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.

Life at Beaufort Grange Care Home
Oktoberfest
Beaufort Grange welcomed Oktoberfest with open arms. Our residents were delighted to have a taster session of different German beers, and the Erdinger beer quickly became a favourite.
We had a little history lesson on the origins of beer, a quiz and we also displayed footage of the 'Wiesn' from the '50s and '60s to fully immerse our residents into the spirit of this famous Bavarian celebration.
Diwali Celebrations
Our residents stepped into the Diwali spirit at Beaufort Grange. One of our lovely carers had cooked delicious Indian food for the day and Beaufort’s residents were delighted.
We gave a short presentation on what Diwali is about and had so much fun dancing with our residents whilst listening to Punjab folk music. Residents who wanted were lucky enough to try on some traditional Indian clothing.
Physio Sessions
We have been adapting to the challenges lockdown has faced; this includes weekly virtual physiotherapy sessions to keep up our fitness and movement.
Harvest Festival
We have spent the last week rolling, moulding and painting to create a Harvest spread fit for the Queen! We used salt dough to create a lot of our creations, and they came out so well; it was hard to believe they weren’t edible. Everybody in the home got involved with ideas, and this is the outcome of all our hard work.
World of Gin
Our residents explored the world of gin, as we sampled a range of artisan gins and complimenting tonics. We filled out tasting cards, making note of the aromas, flavours and textures. To finish off our gin-credible event, we were quizzed on everything we learnt.
Virtual Concert
Despite the restrictions of lockdown, music lives on and our residents had a wonderful time listening and singing along to music performed by Philippa Mo, a professional violinist, and Jennifer Begley, a professional opera singer.
