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
Flowers in the Sun
Residents of Alice Grange could not wait to get out and enjoy the wonderful weather. The day was spent in the glorious fresh air, arranging flowers for the home and socialising together.
CPR Training
Alice Grange is so lucky to have a team of staff that are so passionate about learning.
Here you will see some of us hard at work learning and refreshing our memories on CPR and emergency first aid work.
Exhausting, fun and informative.
International Nurses' Day at Alice Grange
At Alice Grange, we celebrated International Nurses' Day with style. We enjoyed music from Martlesham Brass and every nurse received beautiful flowers. We are so lucky to have a full team of nurses and, with Barchester's excellent training scheme, watch them progress with their careers.
One of our nurses said, "I love my job. The management are excellent and the staff are always smiling and ready to help. Barchester provides excellent training and they encourage us to learn, teach and develop."
1940s Week
We always love dressing up here at Alice Grange, so we all decided to spend an entire week dressed up in 1940s outfits.
Jane and Julie performed for us, and helped us get into the 1940s vibe.
Her Majesty's Birthday Bash
We celebrated the Queen’s birthday in style with music, dancing and lots and lots of cake. There was a loud and heartfelt Happy Birthday singalong, and we all raised a glass.
Happy birthday, ma’am.
A Piece of Pizza!
We love baking at Alice Grange and nothing goes down quite so well as home-baked pizza.
The smells coming from the oven had the staff and resident's tummies rumbling; the results were delicious and made for a very tasty teatime!
