Activities at Alice Grange Care Home
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.

Life at Alice Grange Care Home
Trip to Woodbridge
Residents from our memory lane community took a trip out to a local support café in Woodbridge on the mini bus. They enjoyed a performance from a local choir as well as chatting to others at the café.
Congratulations!

Staff and Residents at Woodland View had fun raising money for charity on Red Nose Day. Staff donated to dress up in their PJs or Onsies for a day which was enjoyed by all - including the residents!

Some of the residents at Alice Grange headed out to Cafe 66 for lunch. We wrapped up warm against the wind and enjoyed some hot drinks and food.
