Activities at Alice Grange Care Home
Our teams are trained to enrich the lives of residents through stimulating the mind, body and soul, and taking the time to learn about each person to ensure everyone receives support that adds enrichment to their life.
Activities are an integral part of life at our care home. We want to ensure that the people we support have as much fun as possible during their time with us, so it’s important that our activities programme is created with the interests of residents in mind. Our skilled Activities Coordinators bring a certain uniqueness to the home that can’t be found anywhere else, and which is reflected in the activities they organise.
Penny Allen
Hi, my name is Penny and I am the Lead Activities Coordinator here at Alice Grange.
I have many years of experience working in care homes in Activities, leisure and lifestyle roles.
I love being part of the Alice Grange team and supporting our residents to live their best lives with fun, interesting, and varied activities available every week. I always feel that the residents' input into our weekly planner is important as it gives all residents equal opportunity to explore new interests as well as keeping up with previous passions and hobbies.
Activities and Events Partnerships
As part of our bespoke life-enrichment programmes, we host a number of live virtual events in the home on a regular basis through a number of partnerships with places of interest and world class performance companies
Life at Alice Grange Care Home
Local School Visit
Heath Primary School visit us throughout the year but there is nothing quite like a Christmas sing along.
The students and teachers recently came to visit us at Alice Grange and it was a wonderful afternoon.
Everyone got into the Christmas spirit as we sang traditional carols and popular Christmas songs, a brilliant time was had by all!
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
We were joined by Suffolk Soul Singers, a delightful choir who started our day with all the Christmas favourites.
Santa was in his Grotto and children visited him with their wish lists.
We then wrapped up the day with Gus Young Music with a mix of music again with a Christmas touch.
Local Group from the Community come to Sing for us!
Project 21 is a charity in the East of England that thinks outside the box and listens to people with Down syndrome who live in the community.
Listening to their voices and their wishes and making those wishes come true.
One of their wishes this year was to go into a care home and sing to residents and we at Alice Grange were more than happy to open our doors, have them visit us, and spread some Christmas spirit.
Members of the group and our residents sang along to all the Christmas favourites.
Community Spirit at Christmas time
We were invited to a community lunch today to spread the word about what we do at Alice Grange Care Home.
Resident Ambassador Margaret has been a proud resident of Alice Grange for over six years.
When new residents come to Alice Grange, whether that be for respite or to reside with us permanently, she takes them under her wing and helps them settle in.
