Activities at Middletown Grange Care Home
We aim to provide a variety of activities that will both mentally and physically stimulate the people we support. Residents have a range of different needs and interests, and it is crucial that these are reflected in the activities available, so that each individual is able to participate to the best of their ability. We organise both group and individual social events that everyone is welcome to take part in; there is a weekly outing to local places of interest, including the garden centre and the local farms, parks and museums. In addition, we enjoy regular visits from entertainers and even exotic animals. We also host events such as 'Beach Day' that relatives and friends are encouraged to participate in. Getting involved in charities is a big part of our ethos, so events such as 'PJs for Pudsey' and pirate-themed days are regularly hosted to raise money for different foundations, including the Alzheimer’s Society.

Life at Middletown Grange Care Home
Our Monthly Friday Coffee Morning
What a wonderful day for our Friday Coffee Morning Club in the sunshine! A huge thank you to Doreen and Julia for laying on a lovely tea and cake morning, with special thanks to the kitchen for producing some beautiful cakes. Our residents loved it and it was lovely to see some of our families join in. Our Coffee Morning happens every third Friday of the month with the next one happening on Friday 21st June 10:00am-12:00pm. You are all welcome to come along and join us.
Retail Therapy
Here at Middletown Grange we all love a bit of retail therapy. We have been out and about this week visiting Sainsbury's for shopping and then relaxed in Starbucks having tea and cake before returning to go to Hailey Village Hall for lunch and a special talk from the police on how to avoid scams. It was really interesting and insightful.
The Sun is Shining
At last the big bright yellow beam of light has arrived in the gardens! Its so nice to sit outside for our breakfast and coffee mornings. Lets hope this weather sticks around for a bit for us all to enjoy. Lunch outside anyone?
Working our way into May
Its been a busy start to May for us here at Middletown Grange. Our weekly yoga exercises continue to be a hit in the home with Amanda, but for some of us you cant beat a sit down with a good book. Here at Middletown Grange we want to ensure our residents have a purpose to each day so ensure we offer a variety of activities to support the people we care for.
Blossoming Gardens
We went out to smell the flowers with a lovely walk around the garden in the sunshine.
Flowers evoke a multisensory experience with beautiful colours and different smells.
Dopamine are released and makes us feel better. Flowers can chase away anxiety, worries and the blues, making people feel less depressed troubled or agitated.They can induce a more positive outlook on life boosting energy and happiness.
April Open Day
Our Open Day Event was a huge success this weekend as we opened the doors to the local community. We welcomed new families and old into the home to enjoy celebrations, music and plenty of food. We even had a big birthday celebration which everyone enjoyed over the 2 days.
