Celebrating life at Barchester

National celebrations and family-friendly events are just some of the ways that we ensure the residents at Alice Grange remain connected with their loved ones and the wider community.

Our Residents are preparing for a Harvest Festival event open to our local community and friends. They enjoyed an arts and crafts session making and wreaths ready for the celebrations.

Ensuring that we host events that relatives, friends and our local community can enjoy is very important to us here at Alice Grange. 

Our staff and residents had a fantastic time celebrating National Curry Week, which took place recently.

Our award winning Chef Roshan led a superb masterclass session on all the secrets to creating mouth watering curries. 

Animal therapy is one of the cornerstones of our life enrichment program and features regularly on our resident-led weekly activity planner.

The Residents at Alice Grange enjoyed a visit from the Mini Donkeys and this even included individual room visits so all our Residents could enjoy.

Residents at Alice Grange love the animal therapy sessions that our dedicated Activities Team organises every month. As one of the foundations of our Life Enrichment program, we know that animal therapy can help reduce blood pressure and improve overall cardiovascular health. 

Celebrating special events are a cornerstone of the life enrichment at Alice Grange Care Home. Ensuring that family and friends are involved ensures that every celebration creates special memories.

Our resident Gill and her husband Richard celebrated their 60th Diamond wedding anniversary and even recieved a card from the King. They spent this special day with family and held an early celebration at the home to kick off the celebrations in style.

At Alice Grange that's what we like to do - create memories, and ensure our residents are leading full enriched lives.

It may have been a little fresh outside, but that didn’t stop us from enjoying a lovely walk around the nearby lakes. 
There’s something special about getting out and about, enjoying the fresh air, taking in the beautiful surroundings and sharing a little time together.
Sometimes, a simple walk in nature is all you need! 

Derham House would like to say huge congratulations to our wonderful kitchen assistant, Clare Gregory, who has just celebrated an amazing 10 years of service with us! Clare is such a valued member of our team, helping keep our kitchen running smoothly and making sure our residents are well looked after. Thank you, Clare, for all your hard work, dedication and the care you put into everything you do. Here's to many more years!

We love finding creative ways to ensure all of our residents can participate in our activities. 

Everyone loved our latest alpaca guests, who have learned to use the Ritson Lodge elevator so they can travel floor-to-floor and make a personal stop to see absolutely everyone!
