly refurbished home were pleasantly surprised and 'WOWED' by our splendid home and beautiful gardens.
They commented on our homely atmophere whilst enjoying refreshments prepared by our Chef, Roman.
In the afternoon we had musical entertainment and concluded the day with a lovely "posh tea".
Royal Tea Party
Our Activities Coordinator, Tina Green, joined two residents at Reigate whilst they were having a royal tea party.
Supper on the Terrace
The residents were quick to take advantage of a lovely spring evening by having supper on the lawn.
Sunday Lunch at Reigate
On Sunday 24th April, we invited two local people who live alone to share a Sunday lunch and afternoon tea with us here at Reigate Beaumont. We have been operating this scheme with Age Concern, who have a day centre in Merstham, for the past two months. It has been a great success and we shall be continuing with this on the last Sunday of each month.
