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.
Vanessa W
Hi, my name is Vanessa, and I am proud to be the Activities Coordinator here at Reigate Beaumont. My role is not just about planning activities and enhancing the lives of our residents and creating a vibrant, engaging environment for them.
Every day, I strive to ensure that our residents feel valued and included. I organise a variety of activities ranging from arts and crafts to music therapy, and connecting with the local community.
These activities are designed to promote physical health, social interaction, emotional wellbeing. What I love about most is witnessing the joy and connection that these activities bring. With our wonderful staff, families and volunteers is essential in tailoring activities to meet unique needs and desires of each resident. Together, we build a sense of community and belonging.

Life at Reigate Beaumont Care 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!
27th Anniversary!
Reigate Beaumont celebrated 27 years today of giving outstanding care and support within Reigate and Surrey! We opened our doors to our community and welcomed new visitors, whom got to speak to staff and residents while enjoying a lovely cup of tea and cake! Thank you to our Senior Regional Director Jayne Holloway, Dr Lucy Rawson, Spencer Copping from Reigate Business Guild Reigate Business Guild, Conservative candidate for Reigate Cllr Rebecca Paul and all our other visitors for visiting us on this day.
Remembering VE Day!
Residents at Reigate Beaumont spent the day remembering VE Day and discussing their memories of World War II. Younger residents reminisced about stories their parents told them of the war and what life was like. It was lovely to hear from the residents that could remember VE Day and all the celebrations that took place. Later on in the day residents enjoyed a quiz and lovely afternoon cake, cupcakes and a cup of tea/coffee prepared by our Senior Head Chef Roman.
