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.
Lucy Lock
Hello, I am Lucy and I have worked at Beaufort Grange since 2015, starting as a care assistant I have progressed to senior care assistant and now into my role as an Activities Assistant. It's always a pleasure to keep the residents updated with community activities. What I enjoy about my job is making everyone laugh and keeping residents and staff entertained. You will often hear me singing as I walk down the corridor!

Life at Beaufort Grange Care Home
Piano lessons
Barchester Healthcare likes to provide person-centered care, which staff at Beaufort Grange put into practice every day. Today a resident on our Memory Lane unit, Joyce played some well-known piano tunes, including Christmas songs. Residents and staff all sang and danced along. She even taught Marion a few notes.
Christmas Wreath Making
We had a great afternoon at the home recently designing and creating our own Christmas Wreaths. As you can see from the photos we have some very creative residents here at the home!
Halloween Decorations
We had a wonderful afternoon creating decorations for our Halloween celebrations recently. Residents and staff decorated pumpkins to be displayed around the home and also created trick or treat baskets from pumpkins, full of sweet treats. A great afternoon was had by all!
Remembrance Day
Residents and staff at Beaufort Grange celebrated Remembrance Day at the home by creating a poppy display to remember those who lost their lives in the war. Everyone also took part in the two minute silence to show their respect.
Carer of the Year
Antoneta Burgess has beaten all the competition to be crowned National Carer of the Year in the Barchester Care Awards 2021.
The Barchester Care Awards celebrate the staff who go the extra mile for the benefit of the 12,000 residents living in Barchester’s 248 care homes and private hospitals across the country. Categories range from ‘Registered Nurse of the Year’ and ‘Carer of the Year’ to ‘Dementia Care Champion’ and ‘Activities Coordinator of the Year’.
More than 2,900 nominations were received from homes and hospitals across the UK. All entries were a very high standard and Antoneta is over the moon to have been named the national winner, beating hundreds of other nominees to the coveted title.
Quiz Time!
Steve, who runs art classes every Tuesday, came twice to do a great quiz with some of our residents. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the quiz and our eventual winner was Terry! He accepted to share his prize with the others. Well done Terry!
