Activities at Bedewell Grange Care Home

We set up our own street party with lots of cakes and treats whilst singing along to songs such as knees up mother brown, it’s a long way to Tipperary which our residents took to the floor and danced along to.

Stories were shared of the sad and happy times that were had and the joy of the celebration of the end of World war 2 .

Residents across our services had a wonderful time joining Cadbury for an interactive virtual talk on their fascinating 200-year history.

Residents joining learnt interesting facts about the chocolate giant, shared memories, and reminisced about their favourite sweet treats.

It was a heartwarming experience filled with laughter, nostalgia, and plenty of chocolatey goodness!

We enjoy lots of craft classes at Bedewell Grange. Our ladies had a go at flower weaving. We used a mixture of bright coloured artificial flowers. We chose to go with artificial so the finished project could be kept to display in their bedrooms. It was lovely to see all the finished products were different but equally as creative and beautiful. Our residents really enjoyed the session and is something we will try again. We have focused allot around spring with our activities this month.

We celebrated Easter with a tradition of hot cross buns delivered by the Easter bunny. We also held an egg hunt in the garden on Easter Sunday for all the children. There was allot of colourful activity and excitement as the children enjoyed running around collecting Easter goodies. Our residents loved seeing the children having so much fun and the Easter bunny joined in to help find the sweets. We finished off the morning with a buffet for everyone.

Dorothy and Mona shared their special day and enjoyed a party with entertainment from the fabulous Sam Naylor who sang us through the decades with a mix of music. Mona and Dorothy  were joined by all their Bedewell friends. There was lots of singing and dancing. Both ladies were showered with gifts, flowers and love and enjoyed visits and time spent with family.

Residents across our homes and hospitals had a fantastic time with vocal coach Dan Cooper from Biiah as he led an amazing sing-a-long session for residents to enjoy. Residents who joined the event were able to learn different techniques as they sang the famous ‘I Can See Clearly Now’ by Jimmy Cliff and ‘Here Comes the Sun’ by The Beatles. Across our homes there were smiles and laugher all around. The session was such a success and was great for the mind, body and soul.
