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
National Chocolate Cake Day
Roman, our award-winning Head Chef, and his team put their creative talents to good use to celebrate National Chocolate Cake Day, producing scrumptious homemade tarts, mousse and cakes, which were thoroughly enjoyed by residents, visitors and staff alike. We also had a chocolate-themed quiz!
Christmas Carols by Canon
We were very pleased to welcome the Canon (UK) singing group, who performed both modern Christmas songs and the more traditional carols to a very appreciative audience, followed by mince pies and mulled wine for all.
Short Stories from Ginny
Residents at the Reigate Beaumont enjoyed a delightful afternoon with artist and author, Ginny Vera Nicoll, who read two short stories - one which included a magical tale of her dog, Marmite.
The Mayor Meets with Roy
Resident, Roy Onslow, has been awarded the Légion d’Honneur for his services during World War 2.
The French government has been awarding the Légion d’Honneur to D-Day veterans from many different countries for several years, as a way of honouring and thanking those who fought and risked their lives to secure France’s liberation during the Second World War.
Roy received the medal recently, along with an official letter from the French embassy. Honorary French Consul, Captain Francois Jean, visited Roy at the home to present the medal on 8th November.
In advance of this presentation, staff and residents held a party to celebrate, which was attended by the Mayor and Mayoress of Reigate and Banstead.
Garden of the Year Winner!
We are thrilled to have won ‘Garden of the Year 2016’ at Barchester in Bloom, a national awards ceremony held in Manchester on 30th September.
Barchester in Bloom is a gardening competition organised by the company which aims to promote the imaginative planting of flowers, trees and shrubs in the outdoor spaces of its homes to create positive environments for residents and relatives to enjoy.
‘Garden of the Year’ is the most prestigious category in the competition and everyone at the home is delighted to have won the national trophy.
The judges were extremely impressed by our garden and said: “Wherever you look the garden is awash with colour and interesting features. Clearly a lot of time and effort has gone into the creation and the landscaping of the gardens.
