Congratulations to Lauren who is Shining on Success
We are absolutely delighted to be celebrating a milestone for one of our own. A massive congratulations to Lauren, who has officially completed her Level 2 Apprenticeship in Adult Care Work!
Lauren has shown dedication, balancing her studies with the high-quality, compassionate care she provides to our residents every single day. Seeing her grow and develop her skills has been a joy for the whole team.
General Manager Stefan Lupu said "We are incredibly proud of Lauren for achieving her Level 2 qualification, seeing her succeed in her apprenticeship is a testament to her hard work and the bright future she has ahead of her in the care sector."
Enjoying a fun walk with friends!
Fit and ready
By taking regular feedback and requests from our residents we can enhance our life enrichment program to suit the interests of the residents.
At our monthly Residents meeting our Residents had requested more exercise to be incorporated into the homes weekly activity planner. We invited G Fitness for a fun filled session and the Residents thoroughly enjoyed the activities that were provided. A fun filled session full of laughter.
Regular exercise improves muscle strength, balance, and flexibility, allowing older adults to perform daily tasks and reducing the risk of falls.
Spring has sprung
At Alice Grange we know that being able to continue lifelong hobbies or interests is a key part of our resident's identities, and we make every effort to encourage and support each resident to be able to do so.
Our Residents enjoyed sprucing up the spacious gardens at the home this week. After a trip to the local garden centre they enjoyed planting some flowers in the gardens planters and soaking up some sunshine. Everyone enjoyed a cuppa and home made cake once the job was done.
At Alice Grange we support and encourage our residents to continue doing the things they love whilst also developing new friendships and learning new skills.
Spice and a splash of tequila
We brought a taste of Mexico to Drayton today! To celebrate Cinco de Mayo, our residents ditched the wine into some zesty Paloma cocktails. Zoe, activities coordinator mixed up a storm for the resident whilst sharing stories, laughed, we toasted, and we definitely found our new house special. Perfect drinks, even better company. Just the right amount of fiesta spirit!
Resident Margaret shared "This is a very nice surprise, and its tastes very good too, cheers"
