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.

Life at Reigate Beaumont Care Home
Happy Moments!
It has been one of those days where you look back and say...how lovely and wonderful to see such happy children. Baby Boppers by Bella & Boo joined residents for an afternoon of music and fun with mums and their little ones. We laughed, smiled and enjoyed the company of mums and their babes. Every month we welcome Sam and her members to our home to spend time with our residents engaged in activities. There is just something about seeing smiling happy children that lifts the soul. Don't you think?
Family Fun Day!
When everyone just gets together and spends their time having FUN! Rain or shine! From playing giant games, listening to Grace Gardner sing, to toddlers on the soft play, joining in a baby class by Baby Boppers by Bella & Boo, to meeting our local PCSO officers from Reigate and Banstead Beat (Surrey Police). Delicious ice cream, burgers and hotdogs, cupcakes and cakes. Just a lovely afternoon of family and fun. Absolutely wonderful to welcome Deputy Mayor of the Borough of Reigate and Banstead Cllr Mrs Sue Sinden Mayor of the Borough of Reigate and Banstead to our home.
Luscious Lavender!
What a glorious morning outing for residents and staff. Not one of us had ever been to a lavender farm before and we were in awe of the delightful colour as far as the eye could see. The amazing amount of products that could be created with lavender were astounding. We had the most delicious Lavender Shortbread Biscuits and Lavender & Lemon Muffin with our cups of tea and coffee! Chatting to visitors in the curio shop and watching families hop on the tractor & train ride through the fields. A lovely sight to see.
D-Day 80!
Today we honoured the sacrifices of D-Day by remembering, reflecting and giving thanks. Together with relatives and residents, we enjoyed chatting about the significance of this day over cake and tea. It was moving to hear stories from residents that remembered what is was like being a child over 80 years ago. Some interesting facts were discussed about details surrounding D-Day and we all enjoyed a fun quiz with some surprising answers! It was a lovely day, spent with loved ones, celebrating a very important day on the British calendar.
Rainy Day Friday!
A little bit of rain didn't stop us from venturing out for a lovely drive and stopping at Denbies Wine Estate for some refreshments. Residents enjoyed a
delicious slice of Lemon Loaf with a lovely hot drink followed by browsing around their unique Wine & Gift Shop. The Art Gallery also had some beautiful works of art on display and the vineyards were stunning to look at. Outings are always a great way to connect with residents on another level and what is better than chatting over a lovely cuppa together!
Spring Bank Holiday!
It may be a quiet Spring Bank Holiday for some, but here at Reigate Beaumont - we were letting the 'good times roll' with Billy Fox singing a fantastic variety of songs. We surely have started the week off with a BANG! Our staff always join in with activities, especially with music and with staff with loads of energy around, there is lots of dancing and singing along with the residents. Which they absolutely love! Our residents love listening to all kinds of music and we have a musician entertaining residents every week. What fun!
