Activities at Beaufort Grange Care Home

Activities are an integral part of life at our care home. We want to ensure that the people we support have as much fun as possible during their time with us, so it’s important that our activities programme is created with the interests of residents in mind. Our skilled Activities Coordinators bring a certain uniqueness to the home that can’t be found anywhere else, and which is reflected in the activities they organise.

200 years of Cadbury

Celebrating Dementia Action Week at our care home was truly special.

Our residents and teams came together for a heartwarming reminiscing activity to celebrate 200 years of Cadbury! It was lovely to share memories and stories of some much loved favourite treats over the years.

Thanks to the generous support of Cadbury UK we received a delightful and delicious  surprise – memory bar boxes filled with Dairy Milk bars wrapped in designs reflecting Cadbury's rich 200-year history.

It was great to learn the history of Cadbury UK, but of course the best bit was tasting delicious their chocolate!

Alpaca Farm visit!

Our residents have been busy getting out in the mini bus this week and making the most of the glorious weather.

We made a stop at Wolfridge Alpaca farm, where our residents were able to get up close to the fluffy creatures. Our lovely residents thoroughly enjoyed the visit, many of them commented on how beautiful they are. Of course our trips are not complete without a stop for some coffee and cake! We even got to taste an alpaca biscuit in the cafe.

We are already looking forward to our next visit.

Happy 100th Reg!

We recently celebrated a landmark occasion where one of our residents turned 100 years old. Reg was surrounded by family and friends as they all danced along to the beautiful singing of Nicola – singer and voice over artist, which was then followed by cake and drinks. Reg was absolutely delighted to receive a telegram from The King and his wife Queen Camilla.

Happy 100th Reg, from everyone at Beaufort Grange!

65th Wedding Anniversary

We had the pleasure of celebrating the 65th wedding anniversary for our wonderful residents Dennis and Betty. The home was decorated in sapphire and silver decorations to mark this special occasion.

To mark this brilliant milestone we celebrated with a brilliant performance by Bob Gessey.

Happy anniversary Dennis and Betty, here’s to laughter, family and love! Thank you for allowing us to be part of your special occasions.

Easter Baking Bonanza!

We had an incredible baking bonanza for  Easter at Beaufort Grange. We were busy creating delicious Easter cakes and biscuits!

Our residents had a wonderful time reminiscing about cherished memories. One of our resident even shared that baking was something he never got to try in his life; instead, he fondly recalled watching his mother bake cakes and biscuits during his childhood.

Baking is always a hit with our wonderful residents, we cant wait to see what they cook up next!

Oakham Treasures Museum

Beaufort Grange took a trip to the Oakham Treasures Museum!

It was stacked full of memorabilia, such as classic cars, games and every day house old items.

It was a brilliant day out for our residents who could remember many of the items on display being in their own childhood homes. Its always heart-warming to hear all the different stories that our residents love to share with us.
