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.

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.

Life at Beaufort Grange Care Home
Easter Decoration
Residents helped us to decorate the home for Easter, which was very enjoyable for them. We had little chicks, lambs and rabbits on all tables in all lounges amongst other very cute decorations. Nobody could resist!
Celebrating Spring
Our brilliant painting club did a great job by painting and colouring lovely images of birds and flowers to celebrate spring time. Hopefully the sunshine will come again!
Chocolate Egg Day
All our residents received a large chocolate egg on that special day. Wise ones kept their chocolate egg for later while others ate the egg straight away!
Mother's Day
For Mother's Day, our residents painted some flowers, including daffodils, followed by a gin and tonic afternoon! Different tastes included rose lemonade, rhubarb, ginger and lemon. Everyone had a fabulous time!
Celtic Nations Afternoon
We all celebrated the 6 Celtic Nations. We all learnt some words and the signification of the flags. The celebration included food: Breton biscuits, shortbread and scones and alcohol-free Guinness. It was then followed by some online performances, including dances, choir and singing and pipe bands.
International Women's Day
We celebrated International Women’s Day on 8th March with some beautiful displays and stimulating conversation. Having lots of flowers was a must.
The ladies were pleasantly surprised to find beautiful cards on their tables at lunch time with the message ‘Happy Women’s Day!’, but perhaps the warmest moment came with a poem read by one of our male residents during the afternoon activities session. The mood was stimulated further by some fine pieces of classical music.
We talked about the background to International Women’s Day and watched a short video about it on YouTube. The ladies knowledge of its history was limited and they showed serious interest in learning more about it, including the period of time when women’s influence in social and political life was developing, backed by their demand for equal rights with men.
